It’s the height of an event-studded season, which means you’ll definitely be needing another excuse to pamper yourself with yet another pair of gorgeous shoes – just don’t tell your other half about it. But if you’re going to update your shoe-drobe, you might as well get yourself some dainty platforms. Granted, they might be super-daring and very retro, but who doesn’t love a little vintage from here and there?

The disco-inspired platforms are very, very versatile; meaning, only you can choose who you want to be when you wear them. Want to look like a rocker? Pair them with a bike jacket and ripped skinny jeans. Care to venture the baby doll look? Wear your platforms with a little dusty dress. Want to create a controversy? Just pair them with a floral dress and you’re golden.

Indeed, the towering heels simply require a bit of creativity from here, a dollop of balance from there and a whole lot of attitude from everywhere!

And if you’re still not sure about strutting around in sky-high heels, then the Photo Gallery below will help you clear things up.
