The oversized soles are back: In spring 2022 we love the platform shoes on our feet. The higher the better.
The platform shoe is making a brilliant comeback in spring 2022. That means: In order to look modern, shoes need a platform this year. The higher the better. Every shoe model gets a thick sole: the classic loafers, girly ballerinas, summery sandals as well as stylish ankle boots.
The designers and fashion makers are doing us a great favour. Because walking in platform shoes is much more comfortable and suitable for everyday use than in shoes with a pure heel. As a rule, the plateau (from the French: plateau) is between three and ten centimeters thick. The trend is particularly beneficial for smaller women, because platform shoes stretch and make the body appear larger.
Hippie feeling and a modern break in style
The platform shoe first appeared in fashion in the late 1960s and experienced its heyday in the 1970s. The fact that the shoe model is now experiencing a voluminous comeback fits perfectly into the ongoing retro trend. In combination with a turtleneck sweater and flared trousers, the shoes with the oversized, thick soles bring the wild seventies back to life in our wardrobe.
Platform shoes can not only provide a modern hippie feeling, but also a cool break in style. This works best in combination with a more elegant styling such as a summery midi dress or an extravagant maxi dress, like Kendall Jenner paired with platform flip-flops on Instagram. Anyone who wears trendy platform sandals with it has definitely won in terms of styling in spring 2022.
