I swear slipping and sliding into summer has never been more smooth. The SLIP-ONS SANDALS are taking over every single outfit and every single look this summer. IF (and this is a major ‘if’) you’re a fashion lover. Otherwise, chances are YOU WILL NOT GET THIS TREND. In this whole normcore, fashion, weird, minimalist, can’t-be-bothered-world invading us… something happened to me. No-uh. I haven’t lost my glam side. I just – swear to God – am head over flats in love with these slides. They are so dorky looking it’s irresistibly cute.
What is the big deal about these slips? Are they really so great, or is it yet again a case of we’ll take anything for the sake of fashion and trends? The biggest superpower these slides hold is the fact that they can make any look and any outfit look French chic, or New York minimalist normcore. They just add that minimal sophistication to a style, and it may all look like we're wearing a Sunday Church slippers to the ignoramus, but who cares, right?
YAAAS (Drum roll, please!!!). Nothing is more comfortable then wearing open flat shoes for summer (Do you, agree with me?). However, many women feel that this will make them look frumpy and less elegant (hmmm, think twice).
Although it is true that shoes with heels are often a bit more elegant and can be flattering for your overall silhouette, flat shoes can be very elegant and hip too. I'll be sharing some tips later, on how you can pull-off these kind of shoes. Whatever you wear the moment you put one of these slips on, you’ll look like somebody who knows fashion but couldn’t care less about it. Another check: is that they are so comfortable (awesome, isn't). And they make us look effortless chic which such a coveted style. Of course slightly with the "adulting" thingy, you picking up groceries, running errands, or even attending a casual mini-reunion with friends … I wouldn't mind looking like that when my slips are as awesome as ever and comfy. Nothing beats that!
You've seen from my pictures above that, a lot of international influencers are changing the game of wearing slip-ons. However, I just recently know that there's a local slip-on brand who caters both style and comfort here in the Philippines (YAAS!!). Along with their #SlipOnLocal campaign, they give high importance to the design, comfort, and quality of their products. Not only will these leather-lined sandals from TRES SHOES PHILIPPINES mold to the shape of your foot, creating ultimate comfort, they’ll also give you a casual yet chic addition to your wardrobe that are easy to wear and make you feel just as fashion forward in any places you'll opt to go to. This awesome pieces are a local footwear brand owned by sisters-in-law Mela and Kash Villanueva. Celebrating Filipino ingenuity and craftmanship, they aim to be the go-to everyday footwear of their clients. In addition, the price of each pair is pretty much affordable. I know what you are thinking right now, ladies! Go ahead and shop till you drop, now. You'll never regret buying one (I tell you! You're going to thank me for this). In line with this, i'm here to help you in advance on how you can style your new slips. Don't you worry, because I got you!
7 Ways You Can Actually Wear Them:
1. Play with Texture.
While comfy, a slip on can also instantly add pop to your outfit via texture. It simply adds an instant edge to your fit.
2. Show them your Inner Goddess.
Add cool factor to your look with Ancient Greek Sandal’s frayed with denim short shorts. Then pair with 1970s-style accessories. Although you often will match your shoes with one of the colours of your clothes, you can also do the opposite and add a contrasting colour. Make sure though that the tone of colour has the same kind of saturation as the other colours in your outfit. Like what I did here.
3. Make a Minimalism Statement.
When your outfit is very basic and simple, opt for trendier shoes to give the outfit a bit more of a young and hip vibe, when your outfit is very hip already you may want to tone it down with simple and elegant shoes. (As usual it’s all about balance). Add some punch with Tres's maple color sandals. But keep the rest of the look tasteful with a simple muscle tee and palazzo pants.
4. Choose a Friendly- Feature One.
These sandals have all of the foot-friendly features you need — flat support, cushioned insole, a little bit of a closed back — because they were designed by none other than our local artist here in the Philippines. Styles like this will keep your feet feeling good for hours (for sure, cause I did!).
5. Planning your Day Ahead.
Make sure that you buy shoes you can walk in! Flip flops aren't the way to go if you plan on doing a lot of walking. Instead, look for shoes with more support. Your feet will thank you! And (ehem ehem) it's not stylish at all. So why shouldn't you plan your footwear too? If you know you're going to be doing a lot of walking, leave the flip flops and highs heels at home. "Dress shoes weren't meant to walk a quarter-mile from the metro," podiatrist Dr. Alison Garten told the Wall Street Journal. "That's exercise. Nobody would dare exercise in a pair of high heels."
6. Size does Matter After All.
Choosing the right size for you, won't just help you to be comfortable. But also, this will help you to walk like as if you're in a modeling runway. This tip seems like a no brainer, but buy shoes that actually fit your feet. (This doesn't just apply to sandals, by the way.) "If the sandal is too big, your foot will slide around, which will create blisters," Dr. Rosenberg wrote. "It could also cause the toes to grip the floor of the shoe resulting in an unidentifiable foot pain that comes on gradually after a long day walking and shopping." Make sure you buy your shoes in the right size. Many women go up a size in shoe as they age, so don’t assume that you will keep the same size throughout life.
7. Leather for all Weathers.
More is not more when it comes to shoes. Invest in quality and stick to good quality leather whenever possible. It’s worth investing in flats as you will usually wear them much more often than your heels.
