As much as I don’t want to accept the fact that there is and will be a “new normal” due to the pandemic, I guess we just need to adjust and be more careful moving forward. Along with the habits (e.g. no handshakes, no beso, taking a bath right away after going out) that need to adapt, our outfits also get a fair share of the changes. I’ve personally switched to slip-ons and have allotted specific pairs for errands outside the house.
Since I want to minimize holding onto items that I brought with me outside, slip-on footwear like loafers, doll shoes, slip-on sneakers, and slides have been very helpful. You can still stay fashionable while sporting easy-to-sanitize pairs. For those who are not yet familiar with these, you can start with these pairs from CLN:
TALLIN SLIP-ON SNEAKERS
Price: Php 1499
Where to buy it: Official CLN store
This Tallin slip-on sneakers give extra height, which somehow elongates the appearance of your legs (especially in photos). It’s made out of genuine leather, comfortable and easy to wear, making it good for everyday use. Although it’s only available in black, it goes well with almost everything that I wear.
MAC SLIDES
Price: Php 499
Where to buy it: Official CLN store
For days when we don’t need to do a lot of walking, these Mac Slides can be a great go-to pair. It’s made out of synthetic leather, has a round toe style, and it’s available in beige and black. I’m loving the beige version, though! It looks good with dresses and even plain shirts-shorts combinations.
Both pairs are already available at the official CLN Shopee store. You can place an order via the app*, provided that you know your foot size, so you won’t need to go out anymore. Orders are shipped in just a few days! You can also wait for their monthly free shipping offers for extra savings.
