Accessory trend report
MANILA, Philippines - Shoes made a major statement at Alabang Town Center’s Style Origin and the verdict is in: Platform pumps are still the most chic pair a woman can own, but casual footwear is also making a splash with boat shoes and canvas slip-ons stomping down the runway.
Slip-on comfort
No longer just a beach staple, canvas slip-ons are the latest choice for a casual weekend look, or even after a long day in heels.
Sea legs
You don’t need to be by the bay to don a pair of preppy boat shoes. The casual shoe looks great with any weekend outfit and is prepared to tread any rain-soaked surface without getting damaged.
Getting a handle
Her top-handle Asprey handbag was a symbol of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s power and now for professional women everywhere. Roomy enough to accommodate all essentials while sturdy enough to take a beating, a good top-handle purse is a must for the working woman.
