Wedge clogs - spectacular platform model
In hot summer time, along with graceful sandals and shoes with an open toe, many women of fashion prefer wedge clogs. Such footwear visually slims the figure, wears well and gives the woman a feeling of comfort.
What?
The sole of the clog is a solid piece of wood, although there are some rubber models. The upper part of such products is connected to the base by metal rivets. The toe of a clog is usually open, although there are also closed options. The backdrop is necessarily open.
It must be said that these shoes appeared a long time ago. Initially, it was worn by the poor from Greece, then by workers from other European countries. The predecessors of modern clogs were French and Dutch wooden closed shoes. You can imagine what this is about if you remember the tale of Cinderella or Snow White. Each pair was hand-carved by artisans. Since there was no shortage of wooden raw materials at that time, shoes (a prototype of modern clogs) were available to everyone. To soften the stiffness, straw was pushed inside the shoe and thick socks were put on.
In the 19th century, sabot models became much more feminine, workers went to dance in them. In the 20th century, fashion designers came up with wedge shoes with a heel (stiletto heel and a more stable version), and the top of the clog began to be made of soft texture material.
In the 70s, the real subomania begins, which originated thanks to hippies. Other wealthy women of fashion had more than a dozen different models in stock. And to this day, these comfortable shoes do not leave fashion catwalks.
Types and models
A wide range of clogs on the shelves of shoe stores will not disappoint even the most fastidious fashionista. Models with an open toe look beautiful, decorated with straps, locks and bows, giving the female image a special charm. The decor of leather, textile or denim flowers is also popular, and this detail may not coincide in texture with the material of the top.
Quite popular are clogs with high wedges, especially those with a contrasting color. Such models usually have rich bright or printed colors.
The most feminine option, emphasizing the slimness of women's legs, is a wedge clog that turns into a high heel.
The toe of a clog is most often open, but you can always find a suitable option with a closed top - such a model made of leather can even be worn in the office in the absence of a strict dress code.
Note that along with casual and more elegant models, there are beach clogs and homemade ones that are useful for work, for example, in the country. These options are made of rubber, are a single upper and outsole. Some models with a velor or denim top are worn by many women of fashion at home as an alternative to the usual slippers.
Material
Modern clogs are produced from a wide variety of materials. The skin is always up-to-date. Such models look elegant and, moreover, they do not sweat on the leg.
Today, the trend is denim wedge clogs. This natural fabric, as if created especially for hot weather, provides the feet with the utmost lightness and comfort. But, unfortunately, such models quickly lose their presentable appearance.
On vacation, the most appropriate will be wooden shoes or cork wedges. Such a platform is practically weightless and will prevent your leg from forming corns and calluses. But keep in mind that a cheap cork is easily deformed, and a poor-quality block can dry out and fall off.
Colour
If we consider the color scheme, then in the classic version the clogs are presented in black and brown. However, in the summer collections you can find a whole palette of juicy shades - bright orange, delicate pink and blue, rich fuchsia. As always, white and flesh colors remain universal, which go well with any outfit.
Many fashionistas will surely pay attention to models from a combination of colors, as well as decorated with striped prints, small polka dots. The wedge heels on them are usually draped with fabric, also with a pattern.
Who are they going to?
Clogs cannot be called the most elegant shoes, they are quite massive and for this reason they will not look harmonious on slender girls with thin legs. It is better for such young ladies to prefer neat sandals and sandals. Large ladies should also wear them with caution - do not choose too bright colors and a wedge heel of mind-boggling height. The optimal solution is a midsole and a calm color.
Beauties with impeccable forms, choosing these shoes, acquire the desired high growth and even more ideal proportions of the figure.
However, remember that the clogs do not resemble "hooves", select them strictly in size so that the heel does not hang down behind.
What to wear with?
Practical wedge clogs are combined with many things of different styles. So, they will make a wonderful duet with denim overalls, and it can be with trousers or shorts. The chiffon model will look wonderful with white shoes on a dark wooden platform.
The option on a high wedge heel will complement a seductive bustier dress or a feminine floor-length sundress. Moreover, along with the print, it is advisable to select monochromatic shoes.
Wonderful tandem - wedge clogs and short denim shorts with pockets. Although Bermuda shorts in this case will also look good.
Summer pleated skirts paired with a fitted top also look great with clogs.
Note that clogs are created for naked female legs - you should not wear them on stockings and tights.
Stylish looks
Stylish wedge clogs that turn into a high, stable heel in a strong coffee shade accentuate tanned skin and make the silhouette slimmer. Metal rivets serve as an original decor. The color of the shoes matches the yellow-brown color of the sundress, while the texture corresponds to a fashionable bag with a long fringe. A short denim vest is appropriate in this ensemble. This catchy everyday look is completed with large jewelry, which is just appropriate in the summer.
