Why Are Platform Shoes So Popular?
Platform shoes are perfect for casual, dressy, and even formal looks. Yes, you read that right. The best part about these shoes is how they add height without compromising comfort and cushioning. Ladies, this is your perfect stiletto and heel alternative at work. Since the platform distributes the weight evenly, they’re also a breeze to walk in. They make you look tall while flattering your frame, giving all your heels tough competition. These shoes are a great way to lace up your everyday look and turn heads while at it.
What Makes Converse All Star Cruise Special?
The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Cruise comes in three colorways- Black, Egret White, and Pink Sage, giving you options for the look you’re going for- from an edgy vibe, casual, to a formal one. The shoes blend skate-inspired style with everyday comfort. It’s a high-top shoe made with a cotton canvas upper, OrthoLite cushioning, and a lightweight EVA-injected outsole with a foam midsole for support. Paying homage to counter-culture fashion, it pairs a classic canvas upper with skate-inspired elements, like a suede eyerow overlay and punched eyelets. The exposed stitching and extra wide laces give these shoes a retro touch. The disrupted, layered midsole adds intrigue to these shoes while still not losing sight of the signature Converse style.
These platforms are perfect to pair with work attires. While the shoes look young and casual, you can always pair them with a tailored suit, wide-legged pants, and a handbag. These create an eye-catching elevated look that balances street style and sophisticated chic.
How to Style Converse All Star Cruise Like a Pro?
Striper Mercedes adds an effortless campus touch to the Chuck Taylor All Star Cruise. She first pairs the black Chuck Taylor with a white Cozi Perfect jogger and a pink t-shirt. She then switches it up with an egret white Chuck Taylor, beige jogger, and blue t-shirt. If effortless and chill is the vibe you’re going for, this outfit needs to be on your shopping list. It also gives a sporty and athletic touch, perfect for hitting the gym. Several other casual looks go with these shoes, like jeans and T-shirts, mini and maxi dresses or skirts that accentuate the shoes, shorts, or trousers. Pair them with old and worn-in denim jeans for the ultimate laid-back look. As we are steadily heading into fall, layering is another great way to style platform shoes with casuals. Adding a sweater or a cardigan and accessorizing with a scarf or beanie to add texture and a bit of color gives a cozy, chic look. Whether you're running errands, attending classes, or meeting friends, these fits will pass the vibe check perfectly.
Since it’s on the chunkier side of shoes, keeping the All Star Cruise as the main focus is the best way to style them with any outfit you’re going for. Always choose simple accessories like minimal jewelry, neutral bags, and sleek, streamlined designs. Play with proportions and balance the height to make your overall look less bulky. Going monochromatic is a great way to keep it simple. Choose a color scheme from head to toe, whether minimalistic, neutral or even bright and bold colors.
