Imagine glamour and comfort colliding, no pain and most definitely gain. Party flats offer all the pleasure and joy of dressing up with none of the drawbacks of high-heels – and definitely no more (shudder) walking home barefoot. A versatile shoe, party flats are the perfect finishing touch to jazz up a low-key outfit for daytime festivities or dance the night away in glitzy eveningwear.
From Jimmy Choo and Miu Miu’s must-have metallic creations to Manolo Blahnik’s glittering ballerinas and tactile Mary Janes, this season’s flats have you covered for the festive season, from dawn ’til dusk. So should a quiet festive drink turn into a raucous night on the town, keep spirits high by sliding into a pair of fabulously outlandish party flats, which will look as good at a black tie soirée as they will with a set of luxe pyjamas in your living room.
