For Australians who yearn for cold and cosy year-end celebrations, embracing the festive spirit during the wintry month of July is a wonderful way to brighten up grey, frosty days. Making holiday magic in the middle of the year has become popular Down Under — from indulging in scrumptious dinners to merry decorations and dressing for warm, cheer-filled gatherings, the “Australian Christmas” is a great opportunity for friends and family to get together and be jolly.

An easy way to get into the holiday spirit in July is to deck out in festive colours, such as red, white, gold and silver. To make a striking statement, step out in our metallic croc-effect T-bar pumps in gold — wear them with socks to amp up the cosy factor. You can also opt for patent crossover-strap Mary Janes in cheerful cherry red to elevate your special-occasion looks with subtle shine or complement boldly coloured clothes with fresh white accessories.

Black and white bags and shoes are perfect for anchoring joyful winter looks that include eye-catching elements. Pair high-shine trousers in metallic silver with the Rooney buckled block-heel Mary Janes in pristine white to create a futuristic cold-weather ensemble. A quilted half-moon crossbody bag and sleek black ankle boots will add an edgy touch to a jewel-toned cocktail dress.

Experiment with distinctive silhouettes and textures to add visual interest to your holiday-inspired outfits. Sharp pointed-toe pumps always look sophisticated and have a flattering leg-lengthening effect — they are also versatile enough to look good with both trousers and dresses. Lean into the cosy winter aesthetic by wearing the white Rooney furry buckled Mary Janes with rumpled white socks.
