Ok I’ve written about blue wedge shoes, but today I’m going to talk about navy wedge shoes. Why? Because well a) I love wedge shoes and b) I love navy. I mean I just bought a navy sofa and we painted our east living room wall navy, so I don’t just say I love navy, I mean it. Blue in general is a great color, however, let’s be honest, most blues do not go with much. Jeans and… ok jeans are about it right? I’m being a little facetious, but navy is fantastic because you get all the blue and none of the hassle of the “oh crap these are cute shoes, but they don’t go with this outfit”. Navy wedges go with just about anything, save black. Unless you want to look bruised, I’d leave the little black dress to some spicier colors (like a pair of red wedges, hawt).

So I won’t go into other navy shoes, although I could, because this site is about wedge heels not spike high heels (although I’m tempted to make one of those too). Many navy wedges have the same problem that other wedges have, they’re made to go with casual or semi-casual clothing. Thank you God for Michael Kors, right? The man makes the most fantabulous shoes, many of which are wedges, and are great for evening or semi-formal wear. Other designers do a lot too, but like Michael, suffer from Excessive Wedge Sandal Usage. While I love a good sandal, please designers let’s see some closed toe shoes with wedge heels.

While we love navy and wedges the problem stands with finding navy shoes with a wedge heel and closed toe and aren’t casual. Not that we don’t want the other styles too, right? So, while not impossible, it’s difficult to find some of the rarer navy wedge heels; i.e. dressy, closed toe etc. To that end I’ve put together a bunch of different styles that work well with all different situations. Many web designers put their personal touches on the choices they pick for their sites, but I’ve tried to pick a good representation of different styles and not personal tastes (not that I don’t sneak my personal favorites in there, because, oh yes, I do!).

Lastly, when talking about navy wedges, you have to mention the nautical look. Quite frankly when I think of nautical looks, I think only about wedge heels. I can picture beautiful white wide leg slacks or jeans with a little sailor top and wedge heels. Personally, it’s a favorite style of mine, but maybe I’m biased with my lovely navy fetish? So if you’re getting a pair of navy wedge shoes, you might try a few of the sneaker, ked and other nautical styles I’ve included below.

Katy Perry sporting the vintage wedge look to perfection

When I think of blue wedges, I think of pin up girls, sailor hats and flouncy skirts with blue and white polka dots. I am a big fan of vintage clothing. I've even written articles on vintage dresses. There is something beautiful about the dresses of the 40s, 50s and 60s. I bet you're picturing outfits now.

A great pair of blue wedge shoes can really look fantastic with the right outfit. I love vintage looks, especially those from the 50s. The pin up gals, like Bettie Page, were superbly glamorous with their Peter Pan collars and tight halter dresses. Right now vintage is in and I couldn't be happier. Katy Perry and Dita Von Teese have made some incredible inroads with bringing back the fashions of pin up gals.

Since the wedge shoes were invented in the 30s, they've made a splash. Whether paired with a pin up style dress, as written above, or worn with shorts, the wedge shoe is lovely. In fact, a pair of blue wedges look great with swimsuits and shorts. The pin up gals modeled that idea, and it's still popular today.

There are hundreds of shades of blue wedge shoes and each can play an important role in the wardrobe. If you're looking for a shade of blue that functions with many different types of clothing, choose navy. Navy is a gorgeous color and looks spectacular with tan, white and red.

One of my favorite outfits is the blue and white striped sweater, or blouse, with a pair of white or khaki pants worn with a wedge sandal in navy blue. White is probably the ultimate contrast color with navy, which makes this combination really hot. It was really popular years ago, 80s or 90s I think, and I'm not sure how things like leggings, skinny jeans and vests are coming back (ew), and not styles that were really cute like the sailor colors. Maybe I'm too much of a soccer mom? Is it just me that finds those combination unbelievably cute?

I may not be in my 20s, but I can sure appreciate Katy Perry's style choices. And obviously the world agrees with me, because her style is almost as popular as her music. I love the cover of her album, especially the big hats. I really hope she's bringing back the whole 50's rockabilly styling.
