Platform ankle boots: the must-have of the moment
Long neglected by the catwalks and the fashion world, platform ankle boots have made a strong comeback and are once again a key trend this winter! To find the perfect pair and wear them successfully, André tells you everything you need to know about these must-have shoes of the season.
Why choose platform ankle boots?
As beautiful as they are timeless, platform ankle boots keep feet warm, protect them from the rain, and transcend trends without ever losing their appeal. The ultimate detail: their thick, even oversized, sole, which elongates the silhouette and adds height. Once slipped on, they bring a touch of character to any look while guaranteeing stability and comfort.
While they may seem intimidating at first glance, these ankle boots are actually versatile and easy to wear. You'll have no trouble creating a variety of looks every day. The only challenge is finding the perfect pair!
Platform ankle boots: which models to choose?
To stay on trend, fall for must-have pieces like Chelsea boots. For a striking look, these shoes feature a thick, lugged sole. Very comfortable, they allow you to stay flat while adding a few precious centimeters to your height. And despite the years, they haven't aged a day!
Want to be the next seventies icon? Chunky heeled ankle boots are prized for their retro-chic look. The 70s are now the go-to era and continue to inspire with ultra-stylish pieces. Platform boots, flared trousers, floral prints, and crochet clothing… These timeless pieces revive the codes of the past to win over both lovers of minimalism and avant-garde fashionistas!
Finally, it's hard to ignore patent leather platform boots. These ultra-trendy shoes with their smooth, glossy finish perfectly complement a casual yet always polished outfit.
How to wear platform ankle boots with style?
With platform ankle boots, you can switch styles in the blink of an eye. From a simple look to an evening outfit, the possibilities are endless! Here are a few inspirations:
• A chic look
For a look that will turn heads, pair your favorite boots with a dress or a short skater, A-line, or leather skirt. Its cut softens the bulk of the soles while beautifully highlighting your legs. If you own black ankle boots, complete the look with a pretty red velvet dress and a pair of tights. A glamorous effect is guaranteed!
• A working girl look
For a sophisticated and elegant look, platform ankle boots work wonders with a blazer, skater skirt or well-cut trousers.
• A fun look
The trend is all about color! Dare to be whimsical by choosing ankle boots in vibrant hues. A pair in bright red, pink, green, or gold guarantees an irresistible and slightly retro style.
• A casual look
To soften your outfit, pair your platform boots with mom jeans and an oversized sweater. Another option: the winning combination of skinny jeans + white t-shirt + long coat if it's cold. A sure thing that's everywhere on social media!
• A girly look
Both feminine and comfortable, the combination of a cropped knit sweater and a denim skirt is always a winner! Another combination we love: skinny jeans with a turtleneck sweater.
• A summer look?
Yes, platform ankle boots can even be worn in summer! During the warmer months, slip them on with denim shorts or a long dress for an impeccable feminine look.
