The wedge sandal, these have been my favourite summer sandal since my teenage years. So, you can imagine my excitement with the recent iterations of this somewhat nostalgic shoe trend. Even though these shoes are considered very much "boho-chic" they are versatile enough to style with a variety of dress codes — whether it be a wedding guest look, office fits or even cool street style. A true work horse if you will.
Today's wedge landscape is more varied than ever, offering a silhouette for every preference and occasion. On the high-fashion end, we see luxurious iterations like Chloe's dramatic, towering platform wedges, crafted with rich, sculptural wood heels that make a bold statement. Yet, the timeless appeal of the classic espadrille wedge remains, celebrated for its woven sole and undeniable European charm—a perfect complement to floaty linen and sun dresses. Then there are the cool-girl versions: modern, minimalist takes on the wedge, often featuring sleeker lines, unexpected cut-outs, and more sculptural forms that appeal to a contemporary, avant-garde sensibility. The possibilities for styling, therefore, are truly infinite.
But with the official arrival of open-toe season, a crucial point must be addressed, ladies: the new wedge purchase deserves to be showcased with equal care. Before you step out in your beautiful new footwear, take a moment to invest in a pedicure. A polished, well-groomed foot is the perfect accessory, ensuring your summer sandals—from the towering platforms to the casual espadrilles—look their absolute best.
