Wedges are fun, and when warm weather hits, they become nearly irresistible. Even women who don't normally wear heels can opt for a bit more height when the heel is a wedge.

Check out these top picks in women's wedge shoes for some of the hottest wedges of the season.

1. "Cerona" Wedges - Wedge Shoes from Steve Madden

Available in six different colors and prints, these espadrille-styled wedges have sling-back straps, platform soles and raffia-covered heels. But more importantly, they're a whole lot of fun. Perfect for all your casual outfits, these sandals feature a knotted vamp, and a look that is one hundred percent feminine.

2. Fraco Sarto "Tempest" - Chic and Strappy Wedge Sandals

Black patent uppers, lots of straps and 3.25" wedge heels with a cut-out center make these chic sling-backs the perfect choice for this season -- plus, they're versatile enough to pair with nearly anything in your warm-weather wardrobe. Jeans, skirts, dresses, shorts, even cropped pants will be at home with these sexy sandals.

3. Nine West "Viscose" - Colorful Espadrille Wedges

Colorful, sexy and fun, these sling-backs effortlessly merge the casual cosmopolitan nature of an espadrille with the dressier look of a satin sandal, and the result is awesome. Ready to be dressed up or down, these wedges feature 3.5" heels and come in a rainbow of colors.

4. Franco Sarto "Joey" - Dress Slingback Wedges

Stunning and chic, these dress wedges come with glossy white, black or mirror patent uppers, and feature a curved square embellishment on their open-toed vamp. The 3.5" heel is wrapped in matching patent, giving these shoes an extra bit of polish. I'd love to see shade of any of these paired with a pair of gauzy pants, or warm-weather evening suit.

5. Franco Sarto "Nili" - Metallic Wedges

Thanks to metallic uppers, platform soles and 4" heels, these wedges are hot. The surprising part is, according the the reviews around the web, they're more comfortable than they look. Also available in black, they come in old gold, and look especially nice in pewter.

6. Elie Tahari "Bianca Wedge"

I especially love the all black version of these modern wedges, but the cumin yellow version will certainly make heads turn as well. With textile uppers and criss-cross elastic straps, the heels on these artsy shoes is 4.5 inches.

7. AK Anne Klein "Blush" - Versatile Wedges

These wedges are easy to wear in more ways than one. Given that the heels are only 3 inches (and by nature of being wedges), they're more wearable than others, but they also come in a wide array of colors ranging from bright pink to basic black. And finally, the classic sling-back style can be worn with nearly anything you own.
