Sometimes when I hear someone ask to look at ladies dress shoes it conjures up an idea of a very boring and sensible dress shoe that ladies used to wear to Sunday church or to a conservative orthodox wedding ceremony or perhaps a funeral. I think of black leather, a sensible heel, maybe a pump, but nothing anyone would look twice at. And yet, that’s not what getting dressed up is all about these days.
Versatile Feminine Ladies Wedge Shoes By Alexander Wang
Ladies dress shoes these days are about being feminine; being able to go from an office meeting to a lounge for drinks and be fabulously attired in the appropriate, and fashionable, footwear that has nothing to do with black, churches, weddings or funerals. In fact, some of the dressiest women’s shoes are those in soft colors, with straps, sexy metallic accents and often high heels that are even a little sexy. The recent collections of ladies wedge shoes that can be worn both at the office and out to a party are the ones like the Alexander Wang designs.
Eliza Wedge Sandal
For example the Alexander Wang Eliza sandal with a cut out wedge heel is classy and tasteful for a garden wedding or for a summer day at the office. It’s also appropriate for going to church, you can even wear a hat, or for dancing to whatever beat moves you when you’re out with friends on a Saturday night.
Let’s take a closer look at why the Alexander Wang ladies wedge shoes and sandals are so versatile. Take the Eliza: a soft mink colored suede (mink is somewhat like a dark beige); it’s a mule design which makes it somewhat casual and yet becomes more formal due to the wide band of suede that supports the entire foot from the ankle to above the instep. It’s a wedge design, but slender, not a massive retro platform style, instead chic and classic. And at the base of the heel is a little touch of elegant silver-tone metal, just a touch to add a little detail, nothing too gaudy. The heel is high enough to get noticed being just over 4 inches, but because it’s a wedge it looks lower and is easy to walk in.
