Now that we've said goodbye to spring, there's a new season on the block - summer. Yes, the season of sun, beach holidays and cocktail sipping by the pool has arrived, and we can't wait to pack our beach bags, throw on our best sandals and enjoy some sunshine.
There's one fashion statement this summer that we can't get enough of and will be wearing every chance we get, and that is platform sandals. They're a chic summer wardrobe staple that does two things: provide comfort and look good. That's two things we want from our footwear this summer - especially if a city break is more your style but you want to switch it up from your platform trainers.
We all know how popular these shoes are - take the classic Dr Martens Platform Sandals for instance. Influencers have been spotted wearing them over on TikTok, so we predict they'll be the wardrobe staple of the season. All that's left to do now is find a pair that is perfect for you.
We've scoured your favourite stores to find the best platform sandals to buy right now, so you'll be strutting around in a glorious new pair of shoes very soon.
