1. THE SMART LOW TOPS

Upgrade your trainer collection this party season with a pair of smart low tops. The world’s most-wanted designers have transformed this wardrobe staple into something worthy of a night out. Just ask Gucci and Christian Louboutin. Their trainers are anything but basic. Look for luxe materials like suede and leather, and instantly recognisable designer details. Think red soles on Christian Louboutin’s Orlato sneakers, Valentino Garavani’s signature Rockstuds and Gucci’s status Web sneaker. Prada’s Downtown Delavé trainers tick all the smart party boxes. Brown suede, leather panels and a gold Prada Triangle logo. Celebrate silly season in style. Go one, just one more?

2. THE CHUNKY DRESS SHOE

We’re going big this Christmas. Big energy, big fashion, and even bigger shoes. That’s right, the chunky footwear trend has moved beyond trainers and into the realm of dress shoes. Now, even your formal footwear has had the XXL treatment. Push it to the max this party season with Gucci’s Maxi GG and Prada’s oversized loafers. The luxury fashion giants have put their polished spin on the whopping great shoe. Prefer lace ups? Burberry’s Oxford and Our Legacy’s Trampler shoes have both had the oversized treatment. Go big or go home.

3. THE PARTY LOAFERS

Want to impress your boss at the Christmas party? Swap your usual sneakers for a pair of swanky loafers. Cue Duke + Dexter. The London brand has reimagined the traditional loafer for now. Their sophisticated shoes have earned them an A-List following - David Beckham is a fan. And we all know that man knows how to dress. Next up, the Italians, aka the loafer cognoscenti. Look to Ferragamo and Valentino Garavani for Italian-made dress shoes with a difference – think chunkier silhouettes and Valentino Garavani’s inimitable Rockstuds. Finally, Prada’s Penny loafers are peak party shoe – guaranteed to make an entrance.

4. THE STATEMENT BOOTS

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 . . .

5. THE XXL SNEAKERS

Perfect for a big night out, the XXL sneaker trend is the only one that can match your energy this season. Big on style and big in stature, Off-White’s ‘Be Right Back’ sneakers were made your late-night shenanigans. We’re all about the oversized silhouette, technical details, mesh panels and futuristic colourways. They’ll still look pretty good at the morning after breakfast, too. Whether you’re chasing after the city’s best club night or heading to your local for a few festive pints, Bottega Veneta’s Orbit trainers and Balenciaga’s 3XLs come in equally head-turning finishes and can withstand the end-of-night horror when the lights get turned on. If you really want to make a statement, Maison Margiela’s collab with Salomon combine’s the fashion house’s slick codes with Salomon’s technical know-how. An elite trainer for a night out with the lads. See you at the afters.
