Party shoes are something between a piece of art and a trusty companion. They go beyond average shoe styles, even beyond an average heel. Party shoes come with sparkles, velvet, satin, sequins, and many other details that make unique. And once we’ve found a special pair, we love to bring it out holiday after holiday. Because no matter how much you eat and what you wear that year, your shoes can always be the IT piece you need that day.

When November ends, the first holiday lights dress the winter darkness in a romantic light, and the smell of baked goods surrounds us, it’s time to style our most special pieces. While we want to be comfortable during the holiday season so that chocolate, cheese, and booze an be welcomed – we also want to dress the part. And this means accessories and party shoes.

So what separates a party shoe from our other shoes? They can easily make an outfits highlight. Meaning, they can be worn with knitwear and jeans as well as with all black outfits. While everyday shoes, even heels, are made of some kind of leather, party shoes are a true playground of material. We find velvet, satin, bouclé, sparkles, and sequined next to an extended variety of leather. Leather is glossy or colorful. And once we find a pair that is comfortable, we have a reliable piece all festive season long.

Classic party shoes

A classic style for the festive season can be done in heels as well as in flats. Style your shoes of choice with a classic black turtleneck from Cos and classic black suit pants from Tigert of Sweden. Then add a cozy yet chic jacket, like a bouclé cropped blazer from Boss. Finally – add a silver buckle belt or silver jewelry pending on your preference.

For an elegant holiday look you really can go all out. With sparkles, velvet, bows, or sequins. For example, give your style a little 60s twist. Pair your highlight heels with sparkly tights from h&m and an A-line shaped dress from Versace. Then add accessories like a hair bow from Jennifer Behr and earring from Stone and Strand.
