Christmas means one thing. Party time. Fashion girlies everywhere are prepping their wardrobes for the biggest events of the year. The excitement is palpable. So, we’re spilling the tea on the footwear trends we’re backing this season. Think ultra glam, high-octane shoes and the energy to match. This season’s party footwear trends are glossy, glitzy and very, very chic. From sexy knee-high boots to slingbacks and strappy sandals, these are the shoes to know now. You heard it here first.

1. THE SEXY SLINGBACKS

Make an entrance this Christmas in a pair of super chic slingbacks. The footwear equivalent of a backless dress, they’re a bit sexier than your average pump with a ladylike quality we’re feeling right now. Everyone agrees; they’re the party shoe silhouette of the year. We’re talking buckled straps, pointed toes, kitten and geometric heels. Cue Saint Laurent, serving up feminine energy for party season with their pointed slingback pumps. Whether Oxblood red or deep brown, they’ll add some high-fashion refinement to your going-out look. Alternatively, show off some sexy ankle action with Gucci’s Signoria slingbacks, or embrace the sophisticated but-slightly unique aesthetic of Givenchy’s Voyou and Miu Miu’s décolleté pumps.

2. THE STRAPPY SANDAL

Dance the night away this Christmas in a pair of strappy sandals. We’re talking ultra-thin straps, killer heels and ultra feminine details. There’s a reason the fashion set loves this ‘90s staple. It’s a shoe with real party staying power. Celebrate silly season in Off-White’s Nappa sandal. The cult streetwear brand has reimagined the standard heeled sandal for now with an ankle strap version of their signature Zip Tie Tag. We love the new silhouette and hardware details. Alternatively, make an entrance in Bottega Veneta’s gilded Knot sandals. Guaranteed to turn heads on the dance floor. Disco fatigue? These shoes are the pick-me-up you need.

3. THE CRYSTAL SHOE

Turn every head at the party with a pair of crystal-studded shoes. No date? No problem. These are the only plus ones you’ll need. The perfect dance floor partner, you’ll be out from dusk til dawn in Gucci’s Crystal GG boots and slingback kitten heels. This is party fashion with a capital F. Back-to-back social events call for statement shoes that you can pair with all your favourite party dresses. Feeling extra? Look to Saint Laurent, purveyors of Parisian chic and rock ‘n’ roll glam, for a pair of crystal-embellished strappy stilettoes. No party shoe lineup would be complete without Christian Louboutin’s silver mules and Dolce&Gabbana’s crystal pumps. If the shoe fits . . .

4. THE GLOSSY KNEE-HIGH BOOT

How to style out party season? Step into Christmas in a pair of ultra-glossy knee-high boots. You can amp them up with a mini dress for girls’ night, or tone it down (a bit) for the Christmas works do. Bonus feature: they’re a bit more comfortable than your standard high-heeled pump. This season, Christian Louboutin have nailed the assignment. Their Sporty Kate Botta boots in shiny patent leather come with the label’s distinctive red sole. That means one thing, and one thing only. It’s party time. Also, worth RSVP-ing to: Givenchy’s polished Voyou boots have a shiny pointed toe, wafer thin heel and statement buckles that make us want to dance. For more polished knee-high fun, tap Gucci and Tom Ford for sophisticated party boots that were made for big nights out.

5. THE ANIMAL-PRINT DESIGN

If you’re a party animal, you’re in luck. This season, animal-print shoes are dominating our feeds. Take a walk on the wild side in Vivienne Westwood’s Vargas Elevated platforms. The towering silhouette is a fashion classic with a punk attitude that’s perfect for late-night fun. Likewise, Christian Louboutin’s towering Supramariza platforms and cute So Kate ankle booties are finished in a sexy leopard print we’re all going wild for. Want to step up your animal print game? Steal the spotlight with Saint Laurent’s patent, printed slingbacks and Prada’s leopard print mules. All the drama.
