Step into fall in style with updated Platform Heels
They're back! After several years off the runway, the platform
heel is back with a vengeance this fall. The queen of chunky
heels, the platform heels brings with it a glance back to the party
life of the 70s and the grunge days of the 90s. Now, we'll pair
the platform heels with this fall's feminine details and warm, nubby
textures.
Here are some ideas for buying platform heels and working them
into your autumn wardrobe:

shorter platform heel. A tall, exaggerated platform heel could
make you look overpowering. At the same time, the very petite
should also avoid towering platform heels, because they could
over power you!
- Size and shape: Think in terms of proportions. Bigger women
can wear bigger platform heels. Smaller women should stick with
platform heels that fit their size.
- Material: Platform heels carry the risk of looking chintzy.
To avoid this, look for platform heels made of high-quality leather
and suede.
Avoid platform heels that are too shiny or embellished. Tasteful
details will ensure that you get the most style miles from your
platform heels.

- Platform heels look beautiful with knee-length a-line skirts.
- Don't pair your platform heels with this seasons pencil
skirts or cigarette pants.
- The slim silhouette against a chunky platform heel can make
you look oddly proportioned.

heels to work with your fall wardrobe.
