How To: Wear Black Sneakers

There have been oh so many detractors from the wedge sneaker--and admittedly I've never embraced them--but I realize now that they do look decent but only when worn in a certain way, and the black version is doubly difficult to pull of. Worn here against a bare leg, with a thigh-grazing skirt works really well. The rest of the look is really tailored and sweet and the dark sneaker somehow works against the rest. If the hem were any longer, or the colors any different, it probably wouldn't, but keep it simple and neat and those black shoes may have life yet.
