Every summer I find myself reaching for the same type of shoe: wedge sandals. They’re comfortable enough for long days, easy to style, and somehow make even the simplest outfit look more put together.

While flat sandals are practical and heels can feel like too much effort, wedges sit somewhere in the middle. They add height without sacrificing comfort, which is probably why everyone is wearing them from the Cote D’Azur to the Italian Riviera; they even work for summer city breaks like London or Paris. 

If you’re looking for fresh ways to wear wedge sandals this season, these outfit ideas are full of inspiration. From linen trousers and relaxed dresses to denim and matching sets, there’s something here for every summer plan.
