Whether it is a wedding, christening, cocktail party or evening event, every detail matters, and your shoes play an essential part in your look. That is why we have created this selection of women’s occasion shoes, combining quality, design and elegance for your most precious moments.

Occasion shoes for every special event

If you are attending a wedding, choose a tailored suit or dress with heeled women’s occasion shoes for a feminine silhouette. Our Casta and Cola styles, in fine leather with delicate straps, bring a refined touch to every celebration.

If you are a bridesmaid, choose elegant, comfortable shoes to accompany the bride throughout the day. Block heels are a gentler alternative to high heels. Our Cola and Joy styles, in soft leather, come in pastel yellow, brown, cognac, silver and sky blue.

If you are the bride, choose off white or beige leather pumps to complement your wedding dress. Our Cola, Casta and Colada styles, made from LWG-certified leather, are ideal for the celebration.

Combining elegance, comfort and current trends, our women’s occasion shoes suit every preference and will take you from the start of the ceremony to the end of the night.

Heeled sandals, pumps or ballet flats: which style should you choose?

Women’s pumps are an elegant essential for formal occasions. They elongate the silhouette and complement most outfits for a refined, feminine look.

Heeled women’s sandals are particularly well suited to summer celebrations. For extra height without compromising on comfort, our block-heeled styles, such as Cola, Joy and Soline, are ideal. For a more relaxed look, our flat leather sandals offer comfort and elegance.

Our wedge heels, such as the Hono styles, are also an excellent alternative to high heels. For exceptional comfort and a real sense of well-being, you can also choose our Soli women’s ballet flats, with their carefully considered finishes, or our women’s Mary Jane shoes, with their refined, feminine style.

How do you choose the right occasion shoes?

When choosing women’s occasion shoes, consider several factors according to your needs. First, the event: a formal ceremony calls for leather pumps, while an outdoor event lends itself to heeled or flat sandals. Your outfit will also guide your choice: consider light, nude or pastel shades. The season matters too: sandals for summer and closed-toe styles for autumn occasions. Be sure to choose the right size for comfort.

What heel height should you choose for a special occasion?

Heel height is a key consideration when choosing women’s occasion shoes.

  • High heels (8–10 cm) are perfect for elongating your silhouette and enhancing your look

  • Mid-height heels (5–7 cm) offer a good balance of elegance and comfort

  • Low heels or flats will let you dance all night. If you are not used to wearing heels, choose lower or wider heels for greater stability and comfort.

Which colours and materials should you choose?

For your next special occasion, choose elegant materials and colours:

  • Smooth leather, patent leather or cognac leather for a chic look

  • Metallic leather, satin or shimmering materials for a festive touch

  • Refined finishes and subtle details: slim straps and metallic effects

For colours, nude, gold, silver, cognac and pastel shades are reliable choices. At Odaje, our leathers are LWG-certified and our shoes are made in Portugal, a mark of artisanal quality. Our Portuguese workshop ensures considered design and impeccable finishes for durable, elegant women’s occasion shoes.

As a guest, choose elegant shoes: leather pumps, heeled sandals or ballet flats, depending on the season and dress code. Avoid overly sporty or white shoes. Adapt your look to the atmosphere of each celebration.

For an autumn wedding, choose closed-toe shoes such as leather pumps or Mary Janes. Opt for warm colours such as brown, burgundy or cognac.
