Sure, a new dress is fun but have you tried a new pair of heels? The dopamine hit is unmatched and is a more sustainable and affordable way to update your party look this silly season.
From the infamous kitten heel that is everyone’s go-to right now, to the modern wedge or maybe something more demure like the point, there is no one rule this party season as to what shoe you should have on your radar.
One thing for sure is that the stiletto is still very much in the chat, especially after Eva Longoria recently stepped out in strappy heels that simply perfected her entire look.
So whether you’re demure, very cutesy or defying gravity in sky-high heels these dance-floor-ready pairs are currently trending and will remain so all summer long. Not sure what style goes with your look? We share some fashion-editor-approved tips and tricks to ensure you’re entire fit for end-of-year celebrations is on point.
90s Kitten
Your feet will thank you in these low-heeled must-haves. Look for 90s detailing like a thin mule strap with bows, flowers or mesh. Style these with anything from a mini to party pant.

Wedged In
For all-day and night comfort choose this season’s sleek wedge. Skip the boho styles and try a more futuristic, polished version, ideal for adding length to your look without the need for a stiletto. We love it with a floaty pant this summer.

Sky’s The Limit
There is always a place for a stiletto and this season it’s all about the strap and the toe. Make your ties and straps narrow and look for a square toed sole. Embellishments like a bow, buckles or a flower are also a hit. Let these shine with a midi dress or jean.
