Madre's Shoe Tips: Wedge Heels – What to wear them with?

For those that are scared to try high heels, wedges are a perfect thing for you to try! Just like heels, a wedge can add your height without causing you any difficulties or ache whilst walking.

One thing I’ve been told is that everyone loves how exceptionally fashionable these shoes are. It would go with any style, be it extremely elegant or even those that like keeping it simple, and it could also be worn to various occasions and would still have you looking stunning!

Wedges would look great on any variation of clothes that you may choose to wear; whether you put on long skirts or dresses or even shorter pieces, wedges will give that extra mile to your outfit. So why don’t we talk about what to wear with your favourite wedges?

With Dresses

Wedges look stunning with dresses, be it short or long. But it also goes great with our traditional attire such as kurung, kebaya, cheongsam, and saree. So when looking at how to stylise your wedges with these dresses, it all really comes down to your personal preferences.

For a kurung or kebaya, a covered wedge keeps the line clean: Reana SE Slingback Wedge. For an event, Ruby Mary Jane Buckle Wedge has a buckle strap that stays put through a long day of standing.

With Long Pants

Another favourite to go with wedges are pants, be it slacks or palazzo. If you match it correctly, then you’ll have that beautiful casual look for your everyday outfit to work or socialising. Put on a cute top with them and you’re ready.

With a wide hem, let the toe show: Layka Slingback Peep Toe Wedge peeks out just enough from under palazzo pants.

With Jeans

Yes, jeans are pants. But since jeans are a classic option with wedges, they deserve their own category. It’s important to take note of the style of your jeans. Skinny jeans are perfect for showing off your wedges, but with bootleg or flared jeans you need to make sure the hem covers most of the wedge to create the most streamlined silhouette.

For denim on denim, Hanna Peep Toe Wedge is made in a denim upper, which works better with jeans than a glossy finish does.

With Shorts

If you prefer to wear your wedges with something shorter then you can definitely do it. A more casual wedge looks great with shorts and a tucked-in shirt.

A lighter, open wedge suits this best: Mya Slingback Wedge, which is the lightest in our range and has an adjustable side buckle.

With Skirts

To wear wedges with skirts, it is better to steer clear of any skirt that is too form-fitting, because wedges tend to appear quite chunky. Teaming them with a pencil skirt or anything too body-hugging can give an unflattering and clunky appearance. Looser, flowing skirts ultimately look better with wedges, though it is still up to your personal preference.

Getting the Balance Right

All in all, the key is getting the right style and balance in your outfit.
