Since their inception centuries ago, platform heels have made countless appearances in fashion. While most shoe trends come and go (dad sneakers, slouchy boots, gladiator sandals…) platforms have managed to maintain relevance throughout the decades, proven by their enormous popularity in recent runway shows. Keep reading to see some of our favourite platform heels and how to style them!

Platforms, but Make It Preppy

Combine classic and trendy with a chunky platform loafer. This style has been seen on the runways of Gucci, Versace, Fendi, Prada...the list goes on! These heels can be easily transferred from season to season—pair them with a mini skirt in the summer, and add some socks and an oversized blazer when fall rolls around!

A Monochrome Moment

These sky-high Versace heels have been going viral since they were first seen on the fashion house's runway for its AW21 show. So much so, that countless brands have released their own version of the shoe, like the Deirae Heel from Jessica Simpson. To mimic the monochromatic runway looks, pair these pink heels with your favourite pink outfit. Also available in black.

Diamond Heels Are a Girl's Best Friend

Embellished heels took over the AW22 runways, seen on those of Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood, and most notably, Mach & Mach with their rhinestone studded platforms. Channel the 70s party scene on your next night out with the crystal embellished Elsie block heels from Black Suede Studio.
