Every time I step out, there’s another chic neighbor who turns my head. Lately, the stylish outfits I’ve seen European cool girls and my fellow New Yorkers wear have one thing in common: a pair of shoes that aren’t exactly the same. heel but definitely not flats. They’re the perfect in-between shoe, comfortable enough to walk a few blocks and stylish enough to wear to dinner. I am talking wedge sandals. Not only do I keep seeing this trend IRL, and I mean the West Village brooklynBut when I scroll through my Instagram feed I also see it among Europe’s coolest dressers.
The wedge trend, once considered “dated,” had a resurgence last spring and summer. It was even incorporated into sneakers, in line with the fashion of the 2010s era, cycling. Now, wedge sandals are becoming the norm among cool girls, who are ditching their usual pumps for this fun, fresh, nostalgic style. My guess is that by June everyone will be in a pair. If you want to beat the crowd, keep scrolling to find a pair of wedge sandals that fit your personal style from my top picks.
Style Tip: Try styling your pair with capri pants for a cute, but casual outfit.
