Of Loafers and boots and HAPPY FEET!

“For women, shoes are the most important. Good shoes take you good places.” 
― Seo Min Hyun

There are two types of footwear that you generally shop for:

1.Type I   : Daily comfort wear ( Office/College/Running errands)

2. Type II : Party footwear which need not be comfortable always, or let us say, they don't make stylish comfortable shoes here!

I have been recommending PAVERS to most men around as the formal wear & slip-ons from PAVERS last more than 2 years & give maximum comfort. For the price you pay, I must say its the best output. The man in the house confirms! And now the men's loafers in pop colors are a sheer delight. Lucky Men! Except that men's footwear are always on the expensive side , but then they buy so few it kinda compensates.

For a lady with a 100, 000 pairs screaming- " I don't have shoes", you must understand that she has a reason! The variety in women's footwear is generally not a marriage of comfort with style. For a price upwards of Rs.2000, you may find some cushioning comfort ,yet the style quotient may not match up! Thankfully Pavers comes to the rescue with its wide range of women's footwear which is stylish+comfortable! It comes with a price tag but If you want to invest in a footwear that is ideal , then its a no-brainer to keep aside some budget for these PAVERS beauties! Slip into them , you might just know what I mean !

At Pavers, there is something for everyone ,right from your teeny bopper sister to your granny. Even the rain-footwear is so chic , you can barely make out its water-proof! As for today's post, I will talk about my 3 favorite categories at PAVERS England.

 LOOK 1: LBD meets the Sequin Fairy

1. A basic Little Black Dress (LBD) is a saviour. And you might run after me with a sword because you might be reading this for the umpteenth time! Its funny but even after knowing this for ages I got my LBD only recently ( Vienna postcard, remember?) . We think everyone might turn up in a LBD, so why take chances! The fact is there are millions of ways you can play around with an LBD- Statement jewellery, Knee-high boots, Cardigans, blazers , capes and lots more. The option explored here is the Sequinned Jacket. Besides Hollywood stars flaunting this trend already, its become a favorite of the street-fashionistas. Dare to wear this bold trend in the night. Wear once, and you are sorted forever!!!


Tell me how you would like to wear this jacket. Enjoy the twinkles and we are looking forward to hear your views!
