All aboard the shoe-shoe train

As quoted from the infamous movie Forest Gump, “Mama always said you could tell an awful lot about a person by the kind of shoes they wear,” and we couldn’t agree more. They tie the whole outfit together and ultimately determine how much effort was actually put into the look.  Each style tells a different story. Each style complements an outfit differently. We often overlook the strong impact a simple pair of shoes can make and forget that it is just as important as any other piece of the outfit. First impressions are lasting impressions. So all aboard the shoe-shoe train, just in time for Eid.

When you don’t have diamonds, you have shoes. So what’s really a girl’s best friend? Tunajina Islam visits Bariq & Co to see what’s in the offing for the Eid festivities ahead. While we know the many emerging shoe brands of Bangladesh are making a roar through the industry, we’ve specifically picked Bariq & Co for their inimitable designs and quality merchandise. They undoubtedly cater to the new and impending trends of footwear that surfaced from Boho-Western culture.

Bows on flats
A lavish new concept of bows on flats fashions a flawless summer look. Dove and Sea Shell rock this look with two different approaches. The Dove pair, curated in luxury pink satin, goes for a double bow knot on nude flats. Minimal in its color and style, this pair accords with any outfit for any time of the day. Seashell takes a lustrous turn with rhinestones masking the strap in a bow-shaped manner.  The use of grey faux leather makes this pair look all the more deluxe.

O Sam
O Sams scream sophistication and taste. They are a compelling alternative to the classic one strap block heels with a dash of transparent material to kick up the look. For the fashion-savvy women who still want a comfortable feel, this pair has you covered. The heel is just the right amount of sassy but classy. They also come in a white color, also known as “white flamingo”, for that extra office-style look.

Camelia
Name a better duo than pearls and suede red shoes. Camelia presents protruding glossy pearls ornamented on a transparent strap. Harmonizing with a dark red suede platform, this look elegantly fits any style. Don’t turn a blind eye to pearls. They’re not just a jewelry fad anymore, and this pair attests to this.

Rhinestones embellished
Lush brings you subtle colors of pink contrasted with dark blue stones centered in the cross-section. This combination is effortlessly chic and can make a lasting statement this Eid. Black Bell is yet another pair that is embellished with rhinestones and gives an even bolder look on account of the pure black straps. The arrangement of the stones makes the details more eye-catching. These shoes are not like your ordinary pairs and are vying for a spot in your closet.

Daniella
Mother of fancy! Daniella sports an extravagant, and not so subtle, look with plentiful clear rhinestones to decorate both straps of the shoes. They say your shoes speak for you, and these speak volumes. Anothing admirable feature is the nude base and clear straps that intend to bring more attention to your feet. The stones are decorations for your feet rather than the shoe itself.
