SEASONAL TIPS FOR<br />
WARM WEATHER<br />
FASHIONS<br />
U<br />
nabashedly girly shades,<br />
such as pinks and<br />
blushes are dominating<br />
the landscape, while creative construction<br />
and soft materials offer a<br />
variety of comfortable options for<br />
all occasions and lifestyles.<br />
Brittany Moeller, women’s buyer<br />
for shoe retailer Off Broadway<br />
Shoe Warehouse, shares some tips<br />
on how to wear the latest trends<br />
during the warm weather months.<br />
Embrace Your Feminine Side<br />
Floaty, floral dresses, lace patterns<br />
and new blush shades are all<br />
trending this season, empowering<br />
women to express themselves<br />
through feminine details with the<br />
utmost confidence. Embroidery<br />
and crochet designs can be found<br />
on everything from shoes to jeans,<br />
as well as jackets, blouses and<br />
t-shirts, which is a subtle nod to<br />
inspirational throwback styles.<br />
Not convinced blush is your color?<br />
Not to worry: Neutrals, creams and<br />
tans also provide a sophisticated<br />
color palette to work with this season.<br />
Express Your Casual Side<br />
“Whether you’re looking to take<br />
the Bohemian style to the next level<br />
or you love a cool and sporty outfit,<br />
there are so many ways to pull off a<br />
casual look this season - plus plenty<br />
of footwear to choose from,” says<br />
Moeller.Cropped jeans, short sleeve<br />
cotton dresses and graphic t-shirts<br />
can all be complemented by the<br />
latest in outdoor-inspired sandals,<br />
sneakers and slides.<br />
Get Comfortable<br />
Selecting pretty and elegant<br />
fashion options doesn’t have to<br />
translate to swollen and sore feet at<br />
the end of the day! In fact, footwear<br />
manufacturers have created clever<br />
ways to deliver more comfortable<br />
choices.<br />
•<br />
Consider this:<br />
Block heels and wedges are on<br />
trend,<br />
•<br />
easy to wear and easy to walk in!<br />
Popular materials, such as velvet<br />
and suede, are comfortable and soft<br />
to the touch.<br />
• Hidden construction features,<br />
such as zippers on the back and<br />
Velcro strapping, make a shoe easier<br />
to slip on - rather than a closure<br />
that isn’t designed to “give” when<br />
placing over the foot.<br />
“How you define femininity and<br />
stay casual and comfortable is an<br />
individual choice. This season’s<br />
fashion footwear choices cover all<br />
the bases,” says Moeller.<br />
