The perfect platform heels for Spring/Summer 2024

If, like me, you’re more than a little obsessed with 70s fashion, you’ll agree that the platform heels and sandals seen in this season’s runways are to die for. And while the sky-high style may be ill-suited to those of a… less agile nature, for those who look before they walk, a platform shoe can do you (almost) no wrong.

On the runway, the sky-high shoes can be found in the Spring/Summer 2024 collections of Gucci, Molly Goddard, Roberto Cavalli, Eckhaus Latta, Peter Do, Sacai and Simone Rocha (among many, many more).

If you’re looking to reach new heights, here are the six best platform heels for SS24.

Who said denim is only for your clothes? Platform mules are another style that will be very popular this warm season, and a pair of denim shoes is a great way to add some irony and texture to a monochrome outfit. Beyoncé said “Denim on denim on denim on denim”, and we oblige.

Toes are on show this season with clear platform shoes. Sculptural shapes in the heel are a chic and modern detail to look out for. Style them with more classic or ironic pieces (like white socks and gym shorts) to make them better suited for the daytime.

Clogs are the shoe embodiment of “so-wrong-it’s-right”, and a chunky platform wooden clog is what our ugly-chic dreams are made of. We recommend pairing your clogs with short shorts or mini skirts to accentuate your legs.

White is the it-colour for shoes this Spring/Summer, and milky-hued platforms are no exception. Bright whites especially are a great way to add polish to a modern outfit.
