When wearing chunky shoes, it’s important to pick clothing with hemlines that  end above the knee or extend all the way to the floor, past the platform. “Miniskirts, culottes, cropped trousers and flared dresses all work well with platform heels. In fact, pairing platform boots with flounc-y, feminine dresses keeps the look from becoming too saccharine. You could experiment with various colours and finishes to either complement your outfit or add a contrasting element,” Bhanot says. The only caveat with platform heels is that they concentrate attention to the lower half of your body; so, if you are conscious about your ankles or your calves, she advises steering clear of this style. Similarly, very petite body types should avoid very bulky or chunky heels as they can make your feet look disproportionate. 

Add some drama vate even the most basic outfit to a fashion statement since they’re so attention-grabbing. To balance your look, Bhanot recommends adding another focal point, either in the form of a bold lip or a chunky necklace or bracelets. You could also lean into the dramatic aesthetic by layering your platform heels over colourful or whimsical stockings. “If you’re wearing these heels as occasion-wear, pair them with a monochromatic mini-dress that’s embellished with sequins. Thigh-high boots with a platform sole are another apt choice for fashion-forward dressers — pick a pair whose colour matches that of your outfit, for a cool monochrome moment,” Bhanot concludes.
