Chic Shoegasms: By Larin block colour platform shoe

Simple in its style, By Larin often focuses on delicate shapes and pretty details, making it the perfect choice for special occasions where a girls needs to appear sophis yet stylish.

And these By Larin shoes give a girl the elegance that is often lacking when it comes to brightly coloured footwear.

In a beautifully soft suede, they feature a contrasting panels of purple on the body, blue on the heel and orange on the platform for a striking statement that’s a beginner’s answer to summer’s colour blocking trend.

The trick? Keep the rest of your outfit simple. Lots of leg is key – the bright colours will accentuate a post holiday tan – so opt for a structured white dress or something with sparkle to add edge.

It’s a seasonal trend, but it’s back for next season, too, so we reckon these platforms are a perfectly safe purchase. Just one warning: though they’re super sumptuous, they won’t weather the storm – think lunch with the girls or an evening dinner rather than too much champagne at Ascot.

By Larin Block Colour Platforms, £222, available at my-wardrobe.
