How to rock wedge sneakers in this wet weather

Wedge sneakers can be an intimidating look to pull off, but just about anyone can do it with a little effort.

The trick is bottoms should have a fitting appearance to balance out the bulk of the sneakers. At the same time the top you wear should complement the shoe by either highlighting contents of the shoes or a touch of the shoe color.

Remember, it is not necessary to match your shoes to a top or trouser because these days fashion is slowly getting rid of the mix and match theory and adopting a colour mix trend.

I’m sure some of you wonder if wedge sneakers can be worn with anything, including baggy jeans, or fitting dresses. Well I have done my research and based on fashion trends and a few interviews, here are the most ideal ways you can wear your wedge sneakers this rainy season.

Wear with Long Jeans

You should opt for a sleek pair of skinny jeans that hug your leg over classic styles like straight-leg or boot-cut. Create an even narrower line by tucking the jeans into the sneakers.

Throw on a pair of leggings

Like skinny jeans, leggings make the leg line look slimmer, which helps to balance out the large shoes on your feet. In some ways,

You could also try wearing shorter leggings with your wedge sneakers. Full-length leggings can be tucked into the sneaker, but 3/4 or 1/2 length leggings can make your leg look just as sleek and balanced.

Keep it short

Short capri pants, shorts, and short skirts are all fantastic options for wedge sneakers. These bottoms draw the eye upward, limiting the amount of weight on the bottom of your leg.

Since you have a lot of weight on your foot, keeping additional weight or emphasis off the bottom portion of your leg leads to a more balanced and well-put together look.

Try a maxi skirt or high-low skirt

These long flowing skirts are ultra feminine and create an interesting contrast when paired with sporty wedge sneakers. High-low skirts work especially well since they come up in the front enough to show off your legs, helping to reduce the amount of perceived bulk toward the bottom of your leg.

Since the wedge sneaker is such a statement piece on its own, it is generally considered prudent to avoid overwhelming your look with too much wild colors or pattern while wearing them. If you have a wedge sneaker in a plain color, like tan, brown, gray, or black, you can spice things up a bit with a funky red skinny jean or patterned legging. If you have bright neon wedge sneakers, however, you should stick with classic washes of denim and solid brown or black leggings.

 

I hope these tips are helpful especially for the weekend during this rainy weather. Enjoy your pair of jeans now and still maintain that classy look.
