5 Shoes We’re Living In This Summer

THE SPORTY SLIDES
About as far from New Kids On The Block as you can get, these guys have some serious heritage. Best of all, you can wear them sans Summer … Just add socks! To keep those retro vibes going, pair them with a bucket hat.

THE BOAT SHOE
The slip-on shoe of choice when it comes to harbour days. Take that prep to the next level and pair it with an old-school polo shirt. When the sun is high, be sure to pop that collar.

THE MANDALS
For years, Mum tried to get us to wear these shoes. Begged even. Turns out, she knew what she was on about. Think ‘smart casual’ … But with air-conditioning. Perfect with a linen suit for a summer wedding, or team it with a statement jacket for those Summer nights.

THE WOVEN SHOE
Another number with built-in AC, the woven shoe is an early 90s throwback we don’t want to give up. Perfect, too, for that summer wedding (did someone say Byron?), or to rock on the regular with statement boardies and a linen shirt.

THE SUMMER SNEAKER
There are some occasions over Summer that call for a closed shoe. Or, maybe you’re just in between pedicures. The all-white Summer trainer is a trusted go-to for just about everything in your wardrobe. We’re dressing our up with this retro stripe shirt thanks to the boys at Saturdays NYC.
