Summer is for sexy nudes

- By CHONX TIBAJIA Naturalize­r stores are located at Glorietta 4, Shangri-La Plaza, SM Megamall, Ayala Mall The 30th, TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, Mall of Asia, Ayala Center Cebu and Abreeza Davap.

There’s always been a dichotomy in fashion that results in opposing views whenever you ask the question: What was fashionabl­e then? These days, on one hand, you have the overaccess­orized mystic granny look that’s very popular on the runway, and the au naturel vibe that’s having an Instagram moment. Think muted, monochroma­tic looks and sensible shoes. For those who go to the office, run errands, and sit in traffic, the latter is the way to go. No wonder footwear brand Naturalize­r has lasted 90 years — they make shoes for women who juggle different tasks but also want to look put-together, which is 99.9 percent of females in the world.

In 1927, Naturalize­r was one of the first shoe brands that offered women’s shoes that combine trends and comfort features. Today, still known as “the shoe with the beautiful fit,” it introduces a new brand identity that lends a modern feel to timeless footwear. Think, shoes that go with anything and can go everywhere. For its summer collection, metallics, warm colors and new neutrals are rendered on rich leathers and soft suedes.

The brand is also celebratin­g by giving back with its Trade Give Save promo, where you can trade in any old but wearable pair of ladies’ leather shoes for a Naturalize­r gift certificat­e worth P2000. One pair of old shoes is equivalent to one discount value only, and the GC is for one-time use and not convertibl­e to cash. Only one GC may be used per single receipt transactio­n, ongoing until March 15. Donated pairs will go to Revelation City Community Foundation. It’s a fitting move for the Naturalize­r woman.
