As Christmas and New Year's Eve get ever closer, the need to vamp up our wardrobes gets stronger - just as our wallets deplete under an avalanche of Christmas shopping. Fortunately, we've never seen quite so many cheap party shoes on the high street before, and there's a huge range of styles to suit all tastes. Here's the latest installment in our run-down of the best 25 affordable party shoes out there, featuring all you need to step out in style.
This Week's Top Picks:
Blue is a really popular colour for shoes at the moment, and we can promise you it's going to be even bigger next season. Why not get ahead of the curve with a pair of platforms in a bright and electric shade to make you an instant party hit? What have you got to lose? Exactly £24.99 if you go to New Look and pick up this pair...
We love the 'Cheryl' jewel-heeled peep-toe to bits when we first saw it on sale at £39.99, but we like it even more now it's been reduced to a staggeringly cheap and cheerful £20. Available from New Look in blush satin or black, it's a Miu Miu-inspired style that will add a note of classic chic to your LDB. Wear with a flash of red lipstick and some vintagey styling for a sweet and romantic effect.
Working that jewel-tone trend? You can't go wrong with these eye-catching purple suedette platform pumps from Peacocks: they're yours for just £25. One of the season's hottest silhouettes, the thick platform and sole, low cut at the sides is a surefire hit for party season. We'd love to see this worn with some emerald greens and plenty of colourful jewellery.
