Whatever you call – platform sneakers, chunky trainers, or dad shoes, this season, we no longer can ignore the hot trend of these UGLY shoes as they are now taking the fashion world by storm.
Whether you like it or not, these platform sneakers are the perfect choice if you want to add a touch of personality to your OOTD.
Over the years, the platform sneakers have been redesigned with all leg-flattering fits and hues, and today, they are one of the iconic IT girls’ shoes.
Whether you are petite or not, I’m sure these pairs will work wonders for you with their incredible versatility.
That said, ahead are the 8 outfit combos if you wonder what to wear with chunky platform sneakers.
Enjoy!
1. WEAR CHUNKY PLATFORM SNEAKERS IN A CASUAL ENSEMBLE
If you just get started with the platform sneaker trend, dress simple can never go wrong.
With the chunky sole, pairing the sneakers with complex prints and bold colors can easily look like you are trying too hard.
Instead, dress neat and simple and wisely showcase your high platform shoes as a statement piece that just alludes to a sense of effortlessness to your ensemble.
Pair your rainbow platform Converse with a faux leather tunic dress, this outfit is sure to turn heads.
2. PAIR PLATFORM SNEAKERS WITH BAGGY OUTFITS
A belted slouchy blazer dress with a pair of sand tone Air Max? It just looks so. damn. chic.
For a casual weekend ensemble, an oversized hoodie dress and chunky dad shoes are the impeccable matches of all time.
As platform shoes are bulky in nature, they can visually drag you down and make you look stubby.
If you pair them with a long pleated dress, the result can be downright brutal. As a petite girl, my most worn way is to throw on an oversized top as a dress.
That way, my figure can be elongated visually and create a long-leg illusion.
Complete the look with a pair of chunky platform shoes, it just balances out the figure and avoids looking top-heavy at the same time.
3. STAY FEMININE WITH PLATFORM SNEAKERS WITH DRESSES
Some girls may wonder how to wear chunky sneakers with dresses and I totally get that.
Sometimes it just doesn’t feel right to style them together.
For a failproof look, color plays a major role here.
If you are wearing a brown dress, pair your platform sneakers with similar hues just to make you look instantly more united as a whole.
But can you look feminine in platform sneakers without wearing dresses? That’s a BIG YES.
For an elegant look, throw a Chanel-style tweed jacket over a ribbon dress shirt with stark white platform shoes, it just looks so high fashion even to the simplest look.
4. WEAR PLATFORM SNEAKERS WITH SOCKS
Worrying your high-platform trainers aren’t eye-catching enough?
No worries as you can always add a pair of knee-high striped socks for a bolder statement.
For the girls who are feeling extra experimental, feel free to get bold with contrasting colors for a funky look.
But for me, I will get my feet wet in monochrome pairing first.
For a sporty schoolgirl look, throw on a cropped hoodie on top of a slouchy dress shirt and a tennis pleated skirt.
Add a dash of style with Nike platform sneakers, this look is a 10/10.
5. STAY EDGY WITH CHUNKY PLATFORM TRAINERS
As one of the hottest trends this season, pulling off chunky platform sneakers in high street style is a no-brainer.
Want to cozy up with the laid-back ensemble today? Throw yourself a baseball cap and windbreaker co-ord set and you can be good to go!
Don’t doubt, with a pair of iconic platform sneakers, you just look chic 24/7 with minimal effort.
6. EMBRACE THE BADDIE GIRL STYLE
As a perfect blend of high street fashion and sporty looks, a pair of chunky white sneakers is a must-have in baddie girl style.
To pull off an “I’ve got style and I know it” look, front knot your loose-cut tee and wear the high waist biker shorts to feature your curves.
And for the girls who wanna add some retro flares to the look, a graphic tee and flared pants just bring you back to the good old 80s.
7. GO MONOCHROME IN PLATFORM SNEAKERS
If you want to look put together but have no time to mix and match, monochrome pairing is your lifesaver.
Some ladies may think it’s impossible to look classy and high fashion with high-platform sneakers, but actually, you CAN!
Again, color matters. Instead of picking the right hues, go for neutral yet in-style colors like white and beige to bring out elegance.
For a white monochrome look, pair a flocked white dress with monochrome chunky trainers just to make you look united in figure and maximize the leg-flattering effect.
Stay faithful to a boss lady look, and don’t forget to sparkle your look with a pair of gold-tone sunglasses.
8. PICK YOUR STYLE
Do platform sneakers necessarily have to be chunky? Not necessarily. It’s really down to the shoe design you prefer.
As a petite girl, I prefer the pointy toe instead of the round toe as the V line can always elongate our legs visually with a dash of urban sophistication.
Pair the pointy black sneakers with a sleeveless blazer dress, you have no problem looking sleek with platform shoes.
This is so random… BUT
hey ladies, why not quickly do an affirmation and feel instantly better?
This new year, I’m trying not only to share fashion tips but come up with ways to instill body positivity in all women who are reading my articles – aka YOU!
Instead of just reading it, say it loud or murmur the quotes (if you are in public) to maximize the effect.
Ready? Here we go.
I love my body. She is my forever home and sanctuary.
Sassy isn’t a shape, it’s an attitude.
Work out because I love my body – not because I hate it.
I can love myself and change my body at the same time. No guilt about that.
It is completely normal to have tummy rolls. I come to realize that social media isn’t showing the reality… at all.
My happiest moments in life had nothing to do with the way my body looked.
I don’t have to be pretty like her, I can be pretty like …ME.
I AM perfect imperfection.
What are your thoughts on that? I hope that makes you feel better (as you deserved).
Please help me pass the body positivity message in your community. #womenhelpwomen
