14 Party Dress & Shoes Combos To See You Through December

Now that our calendars are chock-full of work holiday parties and festive nights out, not only are we having to schedule our hair wash days in accordance, but we're also having to pull together some bangin' party outfits, too. So allow some festive-fun styling to commence...

Firstly, there is no set formula for dressing up for a holiday party but if you're struggling to come up with outfits for your various festivities, why not strip it back to basics? Try sticking to the foolproof combination of a dress and kicks — whether that's platform heels (to save your arches) or knee-high boots (this season's trendiest boot length) — and you're practically sorted. If you're in need of more specifics, like what kind of heels to wear with a floor-length dress, or the dress style best suited to your coveted cowboy boots, we've collated some of our favourite recent looks from creators on the 'gram to give you a dose of inspiration.

Scroll on for 14 party-ready dress-and-shoes looks, along with some hand-picked styles that you can shop now.
