Stepping in style with Dad
After last month’s tribute to our dearest moms, today we celebrate an important occasion with the all-time man of the hour — dad. The idea of dressing him up is based on stereotypes, simple, clean and easy. A formulated concept that seemed to be handed down from tradition eons ago — no longer exists today because modern men (regardless of age) are equally as stylish and fashionable as women. The countless number of men’s style sites online, which includes Mr. Porter, The Fashionisto, Details, GQ, Swide, Jack Threads etc., are testaments of menswear moving forward.
Cool dads are stepping up in fashion and the list of gift ideas to choose from are endless, from clothes to accessories and most especially shoes. With their busy work schedules, weekends are definitely set for leisure with a relaxed setting to complement his contemporary lifestyle. Spending time with the family can be as simple as chilling at the club, watching a movie with the kids, hanging out in the mall, going shopping or taking a quick out of town trip away from the cityscape.
With the vast activities to choose from, there’s always a perfect pair of shoes to suit his needs. Men nowadays are taking the right step for every casual occasion, from slip-ons to loafers, rubber shoes to canvas sneakers as a break from the usual everyday structured formalities.
The trend styles and textures have reinvented the “classics†in more ways than one giving dad that swagger-like appeal. Adding more fun to his wardrobe, bring to life his stylish casual ensembles with a splash of color. Bold brights and modern neutrals are making a fashion statement that’s definitely taking his look into the cool.
Payless ShoeSource presents all these special offerings of the latest casual footwear for Father’s Day. Take the extraordinary step in fashioning dad with noteworthy “shoestoppers†that he deserves.
