Gosh there are a lot of ‘outs’ in this blog title but let me explain! With the Government offering 50% discounts on meals out on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in August, a few of us may be heading to our local restaurants with more frequency or even for the first time since lockdown began.
Couple this with PM Boris Johnson leaving it to employers’ discretion as to whether staff should return to the office and it feels like the brakes are coming off ever so slightly if we are sensible.
This is not a COVID-19 advisory blog, however. We are still all about the shoes and wonder whether dining out and possible office days is a good excuse to dust off the formal shoes?
You may be finding shoes an alien concept right now! There will plenty of us who have donned office attire for our video meetings with bare feet enjoying the fresh air under our home desks. Or we may have worn more relaxed footwear that suits dress-down work wear.
Now though, there is a chance to dress up again…and I think that will feel good. It will feel like a little bit of normal. If you are usually a relaxed-dress diner, now is your chance to push the boat out and really, and literally, go to town.
Some of my fellow Herring’s bloggers crave sartorial elegance and they do look good for it. Style really does start from the bottom up and as we embrace our brave new world, why not throw your shoulders back and slide in with some super smart shoes on your feet?
If I had to choose a top five for these socially distanced times, I would choose some real eye-catchers for fellow diners or colleagues to admire from afar – two metres where possible.
If you are being asked to return to the office, we have plenty of formal shoes in our sale right now so have a look. A new pair of Oxfords may just give you the spring in the step you need!
