I think it's classic, and I vote for the brown. I couldn't decide what was prettier, white or brown, so I voted for brown so you could wear your beautiful shoes with more things. White shoes seem very limited to me. I own one pair (actually close to these but sandal-y), and I haven't worn them even though I got them a year ago. I can't figure out how to wear white shoes!

I am not sure if I feel like the style isn't played out, but may be in the future. I would get the midnight, it just looks so rich and awesome, that is if you can work with dark blue shoes.
I also love the midnight! Those aren't insanely high platforms so it should be a more durable style (I think of this style as a classic that gets revisited anyway).
