Platforms Potential

Platforms once enjoyed the peak of popularity a few years ago and it’s getting back again. There is an appeal of boosting your height while still getting comfortable. And it seems that the street style stars of the Copenhagen Fashion Week sees this appeal. Pick an outfit with a simple vertical silhouette that will bring the attention to your statement platform shoes.

Textured Outfits

A little texture in your outfit will never hurt. It is especially helpful when you’re going for a monochromatic look. But you could also go for a bolder ensemble by wearing a textured item that is in bright color or print.

Lacing it Up

Lace-up clothes of any form has started to get back to being one of the trendy items this year–particularly lace-up tops. But for those who are still hesitant with pulling off an allure outfit with lace-up tops, you could go with a pair of lace-up sandals instead.

Birkenstocks Galore

Birkenstocks are the epitome of comfort when it comes to footwear. And likely so because of how wonderful our feet feels when wearing these footwear. An easy way to style up Birkenstocks is by keeping your outfit minimalist as possible. That means, simple clothes and minimal to zero accessories.

Socks Don’t Suck

Nope, socks aren’t for grade-schoolers anymore, people. We’ve got a lot of outfits lined up this year where socks are worn. Socks also give out a vibe of comfort. But to get away with this, I suggest choosing a pair of socks that either contrasts or blends really well to the color of your shoes and is ankle-length or shorter.

The Girl’s Sneaker Outfit 

Make your feminine and romantic outfit a tad bit casual and relaxed by replacing those sexy heels or preppy flats with a chic pair of sneakers. Opt for light colored ones as those really suits a more feminine outfit than darker ones.
