RETURN OF THE MANDALS

The changing season is beginning to heat up, with summer not too far away. This would mean mandals - that's man sandals - are going to run rampant in the city all the way to the beach. We've seen them last year, but S/S 2012 have several designers, from Hermes, Lanvin to Versace, featuring the return of men’s sandals on their runways - signalling the most apt time for your feet to breathe some fresh air.

WAITING TO EXHALE. L-R: Lanvin, Versace, Michael Kors, Hermes, Givenchy, Corneliani, Hermes and Missoni are showing some good, stylish toes.

Locally, footwear brand WADE is also using mandals with flamboyance, in belief that men also need something with that extra stylish flair more than what the usual flipflops can offer while on a holiday. I personally love these new designs, and I even got one pair (in black) that I truly like - courtesy of Ms. Bogs Lee, owner of WADE. Thanks a lot, Ms. Bogs!

Check out these strappy mandals available in all WADE branches, priced at P1,499 each. Also visit www.wade.com.ph.
