A Short Guide on How to Wear Wedge Shoes and Sandals


You're probably used to hearing that wedge shoes are a more casual shoe. But wedges range from a wide variety of different styles that can be worn with just about any outfit. While any outfit looks great with certain wedge shoes, there are ideal pants, jeans and skirts that work with the wedge.
Jeans and pants look particularly sassy and pretty when worn with a canvas wedge sandal or espadrilles. Espadrilles are a shoe with a canvas top and woven rope (juta rope) bottom. While not all are wedges, there are many various wedge Espadrilles, from open toed, to closed toe, wrap straps to slip on.
Espadrilles are not the only type of wedge that look great with a pair of jeans. There are other sandals, and closed toe wedges, which look really fantastic. Even leather and more embellished wedges look great with jeans. It all depends on the type of shirt.
If you wear a fancier shirt, such as silk or rayon, a more fancy type of wedge will be more appropriate. However, if you pair jeans, or pants, with a t-shirt, a casual leather or canvas shoe is a better fit.
Skirts look fantastic with straps that wrap up the leg. One of the great things about a wedge is they give the leg a lovely look and height, while not creating the discomfort of a stiletto, when walking. The wedge can look especially lovely with a flare skirt.
However you pair your wedge shoes, there are some basic things to think about. Skirts look best with taller heels, even only as high as an inch. Canvas shoes don't look as great with semi-formal or formal dresses, but a leather sandal can really make an evening dress look wonderful. While wedges are easier to wear than stilettos, they still are not as easy to wear as a flat. For most leather wedges, you can clean them with a simple cloth or polish. With a canvas shoe, read the instructions on how to clean the upper portion, which may have different instructions than the heel.
