Now that the warm weather is upon us, the term “Sunday Funday” has returned to our vocabulary. It’s about time. There is nothing quite like a jam-packed Sunday of shameless sleeping in, lengthy brunches, shopping, a sporting event, a walk that includes a patio drink and a fro-yo stop…the endless list of possibilities continues. Perhaps the best thing about a Sunday is the more unapologetically relaxed style and individuality in fashion that this beloved day of the week yields. We have bumped into people we know professionally on the weekend and barely recognized them thanks to their weekend wares and apparent alter ego. Unless attending a wedding, shower, engagement party or something of the sort, Sundays are not meant for sky-high heels, full hair and makeup, or to look like you tried too hard in general – male or female.
Our most memorable Sunday Fundays have been those that are unplanned, yielding one adventure or spontaneous action after another. Days like that define the summer, so don’t ruin your time and the memory with uncomfortable or inappropriate footwear. Here are our options for the ultimate Sunday Funday shoe from our friends at ALDO, our go-to source for fabulous footwear this season.
For the ladies…
A great option for ladies Sunday footwear is ALDO’s Lucyna flat. The artisan-inspired shoe is the perfect blend of ballerina and sandal. It is dainty enough for a fancy brunch with the parents or for an afternoon bridal or baby shower, but practical and comfortable enough for however the day’s activities unfold. The pointy toe offers a nice added touch, allowing the shoe to pair better with a light maxi dress or shorter sundress, even skinny jeans and a tank top. The Lucyna flat is made from woven textile with a rubber sole and an adjustable ankle strap. They come in an attention-grabbing patterned design and are available in multi-colour orange or black.
For the gents…
Who doesn’t miss the days of a trusted pair of high top sneakers? If there was ever an excuse to don the youthful kicks, it is on a Sunday. The ALDO Mieto shoe is perfect for lounging on a patio, walking around with the guys or your lady, and even for an impromptu basketball game. Available in solid black, the shoe pairs nicely with almost any t-shirt and denim option. The shoe is made in synthetic leather with textile lining and a rubber sole, and is complete with studded detail for that added touch of edginess. Find them available for just $75.
