This sporty sailor style by Tory Burch is really starting to grow on me. At first sight, these espadrille wedges seem to be simple but on the contrary they are anything but mundane. The two-tone colors – navy and white – create a distinct color palette and are very versatile. I love how both Kristen Bell and Megan Fox paired them with blue denim, really drawing attention to the wedge. There are infinite wardrobe possibilities, and any look can be easily achieved. From polished ladylike wear to boho chic, I think we can all agree that these are magnificent. And though they may be sold out, we have several almost identical matches below!

MIA “Renegade” Wedge Sandals

MIA does a nice job mimicking the wedges above; seemingly with every detail in place. Priced at $59.95, one can truly immerse in luxury without having to stray from the budget, and searching for a sold out shoe. If you are in search of an exact Tory Burch look-a-like, then these “Renegade” wedges may just be the ultimate find.

Tommy Hilfiger “Venice” Espadrille Wedges

Adding to the mix, are these Tommy Hilfiger “Venice” Espadrille Wedges. Though the two-tone concept is incorporated, the colors are out of order with emphasize on the white strip. Also, these wedges are available in blue with green for a more colorful and vibrant look. The sporty sailor style is still evident in both color versions, but I think that the blue with green has more of a casual appearance. Regardless of your preference, these are definitely up to par with the real deal and are quite affordable, too!

I am absolutely obsessed with these patent leather Christian Louboutin platform pumps. They are so gorgeous! I love everything about them – the shiny patent leather, the pitch black color, the mega high platform and the resulting height enhancement. PERFECTION! I sure am not the only one who fell for these lustworthy pumps as these heels sold like hot cakes when they hit the shelves a few months ago.

Bebe “Bailey” Patent Leather Pumps

UPDATE (01/21/2010): These Bebe platform also don’t match the Louboutin color, but the shape is almost identical and I just love a good shiny pump.

ALDO “Destime” Platform Pumps

UPDATE (12/18/2009): I know these ALDO pumps don’t really match the shiny patent version of the Louboutins, but the shape is so similar that I had to feature them. Who doesn’t need a pair of red pumps anyway? J’Adore!

Joan & David “Flipp” Platform Pumps

If you are willing to spend some cash to get a similar style, these patent platform pumps by Joan & David are a great alternative if you can’t afford the real deal. The platform is not as high as on the original, but overall they still look very similar. If you prefer a different color, the pumps are also available in various other colors & finishes.

BCBGeneration “Tinas” Platform Pumps

If your shopping budget does not allow for a pricey shoe splurge, you might want to try these Louboutin inspired platform pumps by BCBGeneration instead. They cost $60 only which makes them 2/3 cheaper than the above mentioned knockoff and you’ll save more than $700 compared to the real Louboutin pumps. It’s not a perfect match and the platform is even more watered down than on the first pair, but overall they are still a great option if you are lusting for the Louboutin look 4 less.

We’ve featured quite a number of Christian Louboutin shoes here on InTheirCloset and I think that’s because, other than being extremely popular with our readers, they are also what I would classify as “classic”. Louboutin pumps range from demure to over the top but almost all of them feel timeless. CL’s “Claudia” ankle-strap sandals are no exception. They are simply a new take on a tried and true shoe. Look how beloved these are by hollywood starlets and Playboy bunnies alike. You’d probably have to be either or both to swing that price tag though.

Ivanka Trump “Bulbli” Ankle Strap Sandals

UPDATE (12/14/2010): Well, well. Seems like Ivanka Trump can add shoe designer to her resume now?! Or maybe not because her “Bulbli” sandals look like spot-on clones of Louboutin’s Claudias though I must admit they have the much nicer price tag. Available in black, red or graphite patent.

ALDO “Brodigan” Ankle Strap Sandals

Thank you, ALDO, for bringing us a shoe both lovely and affordable. No, my friends, you will not be able to show off that red sole, but if it’s class you’re looking for, look no further. ALDO’s “Brodigan” pump is the versatile, cocktail pump you’ve been looking for minus the hefty price tag. *Ding Ding*. We have a winner! Also available in a great nude (“bone patent”) color.

Cork, canvas and navy. Now doesn’t this sound like the perfect nautical-inspired summer shoe? Yves Saint Laurent has come up with yet another lustworthy shoe in the form of these “Deauville” cork platforms. Just looking at these makes me want to spend my summer on a yacht lavishly sipping on a bunch of cocktails. The $695 price tag brings me back down to earth rather quickly though.

Steve Madden to the rescue! Look, it’s another almost identical YSL copy. The only visible difference to me is the missing indent on the cork wedge platform. Everything else looks spot-on. Available in navy, black and natural fabric.

Christian Louboutin always seems to get it right, even if we’re talking espadrilles rather than sky-high pumps. Espadrilles have really seen a revival in the last couple of years but to be honest it took me a while to warm up to them. What I love about these Almeria Espadrille Wedges, however, is that they are a throwback yet totally modern at the same time. Sexy but also casual in a lovely summer-picnic kind of way. Celebrities obviously agree, as evidenced by the photos below. Clearly they’re in their budget, but are they in yours?

Jessica Simpson “Heathery” Espadrilles

If the answer to that question posed above was “No” but you’re still loving the idea of a cute pair of espadrilles to help you prance your way into spring, consider these sandals by Jessica Simpson. I didn’t initially have high hopes for her line of shoes, but I have to say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Not only are these a great price, but they’re practically identical to the Louboutins. Just throw on your favorite sundress and voilà: a perfect (and inexpensive!) look for those warmer months.
