If you thought winter meant you could stop your monthly pedicure trips, think again. With party season on the horizon, there are so many reasons to kick off your tights-and-boots combo and step straight into heels.

We know what you’re thinking, the idea of putting on a pair of heels can actually put you off the idea of a night out – until you see Zara’s latest shoe collection, that is. With the mainline collection having affordable strappy heels, mules and platforms and the premium edit Blue Collection comprising styles that could be mistaken for designer pairs, you’re spoilt for choice. Add to this the Special Prices section (find it highlighted in pink at zara.com) with under-£30 pairs and there’s no excuse not to join in with the festivities.

It’s not just Zara the Stylist fashion team have picked up on; it’s the high street as a whole. Topshop is bringing back 00s mules (yes really), Dune has midi heels that will actually be your new 24/7 style and Reserved has an under-£20 pair that will go with any outfit for day or after-dark.
