When temps dip down into practically arctic territory, we know a thing or two about layering up. Thin turtlenecks under dresses and chunky-knit sweaters with skinnies are fast becoming our daily uniforms—but what should we turn to for a night out with friends? While we can layer and bundle everything from our ankles up, our usual party-ready peep-toe stilettos just won’t do. (Shame.)
To make sure your poor toes aren’t left out in the cold, we’ve rounded up the season’s best party shoes from ShoeDazzle, a subscription service that ships you a new pair of killer shoes of your choice every month (or not if you choose to). And while you can snap these babies up without a subscription, with shoes this good and prices so low, we’re really into signing up for a VIP membership (because who wouldn't want a pair of shoes they've been lusting over delivered to their door every month?)
From lavish jewel embellishments and rich hues to pearl accents and plush velvet, it’s all in the details—see and shop our top picks below, and rest assured you’ll be able to dance all night without risking frostbite.
For After-Work Cocktails
Beckett Bootie VIP Member Price ( $39.95 )We adore the sleek, minimalistic design of these glam booties that effortlessly take you from desk to drinks. Flaunt them with slim-fitting cropped trousers and a flirty peplum top.
For Disco-Themed Dance Parties
Gigi Block Heel Bootie VIP Member Price ($39.95)The rich Bordeaux shade and lush finish of these block-heel booties are ideal for all-night dance parties. Go mod with a plaid miniskirt in a subtle neutral hue and a slim-fitting high-neck sweater.
For the Last-Minute Party You Forgot to Buy a Dress For
Hadlee Heeled Boots VIP Member Price ($44.95)Give your ensemble some extra oomph with these metallic boots. This mega-watt slouchy style shines on its own, so a classic black shirtdress or faded skinny jeans and chunky sweater provide the perfect contrast.
For Hosting a Dinner Party Where There’s Table Settings
Michelle Pearl-Accent Flat VIP Member Price ($39.95)Elegantly dress up a dinner party look—even if you’re assisting the chef—with these luxe, comfy loafers. Accent the pearl-embellished heel and slim silhouette with flowing velvet pants in a rich jewel tone topped with a slightly cropped wool sweater.
For a Long-Awaited Girls’ Night Out
Olivia Thigh-High Corset Boots VIP Member Price ($49.95)These dramatic over-the-knee boots with lace-up detailing and a stiletto heel need to be taken out. Opt for a cozy sweaterdress layered with a floor-dusting coat for a polished look that’s perfect for dinner and drinks with the ladies.
For the Third Date
Uri Heeled Boot VIP Member Price ($49.95)Turn heads with these sultry black patent-faux-leather heels featuring a 3/4-back zipper that’s totally reminiscent of seamed stockings. For a chic spin on the typical date-night outfit, pair these boots with a textured miniskirt-and-jacket set.
For a Chic Holiday Soirée
Valerie Embellished Back Pump VIP Member Price ($39.95)Plush velvet heels adorned with elegant jewels in a dreamy shade of pink? Yes, please! Wear these with a muted metallic slip dress and knee-length faux-fur coat—holiday party perfection.
For Your Holiday Gift Exchange With Your S.O.
Wendy Fur Pom-Pom Heel VIP Member Price ($39.95)For a romantic dinner date, opt for these posh heels embellished with faux fur and pom-poms. Add a sleek black skirt and a silk cami topped with a cropped velvet jacket, and voilà—the epitome of sophistication.
For the Spontaneous Night Out
Takisha VIP Member Price ($44.95)Step past the bar’s velvet ropes in these shimmering knee-high boots. The slouchy style and chunky block heel are perfect for transitioning from the bar to the dance floor. Pair them with leather skinnies and a delicate semi-sheer mesh top.
