It used to be that men’s fashion offered much less variety than women’s. This is no longer the case. Men’s fashion in general, and footwear in particular, is showing a wide variety of fashion-forward, yet accessible options to wear with summer ensembles. While there are a number of options for work and play, let’s focus on the top 4 shoe trends for summer fun.
Sneakers
The versatile sneaker is at the top of the list this season . The modern take on this go-to classic, ranging from all white to bright canvas to minimalist high-quality leather, can be worn sans socks with shorts, jeans (slightly rolled), khakis or chinos. Paired with a plain white tee and a jean jacket, they project a casual, yet pulled-together vibe.
Fashion High-Tops
For a sportier look, these basketball-inspired high-tops are a slam-dunk. The high-fashion take on high-tops is available in a variety of colors and styles. This youthful look pairs well with shorts and jeans.
Espadrilles
Formerly the purview of women, men are discovering the comfort, style and ease of the espadrille. This lightweight canvas slip-on comes in a variety of colors and is a more fashion-forward alternative to the flip-flop. Though too casual for heavier-weight attire, when paired with shorts and a short sleeve button up, you can achieve a beach vacation feel perfect for hot summer days.
Suede Buck
For more buttoned-up occasions, the suede buck oxford is emerging as a way to add fashion flair to a more conservative look. Available in two-tone styles or Elvis’ favorite blue suede, bucks can add a pop of style to business casual attire. These also look wonderful when paired with slimmer and more tapered jeans and trousers.
Make sure your summer look is complete from head to toe with these stylish footwear options.
