No more tiis ganda thanks to these wedges!
The Filipino phrase “tiis ganda” applies to many things. However, when it comes to fashion, it probably applies most to high heels.
Heels can make legs look longer than they already are, temporarily increase your height by a few inches, and add an extra oomph to almost any outfit, but they can be rather of a pain to wear, especially on long nights out. If you’re not used to it, you risk losing your balance or tripping over your own feet maybe once or twice — it’s okay; it happens to the best of us.
If you want all the benefits of wearing high heels minus the possibility of hurting yourself or having a face-to-face meeting with the floor, we’ve got an alternative: wedges. They’re a lot more comfortable than heels but can still give you that added height you need to feel as confident and sexy as can be.
Here are some stylish and comfortable wedges that you can find on ZALORA with some tips on what you can wear with them.
Michael Kors Ripley Wedge Sandals
There are certain wedge sandals that make you think of sunny days, sandy beaches, and dresses that flow with the wind when you look at them. The Ripley Wedge Sandals from Michael Kors is one such example thanks to its braided sole and warm leather.
If you love that fresh, straight-from-vacation, or ready-for-Sunday-brunch vibe, then you’ll love these wedge sandals with maxi dresses and flowing skirts. However, if those don’t really fit your taste, you can also pair them with cuffed denim pants and any top you feel like wearing. They’re just that versatile.
CLN Vernal Wedge Sandals
Flip flops are undoubtedly some of the most comfortable footwear you’ll ever wear, but not everyone likes wearing them when they’re out and about. Not everyone will find them stylish enough to use for anything else that isn’t pambahay.
The CLN Wedge Sandals are like a hybrid between flip flops and wedges, which are great for use when you want your look to stay casual. They’re easy to pair with jeans and any tee or even a pair of shorts and a comfortable hoodie. Take them out when you’re running errands, doing groceries, going poolside — anywhere that calls for an ultra-comfortable ‘fit.
Tory Burch Claire Peep Toe Wedges
Dying to wear heels to important meetings or every day at the office but unwilling to experience the discomfort that they can bring? Wedges are perfect for these kinds of outfits as well.
Tory Burch’s Claire Peep Toe Wedges are a perfect example of office-ready wedges that can go well with corporate and smart casual attire. Whether you’re planning on wearing a pant-and-blazer combo or a knee-length skirt paired with a formal top, it will be easy to rock these peep-toe wedges with either outfit.
CLN Anika Wedge Sandals
Every woman needs an everyday shoe that goes with just about anything — the no-brainer that you can slip into when you’re rushing out of the house. These wedges from CLN are just that.
Whether you’re slipping into your favorite day dress, dressing down with a pair of shorts, going a little more smart-casual with some trousers, or meeting up for your next date, a pair of simple yet sleek strappy sandals will never go old.
Nose Platform Wedge Slides
We all love a good pair of slides. They’re easy to get into, trendy, and great for days where you don’t want to think too hard about what you’re going to wear for the day. Do you feel like staying in your sweatpants but need to head out? Slides. Packing for a trip to the beach? Slides. Sporting a casual athleisure look? Slides.
If one of these comfortable beauties has been on your wishlist for a while now, then you’ll love these wedge slides from Nose. Not only does its pastel color make rocking your casual looks cuter, but the added height — so much height — is sure to turn heads your way. Perfect for showing off in casual looks, these slides can take you from a cute brunch with your friends to a night out on the town with ease — sans the ache in your heels.
