Why and How You Should Wear Platforms
Don’t be worry if you have thought twice about putting on a platform shoes, because there are several tips here about why and how you should embrace a platform.
Firstly, you should just take a look at Sofia Vergara. It is rarely seen that the actress who starred Modern Family was not wearing a pair of platforms on the red carpet.
She loves to wear platforms so much that Neil J. Rodgers, the famous shoes designer and stylist, has named a shoe just after her. The shoe, which is Sofia Silhouette, is a platform sandal.
Rodgers described platform as a funny footwear that gives maximum height while being extremely stability for its chunky heel. His words to Footwear News answers why the platform is a fantastic choice of footwear.
Further, he also said that platforms are so sexy in style that they naturally boost people’s mood.
Another super fan of platforms is Lady Gaga. She has been spotted in Brian Atwood platforms even though her idea of high heel sometimes goes to extreme.
A pair of platform heel provides you with added length and better posture, and makes you appear to be slimmer.
Rodgers proposed that it’s the best to put on a platform in the evening, to an event, or a party.
He also told that the heavy appearance of a platform is a great match to extra-light, pleated and flowing fabrics. It’s a great choice to pair the vogue platform with a short dress.
But there is a style which Rodgers said that everyone should get away from: wearing platforms with tight clothes from top to toe, which appears to be a heavy-bottom look.
Sophia told Footwear News that her new platform, including the Natalia Crystal and the Effie Crystal, were welcomed among celebrities. For instance, Scarlett Johansson was seen wearing the Effie lately.
The creative director at Kurt Geiger, Rebecca Farrar-Hockley, said that the label’s platforms are hot among customers, especially to those who need shoes for floor-length gown.
Said Rodgers: “It’s a style that women cherish, and so anytime the style has a renaissance, they are always eagerly received.”
