2. BLOCK IT!
A stunning and extremely eye-catching trend to latch on to during this year’s party fest is the block heel. Chunky, comfortable (especially for the long after-hours parties) and chic, comfier than the stilletoes yet high enough for heels, block heels are a must-have on everything from mid-calf boots and pumps to sandals. In a variety of designs, shades and patterns (zebra and snake prints, brocade, patchwork) possible, this style is a blessing in gorgeous disguise for your feet. Block heels are being touted on catwalks in reptile skin prints, embellished with studs or in classy suede. Wear your block heels with knee-high thin socks or stockings for a little quirk. Leave the stiletto route this party season and get on to the block heel wagon.

3. HELLO HEELS!
The best way to elevate an ensemble has always been quite literal: Add a heel. A stashed pair of stilettos underneath an office desk can be the key to taking your attire from cubicle ready to revved up for date night, in which a mere matter of additional inches can create the illusion of miles of endless legs. If you’re a fan of platforms build up the inches on the heels, add in a 5-6-inch sole region, combine the style with a few other trends (tiger prints and sequins) and you have something very David Bowie and Marc Jacobs. The heel is and will always remain your secret weapon to adding a dash of sex appeal to any look.

Don’t hang up your short boots just yet. A must-have for shoe zealots, boots have emerged as the favoured footwear this party season. Mid-calf boots is the most prominent trend on the runways after the over-the-ankle boots, while the knee-high and thigh-high also reign supreme. Coach is among the many designer houses that seem to side with this top trend. The stylish repertoire also includes moto, ankle strap, wedge booties and shin-guard boots in colours like fawn, beige, tan and black and prints. Textures like snakeskin, soft leather, slouchy suede, embellished with crystals, metallic studs and even polka dots are amping up the chic quotient on this trend. Take your pick because these boots are not going anywhere anytime soon.
