This weekend’s fantastic weather had ladies everywhere tossing their winter duds into storage bins, I’m sure.  Make way, you stuffy old sweaters.  Get outta the closet, parkas and pea coats.  It’s time for sundresses, sandals, and super hip shades.  Finally!  Now that the summer’s here, take advantage of it by grabbing a pair of the best shoes for summer soirees:  wedge sandals.

Why are wedge sandals especially perfect for BBQ-style shindigs?  First, they’re adorable, so you’ll definitely make an impression on that rugged-looking young doctor next to you at the cooler.  But smashingly-cute shoes are prerequisites for Shoeflyer readers, so I’ll add that wedge sandals are comfortable as well. Unlike pumps, wedges will allow you to cavort whenever the whim strikes. (The urge to cavort has been shown to be directly correlated to sunshine, so be prepared.)

You can make wedge sandals work for your body by keeping in mind our Shoeflyer posts on tips for sexy summer calves and making gladiator sandals work for you.  Once you know which styles will best compliment your body, head on over to our selection of sandals. My favorite sandal wedges are by Biviel.  The BV1907, shown at top, offers a higher wedge with extra cushioning.  I also love the BV1996 (right) for its bright green color and unusual T-strap. An enchanting vision of summer BBQ bliss floats to mind when I imagine strapping on these beauties. What’s your vision of summer bliss?  Let summer wedge sandals lead you there.
