Forget those achingly high heels for a night out, this season flats are just as glam. Opt for sparkle, studs and animal prints for an instant style update. Who knew wearing flat shoes on the dance floor could be so fun? iFashion picks our favs, just make sure at least one pair makes its way onto your Christmas list!

Go wild with our favourite pair from DollBoutique.co.uk – studded, check. Leopard print, check. As fierce as sky-scraping heels minus the pain, check, check, check.

Or for something a little more dressy, tap the night away in these shiny, studded Miss Selfridge brogues. We love the edgy gold heel, making a serious style statement as you dance the night away.

What better time to get into the party spirit? Let it go all the way down to your feet with our favourites:

Shimmy, shimmy shake in these Toppers glitter loafers. Or for something a little more feminine try these ballerina flats. Encrusted in gold sequins, they have both comfort and the wow factor!

Be achingly on trend with metallic, snake skin and ankle straps rolled into one beautiful (and so very cheap) pair of flats from Zara.

Or for the fairytale evening why not try these studded red velvet slippers? Far too pretty for the bedroom, wear them proud on a glam night out as a comfy alternative to heels.

To stand out from the crowd, choose these cutesy rose pumps in vibrant red from Dorothy Perkins. Or for some trend wearing, you will definitely be the coolest girl in the club wearing these royal blue Topshop Brothel creepers.
