J.Lo Just Wore the “Dated” Anti-Flat Shoe Trend Everyone’s Now Suddenly Searching For

There's nothing like the arrival of winter to encourage a little more excess.
Another layer of jewels on an already sparkling outfit? Yes, please. One more glass of wine? Why not. A night out in your tallest pair of platform shoes? I think so. Right now, I'm having a little more fun with every decision I make, and it seems Jennifer Lopez has taken a leaf out of my book, swapping out casual trainers and comfortable ballet flats for a sky-high pair of platform heels.
Adding inches of height to her 5'4" frame, Lopez wore her light-beige heels concealed underneath the flare of her wide-leg jeans. A glamorous alternative to the kitten heels and slim shoe silhouettes that are in all the new-in sections right now, these towering chunky heels have a playful energy that can totally transform an outfit.
Platform heels have fallen out of favour over the past few years as flat-soled shoes such as Mary Janes and ballet flats rocketed in popularity. Naturally, however, the pendulum is starting to swing back in the opposite direction, and we're noticing thick platform heels cropping up within Replica Handbags circles and featuring more heavily in the collections of high-street and designer brands (one word: Chloé). Fashion fans are catching on too—Google Trends has reported a steady incline in searches over the past few weeks.
Wearing her platform heels with flared jeans, a white button-down and an Hermès Birkin, J.Lo put a smart and polished twist on the party-ready shoes. And whilst I love this classic pairing, I think platform shoes really come into their own during party season. Pairing supremely well with classic LBDs to make your legs go on and on, these chunky shoes also look chic when worn with a voluminous maxi dress to add inches of height in the most inconspicuous way.
