Everyone has that one thing they love shopping for. For some, it's denim. For others, it's luxe staples or rising trends. But for me, it's always shoes. Searching for unique and affordable heels or saving for a great pair of strappy sandals brings me more joy than I care to admit. While I don't like to play favorites when it comes to my babies, one shoe trend has my full attention: platform sandals. And I know I'm not the only one currently in love with platform shoes. If you scroll through Instagram on any given day, you'll see the platform's popularity has reached new heights. This is partially due to the dreamy It-shoes floating to the top of every fashion girl's wish list. But it's also because there are so many ways to wear platforms.  

Platform shoes are arguably one of the easiest styles to incorporate into your wardrobe right now, as you can find them in various iterations. You really can't go wrong with any version of this shoe because they're all cute. That said, with summer on the horizon, investing in a pair of platform sandals makes sense. So, I've scoured the internet to narrow down the best platform sandals to shop at every price point. From minimal to colorful, affordable to luxurious, there's a pair ahead for everyone.
