How To Wear Wedge Sneakers (Warning: May Cause Spontaneous Jumping!)
Some trends come on the scene and almost everybody loves them immediately – peplums and cap-toes, for example. Then there are those that have to grow on you over time. And still there are others that are equally hated and loved by the masses no matter how much time you give it…like the wedge sneaker! They came on the scene earlier this year evoking mixed reactions from fashion enthusiasts everywhere. And, even among those who love the trend, there are many who prefer to love them from afar. You know how that goes — “I love them…on you! But, I’m not sure how I would wear those.” I’m clearly not one of those people. Lol! When I love something, I just cannot let someone else have all the fun…I’ve gotta join in.
Xhileration Sweatshirt via Target (old, similar, $39) & short sleeve version, $29) | H&M Jeans ($20 in-store) | ShoeDazzle ”Urge” Sneakers | ASOS Oversized Bowler | Necklace via AmericasMart | Lips: Certainly Red by Revlon
I bought this pair of bright orange “Urge” wedge sneakers from ShoeDazzle…it was love at first sight! And actually, ShoeDazzle did a great job with styling their models with these shoes if you’re looking for a little inspiration. (I think these are sold out now, but you can definitely get on the waitlist.) So, the key to styling these shoes is to play up the sporty appeal. Tuck those skinny jeans or leggings in (solid colors and prints are equally cool), and opt for a graphic print tee, an oversized sweater, or a casual jacket on top. They also look great with a nice pair of shorts – cutoffs work especially well. Love these casual looks on Alessandra Ambrosio, Keri Hilson, and Rosie Huntington!
Now, I’ve also seen some celebs rocking their wedge sneakers with flowy dresses, skirts, and other less-than-sporty ensembles. To be honest, I am not a fan of that look. I think it looks a bit awkward. But, you know me — I never say never. Someone could probably convince me otherwise.
Are you a fan of the wedge sneaker trend?
I love the way you pulled this together… I myself am not fond of wedge sneakers maybe because I am a true sneaker head, give me some dunks and I'll rock em them til the wheels fall off! But for those who do not wear sneakers at all I think this is a great alternative. Love the red ones on you!!
thats not true….a true sneaker head would embrace this style as this is a SNEAKER wedge…. if you love sneakers give it a try! it wont hurt, it wont look as good as a pair of jordans, but this just makes your sneakers a little more somthing, somthing! lol
Love the color and your outfit. I actually ONLY wear sneakers to workout and they are usually old ones from my son.
Who knew sneakers could look so chic? I'll definietely give this a try

Thanks, girl!
Lol, you are really loving these shoes!! I love the bright color.
I like the idea of wedge sneakers, but on other people. I haven’t worn sneakers in a non-athletic way in years and don’t know if I can pull it off or want to invest the money in this trend.

I've just jumped on the wedge sneaker train out of necessity (I dnt rly wear sneakers but I was in the carnival) & im still on the fence. Mine are off white/tan but I'm thinking of dyeing them (dark brown, burgundy or plum). This post is way too cute, you look like you're having a blast.

When it comes to wedge sneakers I'm definitely one of those admire from afar peoples. They look great on you but I just won't do it. Are they actually comfortable though? I like my sneakers comfy…

I've been loving the sneaker wedge for a longgggg time now. I wear them with a lot, even the dresses and stuff. Trust me it'll grow on you because I never thought I'd go there either.

Those jeans are hideous! Burn them! Total fashion crime
I think you just convinced me to try these… Love the outfit!
My recent post Gracias
You look amazing, I was sure yours were some high-end designer, I can't believe shoedazzle! Thanks for showing designer chic in an affordable option. You look adorable :
A question, are skinny jeans the only way to go? I need help, I want to get the nike ones which I love, but I have wide hips and do not do skinny jeans!
