#9: Platform Shoes
Platform shoes are making a huge comeback in this decade for their nostalgic flair. In the 1970s, however, they were the disco dance room shoe of choice! Fun to dance in, with the playful aspect of added height, platform shoes did not discriminate across genders, as they were popular with many male disco stars like The Bee Gees. Disco was all about fantasy and self-expression, and the platform shoe fit perfectly into that equation.
