Keep it Chic in Kitten Heels

We’re kicking things off with a shoe that can take you straight from dinner to the dance floor: the timeless kitten heel. Our top pick is our schuh Sybill Buckle Kitten in black – with a sophisticated silhouette, classic pointed toe, and the most versatile colourway of all, this is your new go-to for effortless day-to-night vibes.

Looking to add some shine to your festive ‘fits? The schuh Soraya Court in pewter is the perfect choice. These slingback kitten heels feature a pointed toe and head-turning metallic pewter colourway – the ideal finishing touch to any shimmery Christmas looks.

For that lowkey luxe vibe, the schuh Sage Buckle Slingback Court in leopard print  is a total no-brainer. With a slightly taller heel than its kitten-heel counterparts, this chic style keeps the classic slingback court silhouette, levelled up with a stunning dark brown leopard print finish. You’ll be reaching for these ones on repeat all festive season long – and beyond.

Go Full-Out-Festive

If you want your shoes to practically scream festive vibes, we’ve also got you covered. The schuh Scottie Peep Toe in red is giving Mrs. Claus (but make it fashion), crafted with plush burgundy velvet, a cute bow detail, and a cute peep toe. These stilettos were literally made for Christmas party season.

Party season means glitter everywhere – and we’re so here for it. The SIMMI Laveen Glitter in black is the perfect way to add some glam to your festive looks, with its easy-to-style black colourway complete with dazzling silver rhinestone straps.

Looking to turn some heads? We’ve got just the thing: the schuh Sabina Platform in gold. Think: bold platform heel, open toe, and a dreamy golden metallic finish – plus a cushioned footbed, so you can dance all night without regrets. We’re obsessed.

Level Up in Ankle Boots

Looking for a day-to-night staple this festive season? We’ve got you. Ankle boots are the move – equal parts versatile and party-ready – and the schuh Bexley Kitten in red is one of our faves for very good reason. With its pointed toe, kitten heel, and burgundy croc-textured finish, this boot instantly elevates any look – from a sequined dress to your classic jeans-and-a-nice-top combo.

Feeling a little wild? The schuh Bexley Kitten Heel in leopard print  delivers the same kitten heel and pointed toe silhouette, levelled up with a statement leopard print finish. Perfectly paired with everything from dark wash denim to your go-to LBD, you’ll be reaching for these again and again this season.

With a thin flared heel, chic ankle boot silhouette, and super on-trend chocolate brown colourway, this standout boot literally looks good with everything. 

Stand Out with Knee High Boots

Loving the boot vibe, but looking for something a little more? A fresh pair of knee high boots will be your new party season MVP. We’re starting off strong with the schuh Doja Platform Knee High in black: a classic knee high silhouette meets a chunky heel and slight platform sole for an endlessly versatile, effortlessly cool fit.
