For men, the safest and most polished options are:

• Oxford formal shoes
  
• Formal derby shoes
  
• Formal loafers
  
• Black party wear shoes
  
• Formal shoes for men without laces
  

Women can choose heels, clean metallic flats or elegant sandals that bring a bit of shine to the evening.

If it’s semi-formal

Office parties or team dinners usually fall here, not too formal, not too casual.

• Men can try party wear, casual shoes, casual loafers or casual sneakers.
  
• Women can lean into block heels, wedges or classic ballet flats.
  

If it’s a relaxed family or home gathering

Comfort is your best friend in this case.

Footwear that works well includes:

• Casual sneakers shoes for men
  
• Casual lacing shoes
  
• Casual shoes without laces
  
• Casual sandals
  
• Soft loafers
  

Kids should wear whatever lets them run around, party wear shoes for boys or girls, with flexible soles and easy closures.
