New Delhi: The festive season is the perfect time to get dressed up and wear the most stylish clothes. For each woman festival is the time to showcase beauty with glamour and wear the best attire that matches her personality. While we all want to spread sparkle with the outfits we are wearing, but do not want to compromise on the comfort of wearing the most cosy footwear that will help you walk or stand for long hours.

Without compromising on style also you can look classy and wear the comfiest yet stylish footwear, only if you know how to style them and which pair complements best for each outfit type.

Footwear guide for the festive season

Gaurav Srivastava adds, “Design houses are stepping up to this shift, reimagining festive footwear with wearability at its core. Block heels and sculptural platforms lend stature without strain, while kitten heels strike that perfect equilibrium between sophistication and ease. Even flats, once overlooked, are now statement-makers—dressed in metallic sheens, crystal-studded straps, and artisanal embroidery that rival the allure of stilettos.”

This season’s key trend is versatility: pairs that complement both a heritage Banarasi and a sleek cocktail dress, allowing women to glide from one celebration to the next with grace. The spotlight is firmly on shoes that carry you through hours of festivities without robbing you of your ease.

1. Saree – Kolhapuris

After Prada took it to the world, Indians already knew how to style the sarees in a classic combo that can never be wrong in fashion as well as comfort, and will make you steal the spotlight like always. Elevate your festive saree look and walk or stand for hours without the worry of comfort with festive footwear choice.

2. Lehenga – Jutti and Embroidered heels

Lehengas are all about grandeur, and your footwear should complement that opulence. Choose embroidered juttis for a regal yet comfortable look or crystal-studded heels for a more dramatic finish. If your lehenga is heavily detailed, go for subtle footwear shades like nude, gold, or ivory.

3. Anarkali with Kitten heels

The Anarkali’s flowy silhouette pairs best with footwear that enhances its royal aura. Mojaris or kitten heels in brocade or velvet textures lend a sophisticated charm. For festive evenings, opt for pearl or mirror embellishments that subtly shimmer with your every step.

4. Indo-Western outfit with Wedges

For fusion wear like crop tops with palazzos or dhoti pants, wedges, and strappy sandals bring the perfect mix of comfort and flair. Go for bold colours or metallic accents to keep your look modern and festive-ready without compromising on comfort.

5. Sharara or Gharara with platform heels or potli juttis

The volume of a sharara or gharara demands footwear that offers balance and style. Platform heels give you the perfect lift without discomfort, while potli-inspired juttis with sequins or zari work keep the ethnic essence alive.

This festive season, your shoes are not just an accessory to your outfit; they are the foundation of how you show up, how you dance, and how you embody the spirit of celebration. Step into pairs that let you move endlessly, glow effortlessly, and most importantly, feel like yourself.
