One of the things I love about the festive season is the excuse to dress up a little, and a beautiful pair of shoes can make even the simplest outfit feel special. If I don't know what to wear to an event, nine times out of ten I'll opt for an old faithful outfit I've had for years, but wear it with a fabulous pair of shoes and some new jewellery- accessories always make me feel finished! Finding nice evening shoes that look great and feel comfortable enough to wear all night isn't always easy, but that's what got me into this in the first place because I love a challenge, not really, because I genuinely don't believe comfort and style should be mutually exclusive.
The Party Edit brings together some of my favourite styles for the season, from rich jewel-toned velvets and gorgeous suedes to classic black and beautifully soft metallic leathers. Think deep burgundy plum, forest green and teal, alongside versatile gold and silver. These are colours that feel perfectly festive without being limited to Christmas, making them just as lovely for winter weddings, dinner parties and special occasions throughout the year.
One of the things I love most about jewel-toned shoes is how easy they are to style. A pair of forest green velvet heels can completely transform a simple black dress, while rich burgundy plum looks gorgeous with navy, chocolate brown or soft neutrals. Teal adds an unexpected pop of colour and of course, you can never go wrong with a classic black suede shoe or a little metallic gold or silver. Sometimes all you need is a fabulous pair of shoes to make an outfit feel new again.
Obviously looking good is only half the story. I've always believed that shoes should feel just as good as they look, and our evening shoes are no exception. With a choice of low and mid heel heights, from sturdy block heels to elegant, classic stilettos, there's something for those who love a little height without wanting to spend the evening thinking about their feet (as in, everyone!). Our signature cushioned insoles add that all important comfort, so you can concentrate on enjoying yourself, whatever you're up to.
And while these shoes certainly know how to make an entrance, they're far too versatile to save for special occasions. Wear the velvet with tailored trousers and a silk shirt, dress up your favourite jeans with gold heels, or slip on a pair of low heels for an evening out. I love designing shoes that you'll find endless reasons to wear, rather than leaving them tucked away in the wardrobe until next Christmas.
So if you're looking for comfortable party shoes that don't compromise on style, I hope you'll find something to love in our collection. Explore our Party Edit and find your perfect pair for the season ahead.
Love,
