Trend: Flatforms



The flatform trend was big in the 70's and then again in 90's, and it is now coming back! There are many different styles of flatforms coming in all different sizes. The flatform trend is popular with many celebrities including Miley Cyrus and Charli xcx. 
There are a large range of flatforms available, with different colours,size and price. I have picked out some of my favourite types of flatforms with a price range to suit everybody.

1. 'Schuh Creep Platforms' - £14.99
With a 4 cm platform these are perfect if you only want a small amount of extra height, the pastel theme is also very big at the moment so and these shoes are great if you are looking for a 'pastel goth' look, the shoes come in a wide range of colours including metallic,simple black and white, tropical print and pastels. 

2. ' Converse All Star Hi Platform' - £64.99
These platform Converse Hi tops add a twist on a classic, these are more expensive than some of the other shoes due to the brand, but non branded copies of these can be found on Ebay for a very reasonable price. These are very common among a lot of celebrities and pair with a skater skirt or shorts and crop top to add edgy vibe to a classic look. These are my personal favourite as they are simple and a wardrobe essential!

3.'Buffalo 1310-2' - £133
These are the most expensive shoe out of all five for them, but they are beautiful. Sadly they are out of my price range but you can find some on Ebay for around £80 which still isn't cheap, these are a big hit with celebrities such as Charli xcx (seen to be wearing them in the photo above) and Brooke Candy.

4.'Underground Creepers' - £95
Another classic shoe that has been very popular among many celebrities, I personally love creepers and they can be paired with just about anything! There is a wide range of colours and patterns available, but you can never go wrong with classic black. If you don't want to pay £95 for creepers, high street shops also sell them at cheaper prices including Shoezone which sell them at only £14.99 and they can also be found on Ebay.

5. 'Cute to the Core Black Stud Flatforms' - £40
These are very similar to number 2 but add even more of an edgy vibe to your outfit and will make your whole outfit eye catching, these will add more a 'punky' or 'grungy' look to your outfit. If you think £40 is too expensive you could easily DIY a pair at home for half the price, by finding a cheap pair on Ebay and adding studs to them to make them unique.
