Wondering if you can wear a maxi dress with platform sneakers and look totally put together? According to Sofia Vergara, you absolutely can.
The actress recently walked around Los Angeles in a flowing black maxi dress, which she combined with chunky jewelry and an oversized Chanel bag. But our eyes were on her white platform sneakers — Puma Mayze Classic Sneakers to be exact, according to the brand. These comfortable shoes instantly gave Vergara’s outfit a simple ’90s-inspired touch.

White sneakers are always a summer staple, but platform sneakers are definitely having their moment in the sun. The thicker silhouette takes the classic sneaker to the next level — literally and stylishly. Wear them with a maxi dress like Vergara’s, go for a more casual look with a sleeveless tee and denim shorts, or take them from day to night with a ruffled dress.
Vergara isn’t the only one who has embraced the white platform sneaker trend lately. Jennifer Lopez stepped out in the Hamptons in a monochromatic lounge look, Cameron Diaz was seen onstage at BottleRock Napa Valley in platform sneakers and a Canadian tuxedo, and Brittany Mahomes wore them to Wimbledon in a tennis-inspired outfit.
Give your summer wardrobe an elevated, nostalgic vibe like Vergara with these 10 white platform sneakers from Keds, Reebok, Adidas, Steve Madden and more starting at just $28 on Amazon.
