5 Summer Looks with Platform Sandals – Mediterranean Inspiration

5 Summer Looks with Platform Sandals – Mediterranean Inspiration

When summer arrives, our wardrobes crave lightness, color, and style. On the Mediterranean coast, the sun, the sea breeze, and the whitewashed streets create the perfect setting for comfortable and elegant outfits. Platform sandals have become an essential staple for women seeking height, stability, and a touch of glamour with every step. Whether for a sunset stroll, a coastal getaway, or dinner under the stars, these sandals elevate any look. Below, we present five summer outfit ideas inspired by Mediterranean style to pair with our most coveted platform sandals.

1. All-white look with espadrille platform

White is always a safe bet in summer. It's cool, elegant, and perfectly reflects the Mediterranean light. A long white linen dress, with thin straps or a V-neck, is ideal for a stroll along the port or lunch on a terrace overlooking the sea. Pair it with espadrille platform sandals with a transparent strap for a relaxed yet sophisticated look. This type of footwear elongates the silhouette without sacrificing comfort. Add a wide-brimmed hat, a raffia bag, and sunglasses for an authentic Ibiza vibe.

2. Coral dress + beige platform sandals

Coral, terracotta, and peach tones evoke the warmth of summer. A flowing dress in these colors, with a light, airy fabric and simple cut, is perfect for highlighting a tan and radiating positive energy. Paired with beige platform sandals, the result is feminine and very stylish. This outfit is ideal for a romantic dinner, an evening stroll, or even a casual beach event. To enhance the look, add a structured handbag, gold earrings, and a relaxed hairstyle like a side braid.

3. White shorts + black top + black platform sandals

If you prefer a more urban yet equally summery style, this combination is ideal. A well-cut white pair of shorts, a black wrap or tank top, and chunky black platform sandals create a chic and modern contrast. This look is perfect for a night out, a date with friends, or an afternoon of shopping. You can play with accessories: a statement clutch, red lipstick, and cat-eye sunglasses. The black sandals add a powerful touch to the look and are key to elongating your legs.

4. Printed jumpsuit + nude sandals

A jumpsuit is a comfortable, practical, and stylish garment. If you choose one with floral prints, stripes, or tropical motifs, you've already got half your look sorted. To complete the outfit, nothing beats nude platform sandals: they go with any print and help to visually lengthen your figure. This ensemble is ideal for excursions, visits to coastal towns, or al fresco meals. Add some gold bracelets, a relaxed bun, and a wicker bag to complete this outfit with a bohemian and Mediterranean flair.

5. Black mini dress + braided platform

Black isn't just for winter. In summer, a flowy black mini dress with an open back or halter neckline can be both light and elegant. Pair it with platform sandals in braided raffia or jute for a striking contrast of textures. This look blends sensuality, freshness, and naturalness. It's ideal for al fresco dinners, casual parties, or simply for feeling fabulous. Add a gold necklace, a light linen jacket, and soft makeup to complete the look.
