One of the greatest shoe trends for Spring/Summer 2022 is plateau-heeled pumps! Some of you will recall the early 2000s bootcut or flared denim trend that was accompanied by the final wave of the 1970s plateau mood. I saw many pictures of my mom in this style of shoes. I must say that while I am not completely smitten with this trend, as a petite woman I think this is the trend to indulge in. Like all high heels, plateau-heels are really exquisite, but they also have the unique twist that a powerful fashion statement demands. I am very excited to try these trends of shoes and I can sense that I will fall in love very soon with them. I like that it gives you the height needed but it is also very comfortable to walk in them.

I believe they are the ideal complement to lovely short dresses with an A-line form because they visibly lengthen your legs, making them a trend for shorter women. That shape is quite flattering and emphasizes the legs because it has a fit at the shoulders and waist and a flare at the hem. It could seem as though this combination could come off as a little too provocative, but I can promise you that with the proper attitude and styling, it is a guarantee for a highly smart and stylish look. Therefore, the high-necked short A-line dress is an absolute must-have. Here I am wearing a beautiful mini-A-line dress from Alice and Olivia, with a black plateau pump from Gucci and a beautiful mini-Lady Dior bag. This outfit is rather simple but speaks volumes of sophistication and elegance.

I believe the platform or plateau shoes are a must in every lady’s wardrobe. They are simple to walk in. Below, I will link 12 brands from all kinds of budgets for you to shop from.
