10 Sparkly Shoes for New Year's Eve and Beyond

last updated 13 August 2019

Here’s the thing: When it comes to style, I’m a devoted minimalist. Yet I have an unexpected obsession with glitter. Glittery shoes, to be exact. At first, I tried to cover up my glitter addiction (like a vegetarian who occasionally sneaks a piece of chicken). How could I drift so drastically from my timeless style to fall for a soupçon of sparkle? But then Chanel made those boots. You know—the knee-high ones (pictured) street style stars have been pulling off with absolute perfection all season.

Suddenly a slew of sparkle appeared on the S/S 2018 runways, thanks to Victoria Beckham, Coach, and Oscar de la Renta, igniting a twinkle in my eye with their shimmery feast of shoes. I’ve finally surrendered to my sparkly side (it is the holidays, after all), and I encourage you to do the same. Ahead, see our glitziest picks of statement-making boots, heels, flats and more–perfect for New Year’s Eve and beyond.
