Charlotte Olympia Miranda Leopard Wedge Sandals, $895 via Bergdorf Goodman.

I’ve never been one to encourage anyone to wear high heels with a bikini (you look like you’re trying too hard, my dears), but when cultivating a look of beachside fabulousness, it is important to have a pair of killer shoes ready for the after party. Now that I’ve seen the Charlotte Olympia Miranda Leopard Linen Wedge Sandals, absolutely nothing less will do. By mixing linen and leopard, they strike the perfect balance between seasonal and glamorous.

I’m glad that Charlotte Olympia went for a stark white background on these shoes instead of a more traditional leopard because the light color heightens the sense of seasonality that makes this particular design special. The mustard yellow trim is the perfect touch of contrast without distracting from or competing with the bold pattern, and because the wedge is so high and substantial, the shoe makes a very bold visual impact. I wouldn’t recommend wearing this particular design while walking on sand or grass, but if you happen to be attending a party on a pool deck or patio, go right ahead. You have my blessing. Buy through Bergdorf Goodman for $895.
