I Spent Hours Looking At Zara's Party Shoes—These Pairs Blew My Mind

Here at Who What Wear UK, we're in full party mode, and, no, that doesn't mean swigging on champagne at 3 p.m. on a Thursday (sadly). It does, however, mean we've spent many hours scouring the shops to make sure we're up-to-date with all the latest dress drops and party trends. Our latest discovery? Zara is delivering the chicest party shoes right now. We're talking velvet and rhinestones, pointed-toed kitten heels and plenty of fabulous flats.

Zara is the place to go if you're looking for a pair of trend-led (read: non-tacky) shoes minus the designer price tag. I spent hours looking at the brand's impressive offering, analysing every tiny detail. Below, you'll find the best of the best, broken down by some of the season's key footwear trends, too. Scroll on to see Zara's party shoes across boots, heels and flats, adorned with everything from foil to rhinestones to velvet.

1. Fun Boots

These boots feature the perfect amount of slouch. 

Shine on in silver knee highs. 

The satin fabrication will shimmer in the light. 

2. Silver Finishes

Square toes are my love language. 

Keep things classic in pointed-toe courts. 

3. Sumptuous Velvet

These will look so chic with a tailored pencil skirt. 

I'll wear these mules with a cream blazer and loose-fit jeans for a low-key party look. 

These went straight into my basket. 

4. Fancy Flats

The cream is cute, while the black version looks chic. 

Use these gem-covered flats to dress up casual looks. 

These shoes come in a fabulous leopard print, too. 

Just add cropped trousers and a satin shirt. 

5. Covered in Rhinestones

These look so much more premium than their price tag. 

Wear these with a miniskirt and a plain white tee for an offbeat party look. 

You'll never regret buying a pair of fancy sandals for special occasions. 

6. Towering Platforms

I love the high/low combination of platforms and jeans. 

The fluted heel and crossover straps give these platforms even more retro appeal. 

Tick off two trends in one with a velvet pair. 

In case gold just isn't your thing.
