Thinking about wedge sandals—which are characterised by their wedge heels—automatically takes us back to the 2000s. Back then, divas like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan made them their personal trademark. Over time, they also became Mom’s go-to pair; whether they evoke the Y2K era or more classic wardrobes depends on the style of the sandals and the outfits they’re paired with. And they’re making a comeback from the past to show off their best side.
Brands like Saint Laurent, Ferragamo, and Givenchy have taken it upon themselves to reinvent wedge sandals. Among the Spring-Summer 2026 fashion trends, two signature pieces of the season— skirts and dresses—have become the ideal apaprel for creating attractive outfits combinations with the wedge heels without much fuss. With that in mind here are wedge sandals to wear with skirts and dresses in 2026.

The trending sandals for SS26 have already set the tone: the wedge heel—or continuous heel—from the 2000s is back, and there won’t be a day when you won’t want to wear them with your favorite seasonal staples. Whether from French or Spanish brands, don’t hesitate to add a black pair to your collection—it guarantees versatility and timeless appeal; their continuous platform and thin straps are all you need to transform simple looks with monochrome miniskirts and relaxed tops.
