The perfect pair of vintage look shoes can make all the difference to an otherwise understated outfit, and there’s little that packs more punch than some seventies stacked heels. These Lola Floral Platforms from Boohoo don’t shy away from making a statement and they’re all the better for it.

With an unashamedly summery feel, the floral platform heels tap into a post-sixties psychedelic mainstream. The front features a twisted black canvas while strappy heels take care of your ankles at such a daringly tricky height.

They’re available now from Boohoo for £35.
