Wedge Shoes Guide

Posts Tagged ‘white wedge shoe’

So I'm off to buying a pair of white wedge shoes, and I started to remember the old rule about when you can wear white shoes. Of course Americans use the term Memorial Day and Labor Day, as in not until after Memorial day and never after Labor Day, or some such silly rule. Rules, at least the silly ones, are meant to be broken. White shoes, these days, can be worn whenever you want, even in winter. The problem is that not a lot of shoes are available in winter styles and are a bright white. If you look hard enough, you can find several styles. My personal favorite white wedge shoe is the sandal.

Now why do I choose white when you can only wear it a a few months of the year? Because, when you do wear it, it brightens up an entire outfit. Think about how gorgeous white and black look together. I love wearing the combination of those styles in late summer and fall. I used to have this really fantastic black and white dress with a black patent belt (shhh it was the early 90s!), and this fantastic pair of white wedge pumps. That outfit got so many compliments it was crazy. Now, if you want a really great white wedge, you can choose a full on white or you can find a mix of white with other colors.

NAUGHTY MONKEY Women's Top Notch Wedge $89.99

So I've found my love in life and it is these incredibly gorgeous NAUGHTY MONKEY Women's Top Notch.

They look taller than they feel. The smallish platform on the toe makes them a breeze to walk in. The color is this lovely chocolate (true chocolate, not milk chocolate) color that looks amazing.

What makes these shoes specifically so lovely is the matching heel color. Wedges often have a wood heel that shows, making the shoe a little on the casual side. This shoe, with its covered heel, is gorgeous with suits and dresses alike. Its the yum.

Heel size: 3 3/4 (but the platform is 3/4 too so it makes the heel a doable 3"). The peep toe is really small so you don't have to polish all your toes if you don't want to. haha!

I mostly just love the patent look though, especially next to the white. Fabuloso.

MICHAEL KORS Women's Molly Wedge Naplak $109.64 With Free Shipping 16 % OFF

Someone is bound to look at these shoes and think "borrrrring" when comparing with my other style choices, but everyone needs one good pair of casual white wedge shoes in their closet. Why? Because I said so. No really, because you'll wear them to death.

White goes with everything, and a good pair of white wedge shoes goes with more than everything. If you look at these shoes, can't you see wearing them with a formal outfit to a wedding and just as easily throw them on with a pair of shorts and a t-shirt? That's the point of owning a basic white wedge sandal. And a well made shoe that you wear all the time is a bargain.

Michael Kors shoes are a dream to wear. Comfortable, light, pretty and cushiony, Ferragamo would be proud (you know, the guy that invented the wedge).

The three inch heel is a little high, but still comfortable for all occasions. The ankle strap fits easily around the ankle and isn't uncomfortable like some others I've worn. All in all, a great shoe for the spring and summer (and quite possibly fall =)).

Sofft Women's Addie $62.99

While you need a good basic white wedge sandal, you also need a slip on sandal. These particular styles won't go perfectly with the formal dresses, but they are so comfy and easy to slip on and off, they tend to get worn out the fastest in my closet. It comes with being lazy about putting shoes on.

Sofft makes a lovely style of sandal and I'm lovin every inch of the design. (I know it's corny, but there is the most gorgeous flower pattern on this shoe's sole which I pretty much bought the whole shoe because of). If you're looking for great slip on sandal, this one will do the trick nicely. It's super comfy and doesn't have that icky toe thing that happens when you wear thong sandals.

Looking for a wedge shoe and not sure what to buy? I've got some answers and choices to narrow down your decision.

It may be difficult to choose from a black, white, red or gold shoe. Even more difficult: finding a wedge shoe that fits perfectly. The problem is that most wedges used to be espadrilles or casual shoes, but all that changed with the web.

The Internet blew the door wide open to choices in shoes. Where before women had limited choices in terms of shopping, today it's unlimited. At the push of a button you can find shoes in any country, design, cut, color or fabric you want. Of course, you can usually find a great pair of shoes at your local department stores, but when you want a wedge shoe, there are a lot of limitations to shopping at local stores. Their selection of styles is minimal for one thing; you can't check out the competition easily for another.

The bottom line is when you're looking for wedge shoes, you need variety because so many styles are made for casual wear, and a wedge has so many good qualities, you want at least one for those fancy occasions.

A wedge supports the whole foot, that means more balance and less wobble. Formal occasions usually involve dancing or standing around (hello weddings), and it's really important to be able to look fabulous while doing all that dancing and standing. Mission accomplished with wedges.

Black Wedge Shoes Go With Nearly Everything

If you're looking for shoes that will go with everything, you'll want to take a peek at some black wedge shoes. There are hundreds of styles of wedges on the market. Finding some that really sparkle for a formal event, or are just comfortable, for that day out shopping, is the trick.

Why Choose a Black Wedge Shoe?

Let's face it, we have some staples in our closets. Jeans, of course. That perfect skirt that goes with everything and makes us feel slim and awesome. The basic purse that goes everywhere. And at least one pair of black shoes in every style from evening to pump, to high heel. What I think is special about a black wedge shoe is that it can double as both a dress shoe and a casual shoe, if the right style is picked out.

Black in general is such a basic color that the only no-no is blue. (black and blue = bruise). It's not ideal with purples either, but a mix of black and lavender works.

The perfect black wedge shoe goes well in both winter and summer. When it comes to black shoes, you really can't go wrong.

White Wedge Shoes Are Perfect for Summer and Spring

So while black shoes go with nearly everything, white wedges go with everything. In that case why buy black at all? Well, for one thing white is not the best color for every season. While social norms are changing, and white is becoming more common during the fall, it still is a good idea to stick with off whites for winter.(unless you're getting married). There are exceptions, like white wedge boots.

Why choose a White Wedge Shoe?

I look at my closet and almost always I go for my white shoes.(I'll reference those white wedge sandals again here and say they are so easy to wear). I pick white because it goes with everything and it's bright. Of course there are other bright colors, red, orange etc, but how many of those can be worn with anything in your closet? With a pair of white wedge sandals, you can feel a little lighter, brighter.

What works best? Having both a black and white pair of shoes.
