To be on top: how and with what to wear wedge shoes

Send

And wedge shoes are in fashion again. We tell you which models you should pay attention to this season.

Those who want to be on top this summer, but prefer comfortable, stable models to heels, should pay attention to one of the main trends of the season - wedge shoes. Once again, the wedge heel was the subject of keen interest of designers. It combines comfort and style - characteristics that are rarely united by the same pair of shoes. The wedge heel “structures” the silhouette, adds grace and grace, is suitable for an evening date and at the same time withstands all the tests of a busy working day.
A convenient alternative to high heels was offered to the world by Salvatore Ferragamo. In the 30s of the last century, he came up with shoes on a high solid sole made of cork. A fan of the new model instantly became Marilyn Monroe. Thanks to her wedge shoes has become synonymous with femininity.

Combine the incongruous: what shoes to wear with skirts of different lengths?

In the 1960s, hippies picked up the trend. They wore a wedge with flared pants, bohemian dresses and boho-style sundresses. Combined with hats and beads, creating romantic images. The classic version left over from that time is straw wedge sandals.This season they are returning to the collections of all designers without exception, in combination with flared skirts, long dresses and sundresses, shorts and trousers. These shoes perfectly convey the resort mood and are supposedly created for coastal walks or romantic city dates.
An alternative to cork or straw wedges is a leather wedge. Patent and metallic leather models are particularly relevant this season. For fans of urban chic, sports style or minimalism, sports models on a wedge are created: sneakers, gym shoes and even slippers. The latest trend is sandals with various types of platforms: cork combined with wood, wicker straw with rubber, in general - a full range of fantasies.

Such a pair is useful in every everyday wardrobe: we wear with a silk dress, with a pleated skirt or with shorts. Pay attention to models with a combination of soles and with corrugated soles. Shoes decorated with complex decorative elements: bows, draped fabric, and colorful embroidery are also in fashion this season. Such sandals are very relevant, but they should be worn with concise clothes, so that shoes become the main focus of the image.
