Perfect Party Shoes

Guest blogger Claire is sharing thoughts about holiday party shoes! 

With the Christmas period nearly upon us, now is the time to start shopping for those all important party outfits. But what will you be wearing this season? There are plenty of new looks to be choosing from in the current collections of clothing, footwear and accessories. With such a plethora of different styles and trends to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice with what look for this party season.

Shoes are an important part of any woman’s outfit during the festive period. They can make or break an outfit, so it is vital you choose the right pairs for all those Christmas gatherings you have planned. Here are a few looks for you to choose from this festive season.

Shoe Boots

Shoes boots are a great way of adding some style to your party look. This season you will find shoe boots in plenty of different designs. For a bold look, choose a pair in a leopard print pattern. For a more subtle look, choose a pair in a black, grey or purple shade to stay looking on trend.

Nude Court Shoes

A pair of nude coloured heels is the ideal way to add sophisticated glam to an outfit. They will go with pretty much anything you wear. If you have a few gatherings to attend why not wear a pair of nude court shoes for each party with a different dress. Perfect if you do not want to spend loads of money on pairs upon pairs of shoes this season.

Knee High Boots

If the weather is a little chilly outside, why not go for a pair of knee high boots this festive period. Choose a pair that has a high heel for even more of a glam look. These will keep you warm and looking stylish all season long.

Black Wedges

If you want a pair of comfortable shoes this party season, then why not opt for some black wedges and wear with your favourite dress, skirt or jumpsuit. They will take you right through to spring/summer 2013 and will go with all your planned party outfits.

How To Wear Your Shoes

Knowing how to wear the right shoes with

an outfit is important. Here are some ideas from

a regular contributor to our blog Claire Hunter 

As you know there are many different types of shoes on the market. Heels, boots, slippers, flats, wedges, stilettos, courts, the list is endless. So how do you know which shoes to wear with each of your outfits? Well once you have pulled out all of your clothing, shoes and accessories, you can read here on how to wear each pair and with what type of clothing. 

Wedges

Now I would consider wedges to be more of a summer shoe. So with these I would choose perhaps a summery dress, denim jacket, perhaps a fedora hat and a small day time clutch bag. Finish with some cute bracelets and you are on to winning summer time outfit. Match the color of your wedges with your dress or bag and you will look even more on trend during those sunny months of the year.

Courts or Pumps

High heeled courts or pumps are perfect for nights out or formal evening occasions. If you are off to a party or just a few clubs and bars for the night, wear with a body con dress in your favorite color. Mixing colors will add a little more fun to your look so be bold with something bright. If you are heading to something a little more formal then perhaps opt for a midi or mid length dress in a subtle shade such as black, navy or dark purple. Choose a clutch bag in a matching color to the shoes and accessorize with small pieces of jewelery.

Ballet Flats

Probably the most comfortable shoes of them all are the ballet flats or pumps as some people like to call them. They will always look stylish during the day worn with a pair of skinny jeans, a simple t shirt and a blazer jacket. Finish with a large oversized tote bag and if it is sunny out, pop some super huge shades on for a touch of glam style. Gabor shoes have some fantastic pairs on offer at the moment that feature in all the latest shades.

Boots

Winter was made for boots. From ankle length to knee high, all styles look great worn during the colder months of the year. Wear with a floaty skirt and a fitted top for a day to night look. Accessorize with patterned scarves, tights and cute hats during the day for a casual appearance. For a glam night look add some sparkly jewelery and a small clutch bag.
