Today is a very special occasion in the Philippines. In our matriarchal society, the whole nation gives importance to moms as it celebrates Mother’s Day. In these modern times, moms have become the center of both home and work — exemplary inspiration to families, society, culture and even a country.
In fashion, women play a significant role in its evolution. The world of style celebrates this day with a variety of must-have chic specials.
Payless ShoeSource presents its latest offerings with one of the biggest trends this season — flat shoes. Luxury does not need to be a tall order in five-inch designer stilettos. The new luxe is moving towards the opposite direction that’s chic easy, relaxed and all about comfort.
Flats have taken the forward step and are currently grandstanding at the fashion forefront. Trendy prints, which are currently big on apparel, have transcended into shoes as well. Stripes, “ikat,†florals and owl characters are adding fun into our mom’s current wardrobe. Statement brights are making a strong presence as they highlight any simple ensemble. Beautiful surfaces in amazing textures have transformed the look of the classic flats into up-to-date pieces.
Aside from the lineup of flats, noteworthy options are both colored sandals and embroidered Oxfords (lace-ups). These striking pieces are this season’s luxe trappings and are perfect style-setting gift ideas. The key fashion element for mommy dearest is something stylish, functional and, most importantly, comfortable, like flat shoes.
Modern moms are women of style who break boundaries from the stereotypes. These boundaries are not just in the home and industries they lead, but also in fashioning their day-to-day wardrobe as they celebrate their individuality and reinvent their mold.
