They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend…seriously though? We think wedges are. The minute you walk into a room those kind gentlemen at the bar aren’t looking at your bling, they’re looking at your long sexy legs. Thank you wedges!
10 Reasons Why We Love Platform Wedges
Platform wedges positively accent any outfit whether they are made of leather, espadrille, fabric or cork. The greater the statement your wedges – like floral prints, zigzags, or neon colorblock – the more attention you will get.
Here, we list ten superb reasons why platform wedges are a must-have and must-buy before your spring vacation. Tweet us @nubry and tell us how you are wearing your platform wedges this spring!
1. Cool Factor – extra high printed footwear is like adding a large bangle to your wrist or an oversized sun hat to your ensemble. It just makes your cool factor go from a 6 to a 10. Instantly!
2. Comfort – since these sky heel platforms are almost as high under the toe as they are under the heel, the incline is less steep and thus makes these beauties deceivingly comfortable for hours (we include some sitting time during those hours).
3. Mix Print Tip – floral prints can be mixed with pretty much anything, thanks to spring 2012 runway previews. When the flowers show up on your feet, you don’t need to worry about matching them to what you are wearing.
4. Men – unfortunately (or fortunately?) men do not notice your $1000 dress from Barney’s, they notice your statement shoes.
5. Stilettos Sometimes Suck – please say no to stilettos at the pool! Don’t risk having a “Heidi Montag” by instead showing up to the pool in your platform wedges.
6. Flip Flop FLOP – all aboard! Board your yacht in style with platform wedges, not flip flops, and your captain will be at your beck and call throughout your voyage.
7. Day To Night – don’t feel like changing shoes for evening festivities? No problem! Platform wedges transition perfectly from day to night.
8. Affordable – you can finally afford red soles! Platforms for some strange reason have more material than heels, but cost less. Christian Louboutin Wedges here we come! But alas, Steve Madden and Betsey Johnson make some stylish wedges too.
9. Climbing – attempt a sea wall in your wedges. Men (and women) will be infatuated by your feats and feets.
10. Winter Gear – platform wedges are not just for spring/summer. Bring them out during winter, but don’t forget to wear socks and tights with your wedges!
