The festive season is in full swing, and with it comes the inevitable question of what to wear. Whether it’s the office Christmas party, dinner with family, or drinks with friends, finding the right pair of shoes can make all the difference. When the evenings are darker and the temperatures drop, we often reach for our reliable boots, but this time of year also calls for something with a little more polish.
Enter: the court heel.
A true festive staple, court heels bring a sense of occasion to any outfit. They’re elegant, versatile, and instantly elevate even the simplest look. At Gabor, our edit of court shoes is designed to balance timeless design with comfort and wearability, so you can feel confident from day to night, wherever your plans take you.
Below, we’ve curated a list of our favourite court shoes that will see you through every Christmas event in your calendar, from office parties to festive nights out.
The Work Christmas Party with Daze
The work Christmas party, the one event that always sneaks up on the calendar. You want to feel festive but still polished. This calls for the Daze, which provides the perfect balance between professionalism and personality.
Crafted in soft suede, its rich navy tone exudes a refined yet modern feel. The low 6cm heel provides a perfect lift, while the slip-on design and wider fit makes it a comfortable choice for a long evening that might start at the office and end on the dance floor.
Style it with: A satin skirt, your favourite top and a suede blazer for effortless sophistication.
Dinner Reservations with Fame
For the more relaxed gatherings, the family dinners or spontaneous pub meet-ups, comfort is key, but so is a touch of glamour. The Fame court shoe combines both.
The glossy black patent finish adds polish to any look, while the 5cm heel provides just the right amount of lift without compromising on comfort. Think of it as your dressier alternative to a loafer; sleek, reliable, and ready for whatever the evening brings.
Style it with: A black long-sleeved top, some dark denim jeans and your favourite winter jacket for a look that’s casual yet elevated.
The Diary-Filled Days with Editor
The festive season is full of moments that call for something special, from annual pantomimes to date nights. The Editor court shoe is the classic black pair you’ll reach for when you want to feel dressed up, but still comfortable.
The slingback, accompanied by a buckle fastening, frames the foot beautifully, while the 4cm heel offers a subtle boost that’s easy to wear all day. Finished with a suede upper to add warmth and depth, makes it a perfect match for soft neutrals and winter textures. Choose the Editor, whatever the occasion this December.
Style it with: A midi dress, chunky belt and a blazer for understated charm.
Festive Nights with Betty
The calendar highlight, the festive catch-up with friends that’s long overdue. Fulfilled with life updates, hours of chatting and a guaranteed period to let your hair down. For evenings that deserve a little extra sophistication, the Betty in natural leopard is your go-to.
Its leopard print upper adds that touch of glamour, and the soft suede finish gives it a luxurious edge. Paired with a 3cm heel for a lift that does not compromise on comfort. This is the pair that makes a simple outfit feel complete, whether you’re heading out for cocktails or dinner downtown.
Style it with: Denim jeans, a basic tee and a long jacket for a cohesive look.
