It goes without saying that the Christmas season probably has a big party or reunion scheduled every other day on your calendar. While we’re sure you want to get all dressed up and look your best (better stock up on holiday wardrobe essentials while you’re at it), you may also want to be practical about your outfit picks. With traffic intensified, tons of titas to catch up with, and countless dinners to hop to and from, the least you could do is let your toes relax. So why not swap out those torturous heels and restricting oxfords and head to the party in a comfy (but stylish) pair of shoes instead? We round up a few picks, from sneakers to trainers to slip-ons, perfect for your next get-together.
Here are 10 casual shoes you can wear to your next big party:
