5 jeans and wedge sandal outfit ideas to take summer's trending shoe into autumn
I know what you're thinking: espadrille wedges? The chunky, woven and traditional ones that the Housewives would reach for in the early Noughties? Well, while we still love that iteration (Hello Chloé, we're looking at you), we've learned to embrace the slicker, and perhaps more contemporary versions seen across both the runway and the high-street.
If you're pining for the best way to nail the effortless 'I just threw this on' look, then we've definitely got you covered. While trousers are also a dreamy pairing, jeans just give you that laid-back and chill level of je nais se quois that would be perfect for your next gal's night, a first date, and even that random brunch you have coming up... We could go on. Whether you're reaching for a classic straight-leg, an oversized cargo, or a wide-leg flare, we've gathered the best combos for you to try below. Happy shopping!
Calling all cool girls — make like our ultimate style inspo Pernille Teisbeck and opt for oversized cargo jeans (literally adding to basket as we type!) paired with a monochromatic cardi and wedge combo.
Channel SJP energy with a voluminous puff blouse and turn-up jeans. Add a modern edge with sporty sunglasses and sleek wedges that will beckon compliments all day long.
A boho Y2K mash-up that we're so here for, reach for biker jackets and flares. Pair with a dainty bralette or crop top for main character energy.
Fellow Lizzie McGuire fans, this ones for you! Optimise those essential Y2K vibes by teaming a ruffle mini dress (bonus points for a skinny scarf) with a light wash pair of straight-legs for a look that will entice Paolo (Read: Gordo). We love how this wearer has worn odd shoes, with one wedge and one platform sandal. Anything goes!
A denim bustier can do no wrong in our eyes. Style with matching wide-leg jeans and your fave paired-back wedge for your new go-to fit.
