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

There’s nothing like the arrival of the winter season 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.

Having a little more fun with every decision, Jennifer Lopez has taken a leaf out of my book this week, 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-lined designs that are in all new-in sections, these classic, chunky heels have a playful energy that can totally transform an outfit.

A little less common than they were just a few years ago, platform heels had fallen out of favour as flat-soled shoes such as mary janes and ballet flats ballooned in popularity. Naturally, however, the pendulum is starting to swing back in the opposite direction, and we’re noticing thick platform heels have started to crop up within celebrity circles and feature more heavily in the collections of high street and designer brands right now.
