Christmas parties- will you wear heels?

[BangingOn]

Like many people I’ve moved away from wearing heels everyday since CoVID. I mostly wear loafers or boots and the only heels I’ve worn all year are heeled ankle boots. However, I have a couple of black tie Christmas parties coming up and I don’t feel right in flats with that type of dress but my collection of heels feels so dated.

What footwear do people go for with evening wear now?

Following as I’m unsure too and feel shoes really make the outfit. Have seen a lot of this style of shoe recommended (Essie inspired) but I prefer closed toe in winter.

Esska not Essie

I really like the platform but can’t do ankle straps as they make my legs look stumpy. You’ve reminded me of some Office shoes from years ago, platform courts that I owned in about 6 different colours. Caves I think they were called… maybe something like that would work.

I never stopped so yes, I will be.

I have some gold mules from M&S that are comfortable for heels, unfortunately I think they stopped making them.

I doubt I'll be going to any that aren't casual so probably won't have a need. Interesting though though, I haven't worn heels in years now and prefer not to but nothing lends itself that well to a party dress so I probably would if I had occasion to wear one.

Esska seems to be everywhere at the moment. At least they look reasonably comfortable- expensive though.

I really like these from Eska and think they could work well with my dress, but I have splurged on the dress already so didn’t want to spend that much on shoes:
