26. The Wedge Sandal — Like the denim jacket or the white tank, your new wedges are sure to become your springtime mainstay. All we can say is that when choosing a pair, push a bit beyond your comfort zone and try some color or texture in lieu of a really classic shade or style. The point this spring — okay, every spring! — is to take some risks and be a bit more daring. And that usually starts with your shoes.
