As we prepare for the flurry of Lunar New Year house visits, the dilemma is always the same: finding footwear that looks stylish enough for the 'OOTD' but is comfortable enough to survive a full day of standing, walking, and packet-hunting.

If you are tired of blisters from stiff heels, Ipanema at Marina Square is your salvation. Located on Level 2, this Brazilian footwear brand is famous for its "always new, always beautiful" philosophy, offering sandals that are as kind to your feet as they are to the planet.

Here is why a trip to their Marina Square boutique should be on your pre-CNY checklist this January 2026.

The "Class Fashion" Collection: understated Elegance

For CNY 2026, Ipanema has rolled out designs that move beyond the beach-casual look. The Class Fashion Fem series is a standout, featuring sleek metallic accents and sophisticated T-bar straps that pair perfectly with a modern cheongsam or a floral maxi dress.

• Comfort First: Unlike traditional flats that offer zero support, Ipanema’s signature Anatomic Footbed cups your heel and supports your arch, ensuring you can "bai nian" from morning to midnight without a single ache.
• Versatility: These aren't just for the festive season. Their water-resistant material makes them the perfect transition shoe—go from a rainy afternoon in the CBD to a sunny weekend brunch without missing a beat.

Sustainable Style for the Eco-Conscious

Did you know that every pair of Ipanema sandals is 100% Vegan and 100% Recyclable? Made from their proprietary "Flexpand" material, these shoes are durable, flexible, and produced with a low carbon footprint. In 2026, wearing new clothes for the new year doesn't have to mean generating more waste. It is a guilt-free purchase that aligns with the modern Singaporean's push for sustainability.
