Holiday party season is upon us—do you know what you’re wearing yet? Once you find that perfect sparkly dress or going-out suit, the next step to completing your party look is picking out the right shoes. That said, we’re pretty excited about one trend, in particular, that we’ve been seeing all over our feeds for months: purple heels.
From kitten-heel slingbacks to sculptural mules, variations of purple have been gracing the feet of fashion people everywhere. Think deep violets and pastel lavenders and periwinkles. (Hello, Pantone Color of the Year!) Naturally, we’re fully ready to lean into this trend ASAP, so we did a little digging at some of our favorite shopping destinations on the internet.
Ahead, we rounded up the 25 chicest purple heels of the season so that you can put your best foot forward at your upcoming marathon of holiday soirées. Keep scrolling to check out our picks, starting at just $50.
