Feathers! Sparkles! Rhinestones! It’s time to celebrate party season by investing in a new pair of heels that will bring you, and your outfits, some much needed joie de vivre over the next few months.

Having spent nearly three years switching between trainers, Birkenstocks, and perhaps even the occasional Croc, it’s time to celebrate our festive freedom with a pair of heels - just make sure you have your blister plasters at the ready to help your feet through the readjustment.

Paired with an LBD, the classic nice-top-and-jeans combo, or even a masculine boxy suit, a great pair of shoes are the quickest and most effective way to revamp a look to be Christmas party-ready in an instant.

So, keep scrolling to find your new favourite pair of shoes that will last you until the New Year and beyond.
