By alternating dashes of tone and texture, summer’s new crop of footwear takes colour-blocking, ahem…one step further.

As if reptile print isn’t sophisticated enough, this glossy two-toned wedge by David Dixon flashes just the right amount of gold. Available at Town Shoes, its cork wedge would look party-perfect with summer dresses long and short.

Kick it up a notch. This platform wedge by Steve Madden pairs lipstick-red blocks of colour with woven textiles for a double dose of playfulness.

Like a window to your sole, these wedges by Roberto Vianni are very of-the-moment with see-through straps and espadrille accents.

We can’t wait to see where they take you!
