Party season is officially underway.
From the best brands to shop for partywear, to cowl neck dresses, and designer winter coats that are worth the investment, the H! Fashion experts have been busy all season finding the chicest pieces for you to get your glamourous A-game on this winter.
This season is often a time when people are more experimental than ever with their sartorial agendas - end a statement pair of shoes is an outfit must-have.
This doesn't mean they can't be timeless. There are so many brilliant pairs available on the market right now, regardless of preferred style or budget. Of course, the number of diamantés and embellished pairs is endless, particularly as they're a major trend this season, but for those who either want to eschew the quintessential sparkles or usually adopt a less bolshy style agenda, satin pairs, decadent colours like burgundy, espresso brown, and elevated black pairs are also aplenty.

I am head over heels for these new season Jimmy Choo's. Combining mesh material and diamantes, they are as versatile as they are glamorous, perfect for pairing with any outfit.
Forever Comfort® Platform Flare Bow Sandals

Next's Forever Comfort® range us my ultimate high street go-to, because they truly give maximum comfort all night long. I love these satin pink-ish nude heels for a touch of whimsical femininity, with the addition of a chunky heel to keep your feet sweet whatever the occasion.

Zara
Rhinestones are all the rage right now, but I love how the beige colourway makes the glam more subtle than a harsh black.
Black Corsage Stiletto Heel Court Shoes

When I saw these, I could not believe they were Public Desire. Its giving Loewe meets Jimmy Choo with the corsage detailing and string of pearls.
95mm Audrey Satin Heels
Mach & Mach
Not everybody likes a pointed-toe shoe, but everybody loves Mach & Mach. This new season silhouette is completely different to its classic diamante bow courts, the black satin and crystals ooze sophistication.
Green Satin Slingbacks with Pompoms
Club L
Though these green heels epitomise NYE drama, I can also see them with a white mini dress and statement handbag on a summer's night in Como. I love the OTT pompom.
Metallic Leather Slingback Pumps
Prada
Prada's slingback pumps will forever and always have a special place in my heart - A timeless classic that will last a lifetime and go with everything. However, when I saw these metallic gold options I couldn't help but envision them with a sleek black slip dress and a slew of chunky gold jewellery for a sleek soirée.

Gucci
Burgundy and crystals are both major right now, so combining the two is the perfect combo for adding sophisticated glamour to a look.

A pop of pink makes everything better. These mid-heeled slingbacks from River Island look way more expensive than they are, and bring equal amounts of flirty femininity and drama.

Jump on the mesh trend this party season with these divine Christan Louboutin options adorned with eye-catching hand-placed stress. Pair with trousers, a mini dress or even a set of silk feather fringed pyjamas for a gals' night out.
Ravaged Sandal Silver

Adorned with intricately placed rhinestones, these heels are the definition of a Cinderella heel. I love that there's also an ankle strap as I feel that elongates the leg when wearing a mini skirt or dress.
Queena Floral Appliques Slingback Pumps
JW PEI
Slingback silhouettes will forever be one of my favourite pump styles and these dainty floral adorned options are both comfy and ultra-cute.
Personally, I love a rounded-toe option, especially when made from twinkling metallic silver. These Dear Frances heels are both elegant, elevated and overly high-fashion.

Taking a leaf out of Nicola Peltz's sartorial style book, these sky-high platform heels are sure to command attention at any opulent event.
If partying all night is on the cards for you this festive season, its essential that your footwear fo choice is both comfortable and cute. These mid-heeled mules are the perfect pop of colour to add to any ensemble and are comfortable enough to ensure you don't need to call an Uber premature.
How I chose the heels:
- Style: As this shopping piece is in celebration of party season, all designs are a little more eccentric than the usual - some just slightly elevated, and some wildly OTT, so that there's hopefully something to suit all tastes. Despite being completely different in style, they're all pieces I would wear myself and pieces that are either on-trend right now or completely timeless.
- Budget: Whether you're after a high street bargain or an investment designer pair, I've tried to find pieces that start from less than £35 and range up to around £1,000 to ensure there's something for every budget.
- Heel type: Everybody has different preferences when it comes to heeled shoes, so whether you prefer sleek stilettos, '70s platforms or mules, I've chosen a variety of silhouettes.
