1. How to Wear Wedge Sneakers: With Fitted Pants

This super trendy shoe looks great with a pair of skin-fitting leather tights or skinny jeans, with cuffs tucked inside the shoe.
2. Layered on Top.
In order to balance the sturdiness of sneaker wedges, do layering on your top. The fitted pants will serve as a good transition.
3. How to Wear Wedge Sneakers: Opt for Long Hems

Be it a mint green maxi skirt or a hi-low dress, long hems will smoothly tone down the trendiness and volume of your shoes.
4. The Preferred Mini Dress.

For warm days when fitting tights and pants are just too warm, bare those legs and go for a cute mini dress instead. You´ll look as good as Kate Bosworth.
4. How to Wear Wedge Sneakers: The Shorts
Another way to go short on the hems is by wearing short shorts with wedge sneakers. More skin balances more the shoe.
5. Fitted Printed Pants
Celebrities haven´t tried this yet but wedge sneakers do look great with printed fitted tights or pants. The key here is matching the color of your sneakers to at least one color from your print. Avoid clashing prints though, it would be too much. So make sure to opt for one solid color for your top.
6. How to Wear Wedge Sneakers: Choose One Standout Bright Color

7. Accent the Wedge Sneakers with a Denim

I did not even know wedged sneakers existed =/ I don’t know about this trend, looks great on models and fashionistas but I would be too scared to try them.
I had pre-ordered a pair of Diversity Wedge sneakers from Bakers. When I got them and put them on they were cuuuuuute!!!!! it’s worth a try, even if u don’t THINK they will look good. Just go to the store and try them on!!!! I am so happy with the quality of the Diversity wedge because they were so cheap!!!! ;p
I would definitely wear them! I love these! Kate Bosworth is such an inspiration!
Can anyone tell me where to find the ones that are in the picture of the outfit inspirations from JustFab. I am looking for both the blue pair and the silver can’t find them anywhere, and i’m dying to get them for my sweet 16 in a month!

I’m also thinking of buying a pair of wedge sneakers for myself as a birthday present but i doubt they’ll look good on me. i’m really skinny and i’m afraid if i wear those i’ll look even skinnier. haha. i’d love to have one though. sigh. 🙁
