It’s Official—Chloé’s Wedges are the Anti-Flat Shoe Trend of the Summer

As we stand on the cusp of summer, my mind is already racing with outfit ideas for the season ahead. Styling in the warmer months always feels easier, freer, lighter and more aligned with my less-is-more style philosophy. Without the layering and logistics of cold-weather dressing, I rely on a few standout pieces to lead the charge, allowing the rest of my look to fall effortlessly into place. This year, Chloé’s viral cork wedge is offering just that.

A sky-high wedge with a towering platform, this shoe offers impact and comfort in equal measure. Its commanding silhouette lengthens the leg without sacrificing stability, making it the kind of statement piece you can wear all day. Spotted across multiple Chloé collections, the spring/summer 2025 iteration adds a romantic twist, featuring sweet, scrawled love notes emblazoned across the cork platform, lending a whimsical edge to the bohemian-inspired design.

Under Chemena Kamali’s creative direction, Chloé is embracing a softer, more romantic aesthetic. Think frills, lace and breezy silhouettes—pieces made for movement and mood. The wedge, with its playful energy and poetic flair, fits right in. It’s a clear shift from the sleek, quiet minimalism that has defined recent seasons, where once we reached for refined ballet flats and pointed heels, now we want pieces with personality. Chloé’s wedge is just that—bold, nostalgic and joyfully unrestrained.

Already spotted on the likes of Sienna Miller, Georgia May Jagger over the past few seasons, and Amanda Seyfried just this week, the shoe is quickly becoming a celebrity favourite—and the internet is following suit. Google searches for Chloé wedges are surging, meaning that it’s only a matter of time until the shoe trend earns true cult status.

Available in black and brown leather styles and playful PVC finishes in tan and bubblegum pink, this shoe trend promises easy summer styling. Pair with a lace skirt for a Chloé-approved take on styling, otherwise wear with relaxed jeans or cut-off shorts for a relaxed approach.
