Based on reader comments/questions/etc., most of you are generally thrilled that flare jeans are having a moment. The biggest complaint, however, is footwear. We’re all kinda partial to flats (sneakers, in particular), and while I’ve tried to address the flares + flats combo in the past, there’s no doubt that heels and flares are a match made in sartorial heaven.
So. What would you say, dear readers, if I told you that I’ve found a pair of wedge boots that are as comfortable as my sneakers? Like really, seriously comfortable – Scotti babywears in hers – while being high enough to rock the flare? And that they’re both waterproof and warm?
Bold words, I KNOW.
This isn’t the first time we’ve mentioned these magical Sorel wedges on The Mom Edit before, but they’re so good (SO. GOOD.) I felt that a public service announcement was in order:
Sorel has create magic wedge boots to change your winter flare-wearing game forever. They will spoil you for all other wedges to come.
Outfit Details
Coat: DKNY
Sweater: Joe Fresh cashmere sweater (on crazy sale for $40) or this similar cashmere from LLBean
Blouse: Tuxe Bodywear The Coach (size S)
Jeans: JBrand Lovestory Flares (70% off) also available here on major sale. I’m also seriously digging the wash on this similar pair of flared Joe’s Jeans.
Boots: Sorel 1964 Premium Wedge Boots (or Sorel’s Joan of Arctic Wedges if you’d rather a single color – they’re basically the same)
Accessories: Bag, similar gloves (40% off), lipstick (shade: rosewood)
Lest you think these boots aren’t cute enough to shine on their own….
….I especially love them with boyfriend jeans. (Or ‘girlfriend jeans’. Tomato tomahto.)
Outfit Details
Coat: Similar Iro leather jacket – Iro really makes the best leather jackets, but they’re crazy expensive. When I was searching last year, I was reasonably impressed with Madewell’s leather jacket and the leather jackets from All Saints. I especially like the look of this one.
Sweater: Boden Relaxed V Cashmere Sweater (size 2, mushroom melange)
Jeans: Rag and Bone Dre (33% off – mine are an older wash, I linked to the newer one…but order down one size – they run big)
Boots: Sorel 1964 Premium Wedge Boots (or Sorel’s Joan of Arctic Wedges if you’d rather a single color – they’re basically the same)
Accessories: Prada sunnies, Rebecca Minkoff Fringe Julian Backpack, Pyrrha Necklace
Stroller: Quinny Yezz (c/o Quinny and I freaking LOVE it. Super light, folds like a dream, and handles public transport like a champ.)
The exact colorway of my Sorel wedges is long gone, but I might actually like the black/bluff combo even better. In any case, these are amazing wedges. Shockingly high, given the comfort, yet they feel like a very low heel. I have a pair, Scotti has a pair, my nanny Gwen has a pair….and we all wear them to the park/babywearing/running around with the kiddos. They’re even good for all-day walking.
Anyone else have a pair? Do you love them as much as we do?
