Three shoe models you need this spring

Loafers

Wearing loafers throughout the spring and summer months is one of the most stylish choices you can make. Many believe it to be old-fashioned to wear a pair of loafers, a myth long forgotten over time. Variations of upper leather, colours, sole thickness, and detailing such as tassels result in there is an almost endless selection of loafers. The world’s best-dressed men, as well as "ordinary men" around the world, happily wear loafers as their absolute favourite shoes in spring and summer. Brown, suede loafers create a softer contrast with a pair of blue jeans or beige chinos. Black loafers with a thin sole are the formal option, a pair of black loafers with thicker soles is perhaps more in touch with its rock’n’roll side. Wear without socks to amplify the style.

Boat shoes

Boat shoes, as the name suggests were designed to be worn onboard a mahogany-decked boat. The soft rubber sole is gentle on a varnished wooden deck, while the slots in the sole provide great grip. For practical reasons, they are worn without socks, a style that continues to thrive today. Pair with rolled-up chinos or jeans with a blue/white striped sweater for the classic “boat look”. Why not pair navy blue overshirt or an unstructured blazer, perfect for the sailing boat as the city’s streets.

Sneakers

Sneakers have become immeasurably popular in recent years with all ages the world over. Originally intended as sport/free time shoes, they function perfectly when dressed up with a blazer or suit. All-white leather sneakers with a thin sole and few details on the upper leather are always a stylish, timeless and safe choice. Sneakers styled like running shoes become an even more casual form among different types of sneakers. Sneakers are a suitable option if you like versatile and practical shoes when you are out for a walk or a day in town.
