Platform boots - step up your style
If you're looking to add a bold twist to your favourite outfits, then platform boots could be just what you need. If you want the drama of classic platform heels, but with a little bit more stability and coverage, platform boots can offer style and comfort as well as adding that extra height.
Whether you want something casual or a little more statement-making, platform boots are a versatile choice you’ll reach for again and again and can easily be worn all year round.
What are platform boots?
Platform boots are a fun twist on regular boots and are ideal for women who want that extra height whilst staying confident and balanced. Unlike traditional high-heeled shoes, where all of the height comes from the heel, platform boots are raised across the whole of the shoe, meaning you gain the height without losing your balance.
Variations on this platform theme include platform sandals, which make a great summer alternative to platform boots, and platform trainers, which have the same added height across the whole shoe, but in the form of a trainer.
How to wear platform boots
Platform boots are incredibly versatile, and you can create a whole range of different looks with just one pair. Here are just a few easy ideas for ways to wear ladies' platform boots that will be sure to catch the eye of passersby:
With tights and a mini-skirt
If you want to let your ladies' platform boots shine, opt to team them with a shorter skirt and tights during the colder weather, or bare legs in the summer. This look lets your platform boots become the real star of the show.
With bootleg jeans or flares
Tease your platform boots by just letting the platform peek out from underneath a retro bootleg jean or flared pair of trousers. Dress the outfit up with a smart shirt and blazer, or keep it casual with your favourite band t-shirt.
With a maxi dress
Recapture the '90s grunge look by pairing your platform boots with a long vintage floral shirt or printed maxi dress. This look creates a striking contrast of softness and striking style.
