What shoes with this dress help please?

I'm due to go out on my works Christmas party on Friday. On a whim last night I bought this dress online. I'm now struggling to think what sort of shoe could go with it. Please help! I don't need an exact shoe but some examples of styles please as I'll only have one opportunity to go shopping for an hour on Wednesday.

We've got an activity booked (darts club or something) and then a walk across town for food. I imagine drinks will follow in a bar somewhere after.

I don't want sandals (despite me owning a pair of gorgeous glittery ones!) because a) it's forecast to get really cold, b) the walk across town never suits sandal wear at my age, and c) I think I'll be standing or walking most of the night. Don't mind a small heel but want to feel comfy on my feet.

Help!! Thanks stylish MNers ❤️

They are really nice! And the heels a bit sturdier than the next ones. Hope they do your ankles justice, try them and see!

Dress is lovely too by the way!

I would try with both clear and dark tights. Might steer away from patterned if you go for textured patent as the dress is textured too?

I agree with Spangly, try both tights and see which ones you prefer.

I've ordered them! 🙈
Have ordered the sparkly pair and the patent pair and will return the ones I least prefer. Managed to get them down to £37.50 per pair with a 20% off code plus a £5 new customer code. 99p for 48 hour delivery. They're due here Thursday!
Thanks all. You've been amazing x

Noted 🫡 Thanks so much. I'm hoping I won't look like I've got chicken ankles if I go for natural! But also feeling like black tights would be fine as the shoes themselves are sparkly or patent which will show up against black tights anyway now.

I thought you might say that! How very unlike me this is! But it's nice to feel girly and have the excuse for a change. Thanks for for helping to make it fun
