British by design

MANILA, Philippines - Clarks has played its part in great British design with shoes that have walked, strode and sashayed through the decades.

 The brand’s latest collection seamlessly fuses contemporary flourishes with vintage styling. It re-imagines classics from its very own unique archive and delivers modern new looks. British by design, fashionable by definition.

For ladies, there’s a selection of both flat and heeled shoes that can take them from day to night. A pair of gold peep-toes, suede Maryjanes or a beribboned version in periwinkle, eyelet-detail T-straps in butter yellow, salmon sandals with a straw platform or wooden wedge, sexy multi-buckle wedges in camel, cork wedges with a floral fabric cover, sequined shoes, or Spanish leather strappy heels, rounds out the collection of heeled pairs. They can be paired with any dress to make that outfit even more special.

On casual days, girls might want to reach for a pair of cream brogues or flat sandals. A must-have color is a color-blocked flat pair with leather straps in white, camel and teal.

As for men, there are just as many options. For dressier affairs, opt for lace-up shoes in perforated dark brown, stitched seal brown or camel, or aged ombre-tip suede. For a more fashionable touch to one’s uniform of khakis and a chambray shirt, the perfect match would be a pair of boat shoes — with either straw or leather details, driving shoes in supple leather or blue suede, a low-cut desert boot in the perfect shade of camel, or for the more fashion-forward, men’s multi-strap sandals in jet black.

Clarks shoes are available at Chinatown, SM Cebu, Mall of Asia, The Block, Midtown Ermita and Cinderella stores at Glorietta 3, Alabang Town Center, Virra Mall and SM Megamall.
