Rather than regretting that you looked like a wallflower or an overglazed turkey this Christmas, our tips will ensure you will look glam – tastefully, of course

Let those shoes shine

Remember what we said on glitter earlier? One of the best places to ramp up the glitzy feel is on your shoes. Go for megawatt sparkle or add a clip-on in the front of your heel that adds some drama. If there is plenty of socializsng at your Christmas parties, ensure you pick out the heels with a platform on the front so the pitch is more comfortable.

While you are at that, tell your man to get the shoe shine out. All shoe and no shine makes Jack a dull boy.
