The Party-Ready High Heels To Elevate Your Holiday Look
From bow-topped sandals to crystal-encrusted mules, these high heels will see you through the party season and beyond
The holiday season heralds the perfect opportunity to step out of your sartorial comfort zone. Minimalists go maximalist, the color-phobic embrace vibrant technicolor, and we indulge our inner magpies with a little (or a lot of) sparkle. For some, it’s slipping into a pair of power platforms by Versace. The brand’s ‘Gianni’ sandals are embellished with its iconic Medusa emblem and are a suitably glamorous choice for holiday parties. For others, it’s about dipping just a toe into crystal-strewn glamour, which is where Jimmy Choo steps in with its embellished patent-leather ‘Stevie’ pumps. Set on a sculptural stiletto heel, they will instantly elevate office tailoring for impromptu festive drinks. The same can be said for Gucci’s pumps, which shone on the fall ’24 runway.

Color can also be transformative and influence our mood – even if it’s just one vibrant accent – so consider the joy-inducing powers of bright pink. Aquazzura’s ‘Bellezza’ Mary Janes – exclusive to NET-A-PORTER – will make a splash at your next festive gathering and look particularly chic styled with haute hosiery. Meanwhile, animal print has the same impact, especially when it comes in luxurious textures, such as Gianvito Rossi’s plush velvet pumps. Pair them with a slick suit, or to elevate your favorite jeans and a dressy top. If black has an unshakeable hold on your heart, consider heels with subtle twists, such as Manolo Blahnik’s sophisticated ‘Ramisli’ satin slingbacks topped with 18th-century-inspired buckles.

Alternatively, embrace the season’s trend for all things sheer with Jimmy Choo’s ‘Ixia’ pumps. The modern-day equivalent of Cinderella’s glass slippers, they’re made from translucent mesh, frosted with shimmering crystals that appear as if they’re floating on bare skin. For a nod to bygone glamour, slip on Christian Louboutin’s sparkling ‘Apostropha’ mules, matching your pedicure to those iconic red soles. Whichever style you go for, you’re guaranteed to stride confidently onto the dance floor this season.
