Summer is “the” season for wedge platforms. They are sassy, sexy, and basically look good with anything. We’ve rounded up 5 awesome wedge platforms that you can snatch up now in this week’s Friday Finds.
1. High Society Heel from Free People
Yes, this pair of wedge platforms is incredibly pricy, but we all have to splurge every so often. This pair features a cork heel and a raffia platform. Vegans beware: It does feature suede. This shoe is padded (you’ll need it because the platform is 2 inches and the heel is a whopping six inches). Comes in two colors and priced at $198. Wear with a flowing, peasant dress and people will swear you stepped out of the 1970s… in a good way.
2. Vintage Platforms
These previously-loved beauties feature snakeskin, suede, and leather. These heels are so crazy, you could easily pair them with a simple pair of high-waisted cut-offs and a t-shirt. While the Etsy shop owner hasn’t confirmed the decade of these heeled delicacies, the owner thinks they are ’70s or after. Priced at $95.
3. Platform Sandals
These platform sandals feature cork heels that are deliciously chunky. The white leather straps are adjustable and fit at the ankle. Go all-out retro and pair with a rainbow crop top and short-short white shorts. Priced at $52. Listed on Etsy.
4. Bebe Heels
This shoe is for the closed-toe loving gal. The shoes feature a chunky heel, which is totally in right now. The pair is desert hued. Priced at $28.49. Pair with a structured beige dress, or cream-colored frock to give your outfit a little somethin’. From ThredUp.
These shoes feature thick and chunky straps and are listed as practically new (high praise from ThredUp). If I had these shoes, I’d wear them with my sequins hot pants and black crop top. Yes, I own both, and no, I’m not ashamed. Priced at $31.49.
Do you have any platform wedges in your closet? I have a beige pair, but am in need of a black pair.
