As the saying goes, “retro” is “in” right now. The early 2000s’ nostalgic fashions, such as butterfly tops and low-rise jeans, have been making a strong reappearance. When it comes to footwear, platform heels are now trending. Heels of all shapes and sizes, from pumps to sandals to wedges to mules, are back in style, and they will make you appear like a real-life Bratz doll. These wedges are more practical than stilettos and will inject some *fun* into your outfits.
When you looked forward to 2022 shoe trends earlier this year, we saw a comeback for trendy platforms as one of the possibilities. In case you’re scoffing, I’m not referring to the style popular in the early 2000s, which had a huge platform at the toe of the shoe and a knife stiletto. Instead, we’ll be ascending to greater heights with a solidly built platform in the forefront to support your weight.
You’re at a loss to suggest a more propitious moment for it to take place than this one. Not only can shoes with a little more heft provide for an excellent contrast to feminine skirts and tailored suits, but they also come in useful in day-to-day settings. From March to the end of the year, did you spend a lot of time attending outdoor events such as weddings and parties on the weekends? When it finally shifted, you were finally able to stop spending months hobbling about on your tiptoes in order to avoid the ground. And what about now, when it’s starting to get chilly outside? This serves as a wonderful reminder that velvet platforms look excellent when paired with tights, and that boots with a distinctive sole can enhance even the most basic of outfits.
The outdoor party season may be over, but that doesn’t mean we can put away our event-ready footwear just yet. Need a fashionable bottom that will take you from the office to the after-work social scene in comfort and style? One of the season’s most prominent shoe trends has been sky-high platforms, so take your inspiration from that.
