Trend I'm Not Loving: Flatform Shoes

Usually, I write about trends/outfits I'm loving, but I thought I'd change it up a bit and write a post about a trend I'm NOT loving. Now, there's not too many trends I hate. In fact, I think this is the only one that deserved an entire post dedicated to it. You might be familiar with it--the FLATFORM.

I mean, don't get me wrong I like wedges and some platforms but the flatform, that's a whole other ugly story. Maybe I'm not a fan of them because it's a trend that resurfaced from the 90's (70's as well) that I'm very familiar with. I'm not gonna lie--I rocked white canvas flatform shoes in elementary school and I loved them, but c'mon now, an adult wearing these shoes does NOT look right. Leave these shoes to the kids.



Are you a fan of the flatform? What trend are you not loving?

    really like the trend but I'm to tall to wear them myself :) but they are cute for smaller girls, in my opinion :)

    I totally agree with you.
    I love wedges, I have wedges, but flatforms are, pardon my english, so damn ugly.

    Wow...good post Allie! Well said...but I think it depends on if they are truly flat or slight
    angle...the truly flat like you are showing look extremely orthopedic to me. I never wore them in the 70's even when they were popular. They haven't gotten any cuter! Love high wedges!!! yahoooo!
