Vogue has curated a list of beach-friendly wedding guest shoes, emphasizing alternatives to stilettos that sink in sand. The guide features sophisticated sandals, wedges, block heels, and ballet flats from brands like Staud, Le Monde Beryl, Aeyde, Chloe, Bottega Veneta, Prada, Alaïa, Amanu, Larroude, Madewell, Loeffler Randall, and Christopher Esber. Styles include metallic details, vivid colors, and unexpected materials such as plexi-wedge and macrame weaving. The article highlights that strappy sandals with metallic hardware can be as formal as stilettos, while wedges offer stability in vivid colors like lime green and poppy red.
