1. Platform Sneakers
One of the biggest summer shoe trends of 2022 has been platform sandals. So, it’s no surprise that platform sneakers should be pretty popular as well. The great thing about platform sneakers is that they come in a ton of styles — everything from chunky dad sneakers to colorful statement-makers to old-school Converses.
Some of the celebrities who have rocked this trend include Camila Mendes, Dua Lipa, and Vanessa Hudgens. See how they paired their sneakers with their outfits below.
