S/S 2011 Season Trends: Enjoy Sunny Days in Platform Sandals

I’ve been waiting for warm and sunny days to wear my sandals. And the warmer season seems not far away, and then it will surely bring a wider range of sandals for ladies to step in beautifully. Among all those kinds of styles, I find myself still so much into the platforms, which seem always coming back with new looks, and I bet I have also read the mind of many other ladies. Platform sandals have proved their great performance in both versatility and practicality. Isn’t it just awesome to find some heels that are comfortable and meanwhile high and elegant? The spring/summer season of 2011 has also seen lots of great platform sandals.

Platform sandals are also loved by those giant fashion brands, as can be seen from those shoes their models stepped in on the runway — fringes, flowers, lace, or different embellishments. The heels have been superbly tall, in all kinds of shades, from the classic ones to various shapes and prints. Get yourself some great picks and they are to make you stunning at the seaside or wherever else.

Aside from being practical and versatile, these sandals can do you a big favor if you are one of those who desire for a taller and slimmer look. They do represent the great choice for trendy and elegant summer styles. They are sure to go perfectly with different items from skirts or jumpsuits to denims and sophisticated shirts. Just choose the perfect pairs which flatter your silhouette and match your own personality. But please be careful that some of them have got a crazy height, like the ones from Charles Anastase and Barbara Bui!

Fringes, floral prints, and other flirty decorations were also seen on platform sandals, such as those playful pairs by Wunderkind, D&G, Blugirl, and Christian Dior with bows or sweet flowers.

Shoes in tasty and fruity colors are certainly great additions to your summer wardrobe. You just need to pay attention to the height and go for the pairs allowing you to move freely, within so many options, like those by Custo Costume National, Barcelona, Blugirl, Betsey Johnson, Sonia Rykiel, or D&G.

Platform sandals not only perform greatly for daytime, but they can also help you gain more elegance at night. Pairing your platforms with jeans and a sweet top for a night out will be a brilliant idea. For this you may get some idea from houses like Marc by Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior, Stella McCartney, Donna Karan or Ports 1961. For something more refined, the nude and powdered pink pairs are perfect decisions. White, beige and black ones will also be a great idea, since they are extremely versatile. While, if you are into something rather special and eye-catching, the houses have prepared for you some one-of-a-kind pieces.
