Do yourself a favour and invest in these cheerful, canary yellow platforms — they’ll transform any party look from nice to knockout in a second. H& M, hm.com |

True to their brand name, they’re also appropriate for nearly any church occasion: weddings, baptisms … you get the idea. Gravity Pope, gravitypope.com | $520
