Warm Heels For New Year’s Eve

by Rosie Narasaki

Though it's lauded as one of the best partyin' days of the year, NYE provides a conundrum: How the heck do you stay warm in your best party clothes? Feet especially get chilly, with flimsy sandals taking center stage. So, what are some warm heels for New Year's Eve?

There's no doubt about it, looking good is definitely something of a NYE priority — but so are warm feet, especially when you're out partying all night in what's essentially the dead of winter. Have no fear, though: Just because you want your feet to stay cozy doesn't mean you have to downgrade your personal style. Luckily, boots and such are more popular than ever right now, and there are tons of different options, and there's something to appeal to every type of sensibility, be it vampy, quirky, or anything in between (or both, actually). Pair them with everything from your favorite sequined mini dress, to that new satin wrap dress from Reformation x Haim you've been dying to rock, and you're pretty much good to go.

So, whether you're looking to party it up in stilettos, or you want to keep things a little more sensible in chunky platforms, read on — there are warm-footed NYE options for everyone on this list.
