Somewhere between the soaring heights of Gene Simmons’ stacked-high thigh-highs and Lady Gaga’s supersized Armadillos, the platform earned itself a bad rap. They’re a little too high, too “stage”, too much.
Then, the tides shifted.
We’re all for wearing high and higher heels for a bit of fantasy. Live out yours in these platformed beauties from Clergerie — the view’s great from up here.
HIGH EXPECTATIONS
Where: The Office
Feeling iffy about that surprise boardroom meeting or that salary negotiation you’ve initiated and now dread? There’s something to be said for faking it ‘til you make it. So, wear that co-ord power suit, hands at your hips Superman-style. Tower over your team in strappy platform sandals. Whatever you need to feel that boost of capital-C confidence.
HIGH TIDE
Where: The Beach
HIGH NOTES
Where: The Gig
It’s time to give your combat boots a mini sabbatical; you’d want to keep these platform kicks — just a touch tighter, smarter and sleeker — on rotation. Team with a sleek Jil Sander half-placket shirt, some Euphoria-style eye glitter, and backstage passes with your name on it.
