I’m always looking to add a little more height to my outfits, and while the usual go-to is heels, I’ve recently fallen in love with platform sneakers + sandals.  They’re fun to throw on with a pair of your favorite jean shorts for a weekend look or with a flowy dress for a light summer look.

Check out my three favorites:

Dressy + Metallic

A loafer turned sneaker, perfect for your casual, summer Friday look at work! Add in some platform-like height + pretty metallic hues and you’ve got the perfect pair of blucher platforms. These are from Zara and their new collection has so many pretty little details.

SHOP this exact style…for under $50!

Black + Basic

Anyone else STILL live in black during the summer?! You can’t go wrong with having a good pair of black sandals, and this pair adds a little more fun to your look!  Dressy cork wedge with a more casual sneaker bottom and simple leather detailing on top…instant warm weather favorite!

Classic + White 

Slide into these simple white VINCE platform sneakers and never look back!  This pair of comfy and trendy slides are the best addition to your weekender look.  Partner with high-waisted shorts and a simple white tee…and you’re ready to head to brunch!
