Holiday Shoe Ideas That Aren't Heels

This year, holiday dressing is all about daring as well as unexpected combinations. Think modern biker boots with diaphanous dresses shown at Alexander McQueen for Spring 2018, or sleek sneakers with sequin party dresses such as the ones at Louis Vuitton. Trade your sky high heels for shoes with function and a dash of street. The key to wearing festive flats and still looking party ready is to pick a pair that has texture. Nothing screams holiday more than velvets, embellishments, metallics and satin. Just make sure the shoes you choose are pin-sharp and pack some punch in shape and color. Don’t go for something obvious like jewel tones. The shades to love this year are either pops of red or muted pastels. Look to our red carpet rebel, Rhianna, who mixed her frothy blue Molly Goddard gown with a white sneaker. Casual? We think not. Check out the 5 shoe types to consider for your next rule breaking party ensemble and be prepared to be the biggest surprise this holiday season.
