New Year’s Eve is approaching (it’s in 12 days, to be exact) and no matter your plans, it’s time to start thinking about what to wear. Whether you’re going to a warm-weather destination or sipping Champagne on your couch, a cool, festive heel or flat will be perfect for the night. To get you in the spirit, we’ve rounded up the best footwear options — from glitzy (but comfortable) sparklers to sandals that won’t kill your feet if you have to stand for hours. The best part, of course, is that you can wear them all through 2015. Click through the slideshow to see our picks.

Dance the night away in a little bit of fluff (in the form of faux fur) with these sandals in a curved, feminine shape.
If you're not eating caviar, you can always wear it on your shoes. 
Swirling gold lines and punchy pink: Nicolas Ghesquière's shoes for Louis Vuitton's resort collection are almost having more fun than you.
Wear a tuxedo-style shoe with slim black trousers and a blazer. It's a no-fail look right out of the Sofia Coppola playbook.
Unusual without trying too hard.
The graphic lines of these minimalist sandals offer maximum skin exposure, so you may want to buff your heels beforehand.
The graphic shape and color of these Fendi sandals would fit in well in Miami's Design District.
Glitzy, glittering gold dazzlers, with a heel that's respectively lower than others.
Indulge in the curiosities of peekaboo mesh.
Sky-high mirrored leather, gleaming like the Chrysler Building.
Blue suede shoes. Almost nothing more fun than that.
A flat sandal that's the epitome of easy elegance. Think of these as fancy house shoes.
For the trend-conscious, get ahead on spring and try a platform. Also, because of the thick soles, these are a good bet if you have to be on your feet...

This lace looks more vampy than prissy.
Sparkling shoes reminiscent of late-'60s psychedelia. Groovy.
A wardrobe that skews tomboy shouldn't avoid metallics. These silver lace-ups exude the right amount of insouciance to jazz up any minidress.
Paul Andrew may be known for his seductive heels, but these metallic gold flats — with the brand's now-signature swooping shape — are just as cunning....

Wear these with a black dress and a slick of dark-red lipstick.
