All the biggest designers have platform oxfords in their current collection. At first, I wasn’t a fan, but these shoes have grown on me. They seamlessly mix a men’s staple with a feminine silhouette and a side of ’90s goth. (Did creepers ever really go away?) Prada has several pretty pairs but I’m partial to this Stella McCartney pair:

They’ve got a tough looking lug sole but that’s not what I love most. They’re made of eco-friendly faux leather, with a sustainably sourced wooden heel. The Italian-made masterpieces can be yours for $995 from Net-A-Porter. Shop here.

Don’t have a grand in your hand? No worries! This budget-friendly pair has beautiful brogue detailing and will set you back just $29.99. Shop here.

If you love the look but would like to start with something less drastic, this sleek pair by Steve Madden is $59.95 at DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse. Shop here.
