3 Shoes to Wear to the Summer Party

Summer brings bright evenings, warm days, and for many, a calendar filled with parties, weddings, and after-work gatherings. The right shoes are, in most cases, the foundation of a festive outfit, where they can play a crucial role in the overall impression. Here, we present three classics that suit all kinds of styles and occasions – from more casual to formal.

White Leather Sneakers – The Casual Occasion

Vita lädersneakers till sommarfesten

White sneakers have cemented their place as the most versatile shoes in the wardrobe. They work just as well with jeans as with a summer suit – especially when the dress code is smart casual. Go for a clean design in premium leather or canvas to keep the look fresh and summery.

The Loafer – Timelessly Elegant

Bruna loafers med horsebit

Penny loafers strike the perfect balance between formal and casual. With a classic silhouette rooted in the 1950s, they are both comfortable and sophisticated. Equally suitable for a garden party or a more dressed-up summer evening.

Oxford Shoes – For the More Formal Occasions

Oxfordsskor till sommarfesten

When the invitation says "dark suit" or any other form of formal attire, Oxford shoes are the way to go. This classic lace-up shoe offers an elegant silhouette and a sense of refined gentlemanly style. Black is the safest choice, but if you're attending a daytime event or something less formal, a brown pair can also work well.

Whether you're aiming for relaxed charm or sharp elegance, the right shoes are key to a successful summer look. Loafers, white sneakers, and Oxford shoes not only look great – they show you pay attention to the details.

The selection process was very easy, and navigating the online shop was as well. The product presentation and the purchasing process itself were both very simple and pleasant.

I wanted to buy a steamer from the company Steamery for travel in Europe, but the models available in the US won't work in the EU, not even with an adapter. So I had to figure out a way to get the EU compatible sent to me in the United States before my trip. I used an AI app called Claude, which helped me identify care of Carl as a potential source, and my delivery came within a matter of days. I am very pleased with my shopping experience.

Got a size 39 Contemporary fit as I’m somewhere between slim fit and contemporary. It’s quite roomy though, so I got it tailored a bit (also the sleeves). But I love the material!
