How To Wear Wedge Shoes

Posted on 2009-11-04, 04:41, by AlexV, under Clothing.

Wedge shoes are ever popular because they are give women such a flattering leg line, causing the ankle to look slim and the legs to appear longer. They are also more comfortable than other types of high heels, which means that you can wear them happily all throughout the day and arrive home without limping and without feet covered in blisters. Wedge shoes, purple wedge shoes, red wedge shoes, black wedges, white wedges, wedge sandals and any other combination you can think of are a great way to make an outfit pop.

The only possible downside to wedges is that they can sometimes appear somewhat casual (depending on what they are paired with) or may look chunky if worn with tight pants.

Knowing how to match your wedge heels with your outfit can be confusing. There are some basic principles and suggestions that help to make you look glamorous and well put together. If there is one thing that we can be thankful to Sex in the City for, it is for ripping apart previously held fashion conventions – we are so post modern with our fashion now that old rules such as not having your bra straps showing have been thrown out the window. In fashion however, the old adage still stands though: "You have to know the rules to break them."

Black wedges and gold wedge shoes can be worn with bootleg or flared pants and can add a great touch to a night time outfit. They are a great choice if you are going out on the town dancing as they are comfortable enough to dance the night away in.

Wedge sandals always look great when they are combined with flowing skirts or the Bohemian skirts that have been popular in summer the past few seasons. Wedge sandals also look great with loosely fitting knee length summer dresses.

Pastel shades such as pink or white wedges can make a winning ensemble when they are coupled with a feminine print dress. Wedges such as espadrilles can also look fabulous when they are put together with girlish knee length skirts or dresses and give off a carefree summery feel.

Brightly colored shoes such as purple or red wedges are well matched with bright Indian style prints. If the prints have gold or silver threads running through them they can really look glamorous.

Don't think that wedges are just for summer, they can be worn in any season to give your outfit and height a boost. In recent winter seasons, wedge heeled boots have also become very popular thanks to their comfort factor. Closed toed wedge shoes can be worn with stockings to give your legs a slim line throughout winter. In spring and fall, you can opt for either open or close toed wedge shoes.

Wedges have been a popular shoe style for women for many years because of their versatility and flattering lines. Whether you are wearing wedge sandals, red wedge shoes, gold, white or black wedges they can really add something special to an outfit lending it a fun and flirty edge. If your wardrobe is as yet wedgeless then it is time to invest in a couple of pairs.
