There’s also nostalgia—both ’70s and 2010s in nature. However, brands, including Bottega Veneta, have given wedges a modern twist that feels appropriate for our time. Like any controversial trend experiencing a resurgence, this silhouette takes confidence and attitude to pull it off. Luckily, there are plenty of options to choose from. Shop below for the best to try this season.
