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 Gucci and Brunello Cucinelli’s must-have metallic creations to Jimmy Choo’s glittering ballerinas and Le Monde Beryl’s 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.
