Not to be confused with wedge sneakers, creepers are thick, flat platform shoes with crepe soles. A few years ago, this was a massive fashion trend. It has died down a bit since then, but there are now fashion designers and influencers who are bringing creepers back!
Creepers are a great way to step out of your comfort zone if you’ve never worn platform shoes before. They’re stylish, trendy, and they make your outfit stand out. Plus, they’re coming back around, so you’ll be ahead of the times if you wear them now.
How to Wear Creepers: Outfit for Class

Styling creepers isn’t as hard as you may think. Although they are statement pieces, they’re pretty easy to style. In addition, creeper shoes are very comfortable to wear so they’re ideal for class. They’re easy to walk in and they’re a great casual fashion piece!
To get this look, start with boyfriend jeans, the perfect pants to wear with creepers. They give you a stylish look while also making sure you’re comfortable for class. Then add a tight turtleneck shirt to balance out the loose jeans. Turtleneck shirts are totally in and plus, they’ll keep you warm during cold nights. You can tuck your turtleneck into your jeans and then pair it up with a belt to “complete” the look.
To add an additional layer, I recommend a cute cardi like this one. Cardigans and turtlenecks are a perfect combination because you’re able to layer up in a way that highlights both pieces without looking too much. This cardigan will bring your entire outfit together and keep you warm!
Depending on where you live, you may also need a coat! In New England, temperatures are already dropping to 30 degrees. The best kind of coat to complete this look is a trench style coat. If you live somewhere chilly, opt for wool, or if it’s only somewhat cold, this thinner one from Nordstrom Rack is a great option.
