OK, before you roll your eyes with a this-is-definitely-nothing-new-or-innovative look, I feel I must explain. I know the wedge has been around for ages, literally, and that everyone worth a lick in the fashion industry (even those that aren't) has created their own version. However, it must be noted that this retro style comes and goes, again and again and again. Thus, its repeated prevalence bestows upon it a level of status that few styles, shoe or otherwise, can equal.
And for that reason, I feel that it is, in a way, my duty to share with you some of the amazing wedges I have found available right this minute, as I type this sentence...are you shopping yet? Because you absolutely should be...
Wedge $1-$200
Top to Bottom, Left to Right: Cork Wedge Heel Shoe (Red), Zara, $90; Black Multi Platform Espadrille, Soda Terani, lulus.com, $29; Gemini (shown in red, other colors available), Kelsi Dagger, designer's website, $99; Raven, Vincent Camuto, Piperlime, $98; Sophie (shown in black/brown, other colors available), Sam Edelman, Shopbop, $120; Lined Wedge (green), Zara, $70; Yellow Neon Linen Wedge, My Delicious Glow, lulus.com, $29; Destin, BCBGMAXAZRIA, designer's website, $195; Katy Bis (shown in black, other color available), Bettye Muller, Zappos, $195; Linya Leather and Satin T-Strap Wedges, Boutique 9, Saks, $140
Current Favorite(s): Sam Edelman Sophie- I own these little gems, and the shorter heel/ankle strap make them sexy and functional. I pair them with a short black linen skirt and white blouse, but they're also perfect with skinnies or blousy shorts!
Wedge $201-$500
Top to Bottom, L to R: Dulce (gold), BCBGMAXAZRIA, designer's website, $225; Bow Espadrille Wedge, Prada, Bergdorf Goodman, $425; Braided Raffia Leather Espadrilles, Belle by Sigerson Morrison, Saks, $210; Tabia Cork Wedge Pumps, Jean Michel Cazabet, Shopbop, $295; Encore (shown in orange/pink, other colors available); Stuart Weitzman, Piperlime, $385; King (nude, comes in black), Rachel Zoe, Shopbop, $375; Valentine Raffia Leather Wedges, Loeffler Randall, designer's website, $375; Firama Leather Espadrille Wedges, Ralph Lauren Collection, Saks, $395; Suede Espadrille Wedges (coral, comes in gold), DVF, Saks, $210; Cutout Wedge Espadrille, Chloe, Neiman Marcus, $495
Current Favorite: DVF Suede Espadrille wedges- I haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing these on a foot, but I love the coral and nothing beats a good espadrille. I have a beautiful white linen dress that would suit these just fine.
