How Dressy are Wedge Heels

(413 Words)
Wedge heels are shoes that do not have a gap in the heel. The heel is under the entirety of the foot, gaining in height as it goes from the toes to the back of the foot. There are many different types of wedge heels. On a whole, they are not considered a dressy shoe; however, some are far dressier than others.
Wedge heels provide a chunky look. Because the heel is so big, it is difficult to find one that provides an elegant look. You may have trouble finding one that looks truly great with a very fancy dress, such as a prom dress or a black tie dress that you would wear to a special occasion. They are very noticeable and may take away from a dress rather than adding a beautiful accompaniment.
Some wedge heels are far fancier than others and might work for a slightly fancy event. For instance, they may have embellishments on them such as Swarovski crystals. These could be on the top or even in the sides of the wedge. Some might be thinner or have the wedges come in a little so that they do not appear quite as chunky. They may have flowers or other pretty embellishments.
Wedge heels are very trendy shoes. They can go well if you want to look nice, but are not exactly in anything formal. For instance, if you are going out to a nice dinner and are wearing something a little nicer than simple jeans such as a sundress, then they can be suitable.
Wedge heels do have some advantages. They can make you taller and add a lot of height. Because the heels run the entire length of the shoe, they are generally much easier to walk on than a traditional high heel in which you have to balance on a tiny heel. Still, they are not like flats and you will probably not be exercising in them.
Wedge heels look modern and can be paired with different types and sizes of dresses and skirts. They can add a lot of style to a simple dress. The can also help the ankles appear thinner. Those with heavy ankles will appreciate that, although those with skinny ankles might not like the effect.
If you are looking for a very dressy look, then wedge heels might not be the right move for you. Look at the different options at your local shoe stores to find the more formal options.
