Which Winter Party Shoe Are You?

This is a repost from my Forbes Lifestyle article which can be found here.

Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean you should call glamour winter dressing quits. January is officially the best time to brave the low digits in temperature and put your best party foot (and self) out for the world to admire. Here are the hottest shoes of the moment to carry you through the doldrums as well as what your choices of footwear say about you and your party style.

Christian Louboutin Daffodile

The queen of the party and the firm believer of “the higher the better”, you can only attend the party if Goose and Chris are present together with some foie gras and caviar. We don’t call it high maintenance, we simply call it “life”. After all, how do you party without a table, really?

Aquazzura Wild Thing

The style insider, you will never miss a pair of heels that combines sexy with subtleness – not forgetting the side bonus of fun with the tassels. Dance your night away without the pain of little mermaid – 10cm heels are considered sensible after all.

Poppy X Aquazzura By Poppy Delevingne

A dreamer and worshiper of all things sparkly, you love to look at the world through your rose-tinted glasses. And why not? The world is a much better place when everyone has a smile on their face and Cinderella’s slippers on their feet.

Christian Louboutin So Kate

You are the definition of sophistication and a pair of patent So Kate is so you. The 12cm heel height may kill you slightly after an hour, but the Wonder Woman never gives in. You are always the perfect host and a usual night of fun is more than likely to start in your 5-star dining room with a gourmet three course meal fit for a Michelin star restaurant, followed by champagne toasts with your guests overlooking the fabulous view in your fabulous living room.

Sophia Webster Evangeline Angle Wing

Quirky, fun, pretty and never turning down a shot of patron, you are equally content in a dive bar on the Lower East Side of Manhattan as you would be in the ball room at the Four Seasons. Everyone loves your sparkling personality and the never ending surprises in your style – enjoy your status as the leader of the fashion wolf pack.

Dior Dioressence Pumps

One of my personal favourites, so don’t call me biased on this one! Lady-like, elegant, sophisticated, confident, playful and girlie, Dior is everything and the Dioressence design reflects this. They may look simple with seemingly few changes in details, but they always capture onlookers attention without fail.

Dior Patent Calfskin Thigh High Boots With Translucent Heel

Sex appeal to the max and not a hint of trashiness, you are not one to shy away from fashion risks and prefer your outfits loud yet stylish. Attention seeking outfit however does not equal party queen, you will not entertain the idea of “one too many” and prefer to stay glamourous and on point throughout the night.

Gianvito Rossi Metallic Ankle Strap Heels

Simplicity is the essence of you, but so is a little naughtiness. The metallic gianvitto give you mile long legs with the class and elegance you adore, plus why would you get the state-of-the-art pedicure if it won’t for that you could showcase them all night?

Giuseppe Zanotti Diva

A admirer of the full on Italian charm, you are not afraid to show a bit of skin, or a lot. You are never the wall flower and neither are your shoes. Always the centre of attention wherever you go, and probably not just for your looks and outfit alone. It is the attitude that matters, darling.

Alaïa Cutout Suede Sandals

You are label driven and there’s nothing wrong with it if Alaïa is the chosen designer. You are likely to be Russian or an Upper East Sider from New York City. But regardless, you would not allow your winter party to go down without inviting the most fabulous crowd to celebrate at the most fabulous St. Regis event room which you have booked 28 months in advance.

Saint Laurent, Balmain, Alexander Wang and Givenchy’s It Shoes Of The Season

You are the girl who rocks the designer-grunge, punk-chic look with a bucket load of high fashion. You are the hipster princess that all hipsters aspire to be and you hang out at the coolest, least cliché and most happening places. And the DJs are always your friend. Make sure you Instagram everything whilst it is happening, because after all, did it really happen if it is not on Instagram?

You are not a trend follower and neither are you a big fan of setting them. You like the demureness and style that comes with the brand and you like to dress your children as a mini version of you. You are probably not going to be the table top dancing enthusiastic but that’s ok, because frankly, that has never been your thing.
