They won’t see you waving from such great heights: platform pumps are the footwear of the moment.
Perfect with a party dress or wide-leg jeans, platforms add a kick to any ensemble -- not to mention the fact that they make your legs look impossibly long. An added bonus of the platform: it makes a higher heel feel less towering (for instance a 4-inch heel feels like 3 with a 1-inch platform), so they’re more bearable to wear longer. Every celeb is wearing them, from the red carpet to the street (like Sarah Michelle Gellar at right). The omnipresence of platforms is a testament to their versatility: you can wear them anytime, anywhere, to punch up an outfit.
Every shoe line features platforms right now: from Nine West to Gucci, you can find that extra inch of height. I just picked up Guess' Borda platform pumps (at above left) from Piperlime, and I can’t wait for them to arrive!
So give platforms a try. I think you’ll find that the air up there is exactly what you’re looking for.
