Before you permanently swap out sandals for fall ankle boots, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Lopez, and Dakota Johnson have an end-of-summer shoe trend idea for you. All three women have recently been spotted in platform wedges, and their impeccable outfits are convincing us to give it a whirl too.

Photographed in Los Angeles, Witherspoon styled her Christian Louboutin Almeria Wedges ($695) with the HVN Morgan Printed Silk Crepe de Chine Dress ($625) and looked like the picture of office chic. On the opposite coast, Dakota Johnson wore her platform wedges with the ultimate fashion-girl uniform: a silky cami and high-rise, straight-leg jeans. Meanwhile, Lopez packed her wedges for a trip to Italy and styled them with a pretty Dolce & Gabbana lace dress. Scroll down to see how they wore the trend and to shop it for yourself.
