Over 50 Fashion: Chunky Sandals Day And Night

Combine a great summer trend with a summer favorite. The chunky sandal and summer dress combination is a duo that you won’t want to be caught dead without. Not only will you feel comfortable in the thick soled shoes, the gorgeous dresses will allow you to show a little skin during the hottest time of the year. 

Good thing brands like Steve Madden and Reformation are making it so easy to throw together beautiful pairings that will make you the envy of all your friends when you go out. 

For a shorter look that can be converted from day to night, try the Steve Madden Brandi Platform Wedge Sandal and the Bobeau Pleat Front Curved Hem Shirtdress. The sweetly split neck and the shirttail hemline creates the perfect v neck. The army green color will look great with the versatile beige of the shoes.

For days that are too hot, but you still want to look put together, the Billabong Little Flirt Print Midi Dress will be the perfect solution. The woven, long line, shirt dress vented with high side slits will keep you cool. It’ll go perfectly with the Steve Madden Brandi Platform Wedge Sandal. The chunky platform will still be comfortable after walking around all day during the summer. 

Be simply elegant in the Reformation Rou Midi Fit Flare Dress and the Toms Majorca Sandal. Not only do both of these companies give back to the environment and the world, they make a beautiful pairing that will look beautiful and be comfortable. The tight fitting bodice that swings to a finish will float right above the canvas stripes and stacked heel. 

Feel sexy and chic in the Marc Fisher Ltd Alida Espadrille Platform Wedge and Reformation Winslow Maxi Dress combination. The dramatic dress with chiffon, wrapped skirt and v neck will allow you to show off your beautiful, over fifty legs that you’ve been hiding away all winter. The espadrille will give you a lift to elongate your legs, while still keeping you stable and comfortable with its suede ankle strap.

Try a look that will look great when you’re at the beach and at brunch. The Reformation Floral Wellfleet Back Cutout Dress pairs beautifully with the Sarto By Franco Oak Platform Wedge Espadrille. The delicate flowers in the dress bring out the subtle red in the strappy espadrilles. The airy short sleeve dress hugs your figure in the most casual way so that you can show off your curves at any moment. 

For a bold, yet simple look, try the Reformation Napa Wrap Midi Dress with the Earth Capricorn Wedge Sandal. The bright red color of the dress is enhanced by the light polka dots. The perforated shoes add a new kind of flare to a stoical chunky shoe. The wrapping one strap that cuts right across your foot makes for an elegant slip on shoe that will last you all season. 

For a look that will keep you cool, try the Reformation Hyla Midi Dress with the Dansko Veruca Sandal. The ruffled, sleeveless dress cut from a breezy linen fabric and adorned with delicate stripes will be the perfect addition to your summer evening wardrobe. The sensible, strappy shoes in a deep brown will look great with this dress, or with your favorite shirt and skirt combo.
