Beyond limits

- by LUIS ESPIRITU, JR.

Love month is coming to and end and fashion is all set to step into the heat of Summer 2016. With the new season about to unfold, the hottest and most wanted footwear is taking great strides with well-heeled sensibilit­ies under the tropical sun.

In the Philippine­s, Payless ShoeSource takes pride in leading the style pack with summer’s most coveted shoe-stoppers. Hitting ultrachic seashores and luxe destinatio­ns are the stylish sandals.

This season, the spotlight piece is high on the radar whether simple, platform or bejeweled in a variety of modern neutrals or pastels or printed. From seasons of towering steps, fashion swings to the extreme as it presents the return to flat forms. Style is all about comfort as fashion walks the talk as it slips and slides into this classic essential.

As the sun begins to sizzle, shine becomes brighter this summer. Past seasons of dazzling and glittering footwear remain with fascinatin­g silver streaks and precious details. One of the biggest sneak peeks is the grandstand­ing stay of modern athletic fashion. The reign of sneakers remain one of the top style setters in contempora­ry creations. Whether flat, platform, embellishe­d, sculpted, painted, textured or simply minimal, the influence of sports has transcende­d into modern everyday wear.

Spring/Summer 2016 trendsetti­ng footwear is all about the look in extremes. Whether high to low or minimal to maximal, sun worshipper­s will be delighted as fashion’s overall statement is style beyond limit.
