Your shoes can make or break the perfect party look. Picking the right pair is almost as important as picking the right outfit. "Stilettos are usually the most preferred party picks but may not always be the most practical option if you will be dancing or standing for hours," says stylist Payal Hindocha. "The year has been interesting in terms of shoe styles as there are multiple options available. Of late, even Indian wear like ghaghara skirts are being paired with funky printed sports shoes. The key is knowing how to get it right and not go overboard. It’s vital to balance the outfit and the shoes. For instance, a plain white shirt worn with a heavy lehenga can add a Western touch to your look and sneakers with glitter on them can offset this perfectly," she adds.

Dress up that LBD
"Sports shoes go best with the LBD. Pop colours, prints and glitter variety are acceptable at most parties and make for casual, funky combinations," says Hindocha.
