From One Fashion Person to Another, You Need to Shop These On-Trend Holiday Shoes
We're wrapping (and wearing) this foolproof footwear this holiday season.
I’m a footwear fanatic, and my love for shoes shines brightest this time of year. There’s something about the sparkle of the holidays that inspires me to step up my footwear game for every outfit. A jeweled pump? Sign me up. A kitten heel with the largest bow you’ve ever seen? Why not? ’Tis the season to dress up, after all, and no one knows that better than my stylish colleagues. While we have unique styles, there’s one thing we can all agree on: Nine West has the most confidence-boosting footwear on the market. Whether it’s a knee-high moto boot or cherry-red slingback, this buzzy brand’s on-trend shoes make every holiday look a 10 out of 10. Keep scrolling to shop the pairs my co-workers are styling and gifting this holiday season.
“Come 6 p.m., my best friend is usually headed to a dinner date or party, so I’ll be gifting her these chic pumps for nights out. The ankle strap and pointy toe are so timeless, but the embellishment adds the perfect touch of eye-catching sparkle.” — Emma Walsh, Associate Beauty Editor
“My best friend has a growing collection of Western-inspired shoes, so I know she’ll be ecstatic to unwrap this pair as a holiday gift. The embroidery and pointed toe give these booties a vintage feel—it’s a stylish detail that will complement any casual, everyday outfit.” — Raina Mendonça, Associate Fashion Editor
“My style is largely influenced by Zoë Kravitz, and after seeing her wear purple shoes with an all-neutral ensemble, I had to get a pair of my own. These slingback flats are perfect, and I’ll be happily gifting them to myself.” — Mendonça
