When Salvatore Ferragamo first designed the spicy and sky-high wedge heel, a perennial heel classic was born.

Paired with gowns and dresses by old Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe and Portuguese-born samba singer Carmen Miranda, this sexy and stacked platform shoe is not just a comfortable high-heel option, but is also perfect spring and summer accessory.

For the shoe lover building a high-heel wardrobe, add a festive, fabulous and wonderful wedge heel to your current shoe collection.

Here’s how:

1.  Switch out a pair of your flip-flops or ballerina flats with a chic and sexy pair of wedges.

Need a new casual shoe option? Remember this fashion trick: The heavier or fatter the shoe’s heel, the more casual and dressed down it is. That’s why your wedge heels are perfectly matched with flirty and fashionable summer dresses — especially maxis and  strapless minis.

2. Rock your wedge shoes with high-waisted and skinny jeans.

Whether you love low-slung denim or wide-legged flares, you can wear your wedge heels with a classic pair of designer denim. In fact, to wear your white¸ navy or light-colored jeans well, select a pair of red, orange or even purple bcbg shoes that’ll match both your sense of style and favorite denim brand perfectly.

3. Wear your sassy and short capri pants with a classic wedge shoe.

What shoes should you wear with Capri pants are a classic fashion dilemma. Solve this common footwear problem with a simple pair of strappy or slip-on wedges  To add flair to cropped khakis or floral capris, slide into a gorgeous pair of sexy and colorful spring and summer bcbg wedges.

4. Pair your wedge shoes with daisy dukes or Bermuda shorts.

Can you wearteeny­tiny short-shorts? Of course you can with a simple pair of wedge shoes. To avoid the street walker look, pair your shorts of all lengths with wedge shoes instead of stilettos.

And if you are a pretty petite looking to extend your leg and height, wear nude-toned, or flesh-toned wedge heels. This sole mate will give you the appearance of a supermodel while simultaneously lengthening the leg.
