Fifteen Fancy-Comfortable New Year’s Party Shoes
Getting dressed up for a fancy event or a night out doesn’t always have to require high heels. Take one look at Sofia Coppola or Alexa Chung, both of whom wear Marc Jacobs or Chanel with a pair of sensible kitten heels or flats. The key to keeping the look from being frumpy is to choose festive styles with metallic accents, sparkles, or sexy mesh inserts. Take Miu Miu’s blush-pink patent loafers, with rhinestone-encrusted heels and grosgrain-ribbon accents that look equally cool with a cropped trouser or a short skirt. If that’s too subtle, Kate Spade’s glittery rainbow kitten heels are the equivalent of wearing a disco ball on your feet. And should your tastes skew toward something with a bit of an edge, Zara’s ankle-strap flats are covered in an array of gold spikes, creating strong contrast against an ultrafeminine dress. On New Year’s Eve, when everyone else is complaining about tired feet once the clock strikes midnight, simply pick up another glass of Champagne and continue on dancing. Click ahead for party-ready shoes that will keep you on your feet until the wee hours of the morning.
