Slingback Heels
A slingback heel is a must-have staple shoe that will see you through any season. They are especially great for those looking for a versatile shoe that will take you from the office to any Christmas party as they're extremely chic and ultra comfortable due to their sleek mini heel.

Ankle Strap Heels
An ankle strap heel is a great 90s staple with fastening at the ankle offers some extra support. There are various options to secure your heels on, and they come in different styles, from a totally vintage peep toe to a classic stiletto. Pair them with a mini dress and a blazer, and you're good to go. Pro tip: These heels also look incredible layered over tights.

Party Flats
Earlier this year, ballet flats cemented their return to our wardrobe. Getting some cult attention with Alaia's embellished flats, they are strictly making their way into our Autumn/Winter 2024 capsule wardrobes. Pair them with a long dress as seen at Prada's AW24 for a chic, yet comfortable look.

Over-the-knee Boots
For those who, like me, get cold very easily, an over-the-knee boot style is a great must-have for any holiday event. Morning breakfast, lunch, or office party? They will instantly make any outfit look polished and elevated. Styled under a sheer mini dress and long coat at Fendi's AW24 show, this look is definitely going on my Pinterest outfit inspo board.

Wild Card Shoes
Who doesn't love a wild card? Party season is my favourite time of the year to experiment with my wardrobe and as someone who doesn't tend to be too daring with my wardrobe, a wild card shoe option is a great way to give your look a playful twist. From a fuzzy flat to a tinsel heel, count me in.

Mules
For those opting for a minimal yet chic look, mules offer an understated silhouette that offers the comfort of a wedge with the sleekness of a kitten heel. Coming in different colours, textures, and prints, seamlessly pair one with a sequinned dress or trouser suit, and you're all set.
