Hi Judie & Evelinda,

Just wondering if you’ve had a view into next spring/summer’s styles — are we going to be seeing platform sandals again next year?  They looked great with wide-leg pants — are we going to see those again too?  If we don’t see platforms, what works with wide legs for casual wear?

Thanks for your help.  BTW, I loved your column on things you’ve changed your mind about.  Amazing how our eye adapts over time, isn’t it?

Thanks again,

Denise W.

Dear Denise,

The trendsetters are switching to a crossbreed of a heel and platform.  It is a concealed platform at the front of the shoe (the platform is wrapped in the same fabric as the upper portion of the shoe) and balanced with a thicker very high heel at the heel of the shoe.    You see this shoe in stores right now and it will look great with the wider leg pant.   But don’t worry the comfy platfrom, where the shoe is equally elevated, is always present in some form. Its been the dominate shoe but when it takes a back-step, it is usually shown with a thinner and not quite as high of a platform.   The bottom line, you will be able to wear your sandals next year.  Designers have been showing high-waisted, wide-legged pants for several seasons, but they are just now becoming popular on the street, you will be able to wear this style when the warm weather returns. 

Evelinda and Judie
