STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Welcome, Wedges

Style Advice of the Week

If there is one item that I look most forward to donning when the weather gets warmer and when it becomes appropriate for my toes to make their reappearance, it would be the wedge. There’s just something about this summer shoe that is universally easy for almost anyone to wear. Maybe it’s the fact that the sturdy heel offers more support to prevent the woeful wobbling that stilettos sometimes bring. Or maybe its because wedges offer the flexibility of dressing a look up or down, solely based on what you pair them with. Regardless, wedges are definitely the go-to shoe for this spring and summer season.

This Fashionista brought a punch to her spring outfit with these incredible patterned wedges. A shoe with such bright pops of color and a hip tribal-like print are sure to kick any outfit up a notch. Worn with a pair of tailored, white shorts and a sheer, patterned top, these wedges not only add some height to her look, but continue the colors of her outfit from top to bottom. With the addition of these colorful kicks, this Fashionista’s ensemble can appear instantly more refined and dressier.

But don’t limit wedges to just your shorts and blouse pairings. Try a wedge with a fun trouser to spice up a work outfit for your summer job. Or add some height to your maxi dress with a wedge in a neutral color. As this Fashionista proves, patterned wedges are going to be very popular this spring and summer, and your choices won’t be limited. Steve Madden and Theodora & Callum have some of the most perfect options out there right now. So as you’re donning your shorts, skirts and dresses this spring, don’t forget to give a big welcome to the wedges — you’ll be glad to see them.
