The Chariot Platform by Y.R.U. embraces fashion's recent obsession with the 90s. The raver-inspired accessory adds a bold touch to any daring outfit and is a great choice for a fun night out. The eye-catching sandal also features a [3 inch heel, a 2 inch platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bae-clog) and a synthetic upper frame that appears [iridescent under light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karintha-sequin).

The holographic Chariot Platform by Y.R.U. is available from online shoe retailer Solestruck. This [summer sandal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/z1-design) must-have is a contemporary translation of a retro style aesthetic made popular during the 90s. While the shoe reminds one of something they may have owned during their childhood, the rainbow-brite kicks are not only stylishly shiny but are also incredibly comfortable when dancing the night away.
