Style Wedges Like a Fashion Star Though not the hottest seasonal hit, wedge platforms or wedge heels, whatever you call them, are widely loved by fashion-conscious gals and for a good reason. This footwear is extremely comfortable due to a joined heel and sole support and still has the ante and chic you’d normally get with heels. The history of wedges dates back to the 1930s when Italian designer, Salvatore Ferragamo, created the first wedge heels as orthopaedic shoes. A combo of casualty and elegance along with high walking comfort made wedges popular and those shoes are still in style. Modern wedge shoes vary in heel height from slight raise to several centimetre heels and come in many different fabrics. Textile wedge sandals on cork soles have remained a summer staple for many years and are not going to leave. Patent leather wedges look a dressier and are good for higher-profile looks while wedge mules in suede are a piece of casual chic good for well-set off-duty outfits. Wedge shoes look amazingly good with such details and lace-up straps, criss-cross straps, knot ties, and T-shaped straps. While wedge boots are out of style, wedge Oxfords and courts are still trending. Though wedges are not a prime choice for the evening, high-heel wedge shoes or sandals entirely made of leather or suede in solid basic colour will perfectly match an evening dress. Just go for some flared design like a wrap or a-line dress. When it comes to failproof styling options, wedge shoes effortlessly work with skinny jeans, shorts, bootcut jeans and trousers with a mild flare, cropped jeans and culottes, all bohemian style garments, loose maxi skirts and dresses or short and knee-long flared designs. Wedge courts are good for office wear and will look great with demure business skirts, trousers, and suits. Notably, wedge platforms have some sort of ankle-slimming effect. So, if you want your lower legs to look leaner and thinner, pick chunky wedges. And if you have naturally skinny legs, choose slimmer wedges to scale the whole look.
