Fall dressing has a shortcut this year, and it's on the shoe rack: the wedge, sleek and low-key confident, built to carry a look from morning meetings into evening plans without a costume change. It reads polished without trying, which is exactly the point of a good early-fall staple. No blisters, no overthinking, just one shoe doing several jobs at once.

With reporting from Harper's Bazaar.
