Yay, my favorite season is officially here, and among the indicators, aside from the intensifying heat, is the entrance of clothing and footwear in summer colors and travel-friendly accessories (because, really, summer for us Filipinos is the best time to travel anywhere, even Australia–well, it’s now autumn there).

I’m not big on shopping (kahit hindi halata), but if there’s one fashion item I cannot resist, it’s shoes. And, I’m particularly excited to update my collection (much to the dismay of my mom and my overcrowded shoe closet) whenever a new season comes along. So now, I’ll have to put away my beloved boots and heels for sexy wedges, colorful kitten heels, and casual and comfy flats and sneaks. For these particular summer footwear wants, I find myself turning to GEOX’s latest collection.

Ivana, P8,775. Goat leather sandals. Breathable and waterproof patented sole.

Recently, I attended the launch of the Italian shoe and clothing brand’s Spring/Summer 2015 collection that features its signature waterproof and breathable footwear for urban men, women, and kids. They also launched their outerwear collections for men and women that are great for travel.

Drive Mox. Ultralight and flexible suede and smooth leather moccasin, with soles with extra large perforation and full-size waterproof and breathable membrane.

GEOX footwear is a great footwear investment for those who really wear down their shoes and those love to travel because they’re known to be great for all weather, be it dry and sunny or cool and rainy. We need them in our fickle tropical climate: Even when it’s summer, we experience rain showers, so it’s always best to be prepared.

Of course, I zeroed in on the women’s collection of footwear that marries performance and fashion as it caters to all occasions: chic sophistication for the office, comfortable style for shopping, and durable elegance for trips.

Elina. Patent shoe with breathable and waterproof patented sole.

The line features high heels, pumps, midi wedges, and flats in classic black and white, earth tones, and even brighter shades such as fir green and cobalt blue. A few pieces are made from discolored calf skin with weave patterns and from goat skin given a metallic and pearlescent sheen.

Jolanda. Woven leather sandal with breathable and waterproof patented sole.

If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, there are sandals done in leather and jacquard fabric with either floral motifs or animal prints in python or tegu lizard, and sneakers with flexible soles in various styles: from matelassé effect leather to leopard print suede.

As for the outerwear, a fusion of multifunctional elegance and modern chic details characterize the Women’s S/S 2015 Collection. You’ll find city and padded nylon down jackets, blazer waistcoats, and slim-fit jackets in new fabrics and bold colors. These pieces can effortlessly take you from day to night, from casual to dressy. I can’t wait to get one for my upcoming trip to Canada!
