The holiday season has arrived, and I'm already thinking about all of the cool shoe trends that are on the horizon. There are a number of trends this season that are majorly festive which I personally can't wait to slip into, even if that means getting dressed up in a pair of holiday party shoes in my living room.

No matter which of these shoe trends you choose to wear, the beauty of them is that they all look equally good with jeans or a fancy dress. Thanks to that versatility, there's no doubt in my mind that you'll wear the holiday party shoes highlighted below well beyond this season. (Yes, even the new wave of crystal shoes are very wearable.)

While animal prints may not seem like the most obvious choice for a holiday shoe, what I love about them is how unexpected they are. Add them to a neutral look and your outfit instantly pops.
