I Can't Believe I'm Saying This, But I Think Wedges Might Be Cool Again
For one reason or another, 2024 will go down as the year of the fashion comeback kid, with everything from low-rise jeans and whale tails to micro miniskirts and platform flip-flops returning to relevancy in a big way. But the year isn't over yet. Potentially Wholesale Replica Bag resurgence in 2024 is a heel style you likely thought you'd retired for good back in 2007: wedges.
Despite swearing off the sculptural sandal silhouette years ago, I haven't been able to get them off my mind. Brands like Jeffery Campbell, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, Gucci, and Free People have all put modern spins on the once-outdated style, making wedges all the more tempting. By the time I spotted (and subsequently purchased) a pair of red-leather wedge boots at Zara, I was a full-blown convert.
On the off chance that you aren't quite so easy to convince, keep scrolling. I'd be willing to bet that you'll be fast on your way to becoming a certified wedge owner after seeing the 36 pairs ahead.
Wedge Boots
These are bound to keep your feet dry and warm—not to mention they're on-trend.
The comfortable alternative to your high-heeled winter booties.
Thong Wedges
These just might be the chicest flip-flops I've ever seen.
These platform sandals are giving me serious "early aughts Paris Hilton by the pool" vibes.
Wedge Mules
Anyone who knows me well knows just how much I adore a clear sandal strap detail.
Strappy Wedges
Anyone who's had their eyes on these wedges for years (myself included!) knows all too well just how hard they are to find in stock.
Literally anything Christopher Esber does will impress me, and these sandals are no exception.
Espadrilles
Once you have cream-and-black espadrilles, navy is an obvious next purchase.
