Shoes can make a world of difference. They can instantly elevate any ensemble by taking it from head-turning to a total knockout. So whether you've already shopped your seasonal soiree outfits or can only swing a chic pair of shoes, you'll want to check out the following party footwear finds.
Of course, there are plenty of flashy must-haves. Some feature more concentrated embellishments, while others are truly blinged out. Silver and gold certainly make a statement, but they're not the only shades on offer. You have your traditional red and green, which we're really feeling this time of year. But don't dismiss blue velvet. It's definitely season-appropriate. (As are bow accents.)
Then there are all the amazing silhouettes. Like shiny ankle boots, glitzy loafers, pointy flats and even brilliant ballerinas courtesy of some big-name brands. Think Prada and Maison Margiela because Tabis are still in demand. The price range is also impressive. You can spend as little as $59.90 all the way up to $1,650 for a pair of Saint Laurent satin slingback pumps that you'll wear for a lifetime.
