How To Wear Platform Sneakers: 5 Stylish Outfit Ideas

Platform Sneakers Outfit Idea #1:

Here’s the first outfit idea I have for you today.

This one features a really cute strappy white crop top paired with high wasted black shorts, a blazer, and black platform Converse.

This outfit is perfect if you love a bit more of a preppy style when it comes to fashion.

It’s kind of a professional meets casual type of look, and I’m totally here for it!

I definitely want to talk about the black and white/gray color scheme in this outfit.

I think the simpler color palette works beautifully here because there’s a lot going on in this outfit between the layering, strappy details, and accessories.

Limiting the colors in an outfit is a great way to keep it from being overwhelming if it’s a busier look.

For accessories, try a matching shoulder bag and gold jewelry.

If this outfit matches your vibe, I found some cute pieces to help you recreate it for yourself:

Platform Sneakers Outfit Idea #2:

Here’s a way to style platform sneakers that’s not only super easy, but it’s also perfect for spring and summer.

I’m loving the pink and green colors on this romper!

It’s super cheerful and screams “summer afternoon.”

Rompers like this look so good with a pair of white platform sneakers, which honestly look good with just about anything thanks to their classic look.

I love the white crew socks peeking out of the sneakers for that sporty, casual look that’s everywhere right now.

This is definitely one of those summer outfits you’ll want to save for later.

Perfect for when you don’t know what to wear and want to throw on something easy that’s pretty much guaranteed to look good!

Have you ever heard of “outfit recipes” or “outfit formulas?”

If not, it’s basically exactly how it sounds!

It’s pretty much a recipe using different types of fashion pieces as your ingredients and then putting them all together to create a fully-styled outfit.

You can use this simple outfit recipe of patterned romper + white platform sneakers to style an outfit that’s easy to throw on, comfy, and always looks cute.

Here are my top finds if you’re looking to recreate this look for your own closet:

Platform Sneakers Outfit Idea #3:

Here’s my next outfit idea in this list of ways to style platform sneakers.

The main outfit recipe for this one is: maxi dress + shoulder bag + platform sneakers.

For anyone who loves skirts, dresses, flowy pieces, floral patterns, or anything that feels very feminine but with a casual touch, this look is definitely one you’ll want to recreate.

This one is another outfit that’s perfect for warm weather!

Thanks to the combination of sneakers plus a long, flowy dress, it’s a super comfortable outfit to wear too.

That makes it perfect for activities where you’ll be walking a lot like shopping or strolling on the beach.

Speaking of the beach, this would also look so good with a big sun hat, too!

This is definitely a look where you can easily dress it up or down depending on the occasion.

The sneakers definitely make it lean casual, but you can make this outfit a little bit more formal with the right jewelry, purse, hair accessories, and jacket or cardigan.

Perfect for a dinner date or a night out! Now, on to my top finds for this look:

Platform Sneakers Outfit Idea #4:

Next in my list of ways to style platform sneakers is this outfit idea right here.

We’ve talked about outfits with shorts and skirts, so I definitely wanted to include an outfit with pants for those who love that style.

This basis of this outfit is a black mock neck shirt, white wide leg pants, white platform sneakers, and black shoulder bag.

The white and black in this outfit looks so sharp and has such beautiful contrast in it.

High contrast pieces are a perfect choice if you’re looking to wear an outfit that’s bold and won’t make you look washed out, because it’ll do just the opposite of that!

This outfit is probably my favorite on this list because it’s sleek and offers plenty of coverage, which is why I love mock necks so much.

Plus, this makes it perfect for cooler weather!

I can definitely see this being dressed up with a blazer like the one I mentioned earlier in this post.

Also, can we talk about the black fringe bag the girl in this photo is rocking? So cute!

And now, my favorite part!

I went out and found some cute finds for you to recreate this outfit with:

Platform Sneakers Outfit Idea #5:

And now for my final outfit idea for styling platform sneakers.

So for this one, we’re going with a pretty white blouse, slightly distressed denim shorts, white shoulder bag, and black platform Converse sneakers.

This outfit is a super cute look for activities like going shopping or going to brunch!

This one is great for anyone who loves a little bit more of a girly look but with a casual touch thanks to the focus of today’s post which is of course platform sneakers!

To accessorize this outfit, I recommend trying some simple gold jewelry and sunglasses.

I feel like chunky hoops would look gorgeous with a pretty blouse, complimenting the really feminine look of this outfit.

To get the look for yourself, here are my top finds:
