Gladiator shoes are hot again this year, and they don't get much hotter than these ultra-strappy wedges from Report. The 3.25" wooden heels give them a real casual feel, while the black patent uppers give them plenty of pop.

My favorite part of these gladiator shoes is the triple ankle straps, but styles like these will also make your calves look shorter and heavier. If this is a problem for you, you can minimize that effect by pairing them with a shorter skirt or dress. (Buy Direct)
