Platform sneakers: 10 good reasons to succumb to them this season

Fashion trendsBy Léa DechambreFacebookTwitterPinterestWhatsApp

The 90's are making a comeback in our wardrobes: faded jeans, high-waisted shorts, loose t-shirts, sportswear sets... and obviously on the shoe side, platforms. You're not dreaming, the Spice Girls high sneakers are back. Don't worry, this pair is very easy to wear, provided you are tempted by their somewhat original shape. If you still don't dare to (re)take the plunge and buy platform sneakers for fear of being outdated, here are all the reasons to make you change your mind.

1 - Platform sneakers are super comfortable

There's no denying it, among women's sneakers, it's probably the best for walking all day without ending up with blisters. Even if one might doubt it with their raised soles, they remain very practical and comfortable flat shoes. You can jump, run, dance all night long if it suits you without hurting, and that's not for all pairs.

2 - They lengthen the silhouette

The big advantage of being tall is to refine our shapes while growing (3 to 6 cm), as would pumps or wedge sandals. But you won't risk twisting your ankle on the first curb, because the weight of the heel is well distributed throughout the shoe. We say yes!

3 - Platforms are trendy

You've probably already understood this, but we'll tell you again just in case: platform sneakers are no longer old fashioned. Farewell to colors that burn the retina, improbable materials and importable heels. In the 2021 version, we find more noble materials, refined colors and discreet cuts. We are a long way from the massive soles of the 90s, don't worry.

4 - They go with everything

You have to admit it: the platforms are very versatile. In other words, they go just as well with sporty, casual or dressy outfits. With their cut, they add a je ne sais quoi to any outfit: a little black dress, slim jeans and a crop top, a pleated skirt, overalls...

5 - Platform sneakers can be worn on all occasions

Even at a wedding! You can count on these pairs to dance the night away without hurting your feet while looking chic and classy. There are a number of models that are suitable for all events: first interview, tryst, shopping, festival, shopping... Break the codes and keep an open mind.

6 - They bring a touch of youth

Chunky-soled sneakers aren't just for teens. With dungarees, gold jewelry and a pastel handbag, you can adopt the trend even if you are over 15-18 years old. It's all about finding the model you like.

7 - They are perfect for the season

It's out of the question to be too hot in these canvas or leather trainers. Even in the cool summer nights, they will accompany you without any problem. These trainers are also ventilated so you don't end up swimming at the end of the day.

8 - Platform sneakers know how to be sober

We're not talking about the 90's sneaker models with electric colors and questionable shapes... Here, we stay on very classic with a little original touch. Minimalist and chic, platform sneakers in 2021 have discreet patterns, soft colored inserts and subtle materials. Much less perched than their ancestors, but they do the job for everyday life.

9 - They are not reserved for small sizes

It's like for the heels, as soon as there is a little height, we are afraid that the look will look like a giraffe. But don't panic, the pair is suitable for all body types, but also all sizes. If you are tall, it will lengthen your legs and your figure. To showcase yourself, this is the best option. Then it's up to you what size heels/platform you're comfortable with.

10 - Platform sneakers sign the return of the nineties

We were already seeing fashionistas sporting a good number of typical 90's pairs and we weren't expecting to see the platforms again soon. But they are back and will go perfectly with typical pieces from the 90s, which are also in vogue this summer. If you don't know how to style your deph placket jeans or your bomber jackets, this is THE pair for you. After all, isn't fashion just an eternal restart?
