20 Cute Outfits Featuring Wedges for Summer 2024

Summer’s here, and that means it’s time to set your toes free. Sandals and flip-flops are summer go-tos, but wedges hold a special place in my heart.

Wedges have remained a staple in the fashion world since the 1930s, and we see no signs of them leaving the hot-girl summer wardrobe any time soon.

Wedges add height and style without sacrificing comfort, and they work wonders to elongate and accentuate those summer-ready legs. (Forget leg day at the gym; just buy a cute pair of wedges instead!)

For summer 2024, incorporating wedges in an easy way to spruce up your favorite outfits. Keep reading for 2024 summer outfit inspiration with your favorite pair of wedges!

Wedges + floral dress

Wedges and floral dresses are as timeless a duo as wine and cheese. Wedges make your legs look long and toned, so they're the perfect addition to a mini or midi sundress.

When in doubt, you can't go wrong with a pair of high-quality nude wedges. Neutral wedges are the perfect complement and backdrop to colorful, bold floral dresses.

If you’re wearing a neutral sundress, consider a daring wedge to add a pop of color. I love a fun statement shoe, especially in the warm-weather months.

Unique, fun details will also make a statement. These tie-up wedges draw attention to the ankle for a lengthening effect while the mesh detail adds a layer of visual intrigue. 

Ankle strap + high-waisted shorts

For a casual summer look, pair ankle strap wedges with high-waisted shorts. The high-waisted shorts accentuate the waist, and the ankle strap lengthens the leg, creating a stunning silhouette that looks gorgeous on most body types.

This outfit is versatile, too. Add a cute blouse for work or a crop top for a day out with friends. 

Ankle strap wedges and denim jeans are a match made in heaven. While still casual and effortless, it's a stylish step up from flip-flops or flats. I love how these woven shoes match her purse, and the monochrome shades of blue tie it all together seamlessly.

Paper bag shorts are a summer go-to every year, and they look particularly put-together with the right pair of strappy wedges. The bow on the shorts adds a feminine touch, while the wedges lengthen the legs for a stunning profile that'll make you feel confident every time you throw it on.

Wedges with jeans

Shorts are an obvious option for warm weather, but jeans don’t have to stay hidden in your winter wardrobe. Denim can be a great year-round option when styled with a breezy blouse and cute wedges.

Wedges, cropped-leg jeans, and your favorite summer top come together for a flirty, feminine outfit that’s easy to throw together and works for any casual summer activity.

Add a blazer for a chic, sophisticated vibe that easily transitions from the office to happy hour to date night!

Wedges shine bright with slim-fitting or cropped jeans, but don’t be afraid to play around with a flare cut. These flared jeans have a peep-toe effect with the wedges, creating a groovy yet modern vibe.

Espadrilles + maxi dress 

Espadrille wedges are a classic summer shoe that match any warm-weather outfit. You'll never go wrong with espadrilles and a maxi dress for a boho-chic look - comfortable, breezy, and feminine.

The primary feature of espadrille wedges is the rope or braided jute around the sole and heel. This gives it an inherently beachy vibe that's perfect for vacation (or pretending you’re on vacation).

Create a cohesive look by pairing espadrille wedges with other rope-based or boho accessories, like a straw hat, jute bag, and oversized sunglasses. 

Lace-up wedges that climb up the calf are particularly trendy for summer 2024. I love how these lace-up shoes fill the “space” between the dress hemline and the shoe while still showing a little skin. The matching purse pulls this whole look together – and this whole outfit uses only four basic pieces!  

Colorful wedges + neutral dress

Neutral white, beige, or navy dresses are a versatile, refined canvas that let your shoes do the talking. Colorful wedges add a gorgeous pop of color and personality for summer.

I particularly love that you can transform traditionally "wintery" colors like  black and blue into a summer look by adding a vibrant pair of wedges, like these coral-orange ones. 

Look how easily these coral wedges and woven purse make this "wintery" black and white outfit so summery. Don't hide your winter clothes - add the right shoes and accessories to repurpose them through the summer! 

Instead of a color, try pattern wedges instead! Animal prints are naturally neutral, so you can maintain a clean color palette while adding a touch of flair. These cheetah print wedges are "neutral" enough to match any outfit, but their pattern adds great visual interest.
