Flat shoes with platform, fashionable?

Prada and Stella McCartney They put this trend on the radar last year. They both agreed to add platform to Oxford-style closed shoes and success was swift. Will we see them again this Spring? This is the question we ask ourselves, whose answer we intuit is "yes."

PlatformHowever, since that first starting gun it has also been incorporated into another type of flat footwear. We can see this trend in Oxford or Blucher style shoes with laces, but also in loafers and / or sports style shoes. It seems that we do not want to give up gaining a few inches of height.

Is it possible to win some centimeters in height without wearing heels? It is with platforms. A few years ago Isabel Marant revolutionized sneakers by incorporating an interior, hidden platform into her design. Today, however, it is preferred that it be visible, that it even stands out.

Most of the designs that we find in the market are presented in black and white; a tandem that provides versatility to them. However, this summer when the closed shoe gives way to more sporty proposals, I am sure we will be able to see them in different colors, time to time!

How do they combine? We find them usually combined with skinny pants and / or skirts short so that they can be seen in their entirety. Given the prominence that midid skirts have taken, we have also seen them combined in different styles with these, although it is risky. Midi skirts and flat shoes form a tandem that favors few.

Given the masculine air that contribute to our look, we opt on numerous occasions for feminine upper garments, which in a certain way balance the styling. If, on the contrary, you want to reinforce that masculine character, we only have to incorporate an oversize garment to our look.
