Boys, the socks can go to the attic. The sun is shining, so from today on we are going barefoot through life. And you couldn't care less if a sour colleague or sister-in-law makes a comment about it. Like the other day: “I get cold just looking at you,” said a mother on the schoolyard who had just looked at my bare feet in pumps. In her eyes, a look as if I had just given her a contagious disease. Okay… Maybe she has time to read this piece, because really going barefoot is better.

The sooner you start going bare, the faster you'll get brown legs and be ready for the beach.

Doors are held open for you, coffee is poured, flowers turn towards you. When you breathe in spring, the world smiles at you.

You walk differently with bare legs. Just pay attention, summer comes into your stride and is therefore much sexier than your winter walk.

Your heels look a lot nicer when they match your skin.

You don't have to worry about runs, ladders, and other panty woes.

The sun on your legs stimulates vitamin D production. Vitamin D is good for many things, but also for your mood. It wouldn't hurt the schoolyard mother in question. Have a nice sunny weekend everyone!
