Slip into these stylish sandals during the weekends
With a bit of clever styling, these sandals can be worn anywhere – from the supermarket to the office to weekend brunches
By Shi Min, Ho Guo Xiong, Khong Yawen -
A Singaporeans' attire is known to be a pair of shorts, T-shirt and flip flops – and there's nothing wrong with that. Whether it is to the beach, pool or for a quick hawker centre run, slides are quick and easy to slip into and go. Unfortunately, this type of footwear is too informal for anything beyond the aforementioned places.
This is where sandals come in. These strappy designs are equally convenient and comes with added style points. More importantly, they are dressy enough for the office, romantic date nights or weekend brunches. Scroll down for some of our favourites of the moment!
