Must-have platform shoes for the fall season
Attention: Platform shoes have now entered the chat. If there's one thing about us, it's that we always love a platform. Whether you're 5'9" or 5'4", there's a platform shoe for *every* girl to rock. Live out your tall dreams by adding some height to your fit with a pair of Doc Martens or any other shoe on this list.
Sandals
Even in the chilly autumn weather, you can totally rock sandals with a pair of sheer black tights. On a fancy occasion (Say, homecoming dance? Meeting your S/O's parents?), swap out a pair of heels for some platform sandals for an edgy but sophisticated vibe. A velvet mini dress brings this '90s look together.
Converse
Converse have been in the spotlight for a while now, but the platform option takes them to the next level. Since they go with everything, Converse are the best comfortable (and casual) platform. As a versatile shoe option, you can pair them with leggings, oversized sweaters, tights, cute minis, cropped turtlenecks...you ge the idea. Whether you dress 'em up or down, your platform Converse are guaranteed to stand out and stand tall.
Mary Janes
If a heel doesn't give you the height you want, a platform definitely will. Channel your inner Cher from Clueless with a pair of Mary Janes—but this time, with a platform. Regardless of the occasion (Brunch with your besties? Fam dinner?), these Sam Edelmen pumps guarantee you'll have the best shoes at the table.
Loafers
The loafer is the definition of supermodel chic. Not only do loafers scream preppy—they also scream fall. Pair these classic Steve Maddens with a white, frilly sock to look like you're on your way to a runway show. The added height this shoe provides will make you feel like a supermodel, and the timeless design makes loafers a perf pairing in any season.
Boots
It wouldn't be fall if you didn't have the perfect pair of boots. The FANATIK Burgundy boot might be the best boot we've seen this season. Social media influencer Ken Eurich collaborated with Steve Madden to create the exclusive burgundy color. From its warm coloring to its below-the-knee height, you *absolutely* need these shoes.
