You agree, sneakers are comfortable, but not always very feminine… as for wedges, they are feminine, but not comfortable. So, to satisfy everyone, the manufacturers have thought of a compensated basketball .
You know the expression "to be good in your sneakers"? With the wedge trainer, the expression takes on its full meaning. Indeed, wearing wedge sneakers means remaining feminine without neglecting comfort.
In addition, the latter is available in all styles, all colors and all materials and even in a luxury version such as the Isabel Marant wedge trainer. You have what to do to create any style. However, as elegant and comfortable as it is, this sneaker is not unanimous. And for good reason, some do not find it feminine enough and even completely outdated. But luckily for you, it is quite possible to wear the wedge trainer without missteps!
Slightly different from other wedges, wedge sneakers have a sportswear side which should be kept in mind. Therefore, it is important to play on this offset and not on a completely sporty style. To do this, pair them with slim or skinny jeans, with a fitted jacket or a trench coat. Underneath, wear a fine silk or flannel shirt, in order to keep the spirit of casual fashion .
To maintain the harmony of your look, choose platform sneakers in neutral colors :black, white, navy blue, gray or taupe. To go out in the evening, you can choose more chic patent or leather shoes. Feel free to play with black and white with skinny white pants, a long black coat and a black handbag with a gold chain.
In order to avoid the fashion faux pas, the codes of streetwear fashion must be modified and very feminine pieces must be used. So you can take your timeless skinny jeans out of your wardrobe, but this time pair them with printed sweatshirts (graphic patterns, animal heads, minimalist inscriptions). Leggings and skirts can also be paired with loose tops:XXL T-shirts or cotton sweaters.
For winter, put on your high-heeled sneakers, take out your sweater dress and woolen tights to stay warm. The idea is to divert the dress code and show your femininity. You can also use an oversized bag or a small clutch to complete your look for going out with your friends in the evening.
If you want to be a little more daring, let yourself be seduced by the eclectic style . But again, pay attention to the dosage of styling. If you let go on the bottom, you will have to opt for a more sober top and vice versa.
Whether in fabric, with Velcro or laces, wedge sneakers come in all shapes and sizes. You can even opt for colorful or even pink shoes or shoes with original prints! If your sneakers are bulky, you can harmonize your silhouette with a piece that also adds a little volume. For example, a flared skirt or an A-line skirt .
And for those who are not afraid, mix sober wedge sneakers with more daring clothes. Take out of your wardrobe these electric blue leggings that have never seen the sun! Or decorate your clothes with chunky jewelry and gold belts.
For the rock spirit, pair your shoes with ripped jeans, a biker jacket, or a denim jacket with burgundy lipstick and wavy hair.
Are you really scared of fashion faux pas, but still want to wear wedge sneakers? The best alternative is platform sneakers. It is a kind of distant cousin, but which also combines femininity and comfort. The difference is that it offers a more modern look that is easier to wear on a daily basis.
