Topshop magenta 'slash' platforms

Magenta is not a colour I tend to associate with shoes. In fact, like cyan it's one of those shades you only really expect to see in its purest form on a computer screen, but Topshop have gone all sci-fi with their choice of the colour for their daring 'Slash' gladiator platforms.

You'll certainly attract attention in these cosmic purple platforms, which do look a lot better on the feet, hence my inclusion of thier model photo above. Great choice for transition-wear too, as you could get away with wearing them tights-free on balmy summer evenings before revamping them for a more glamorous look come Autumn. £70 at Topshop.
