Sandals, the enigmatic item, which most men would enjoy wearing but can’t seem to figure out what to buy or how to wear them. I am here to dispel the male myth of the Men’s Sandal!
I see a lot of men in the warm weather walking around in shorts, jeans or casual pants in either leather or suede dress shoes, loafers, or oxfords. I always think how hot are their feet? Wouldn’t they be more comfortable in sandals? How summery their clothing is and how fall/winter their feet look! Most men opt for the shoe or loafer because they think the alternative is a flip-flop, which are super casual, look like they are going to the beach, and usually don’t go with outfits that are little more dressy. I am here to help men demystify the sandal and enjoy what I refer to as: ”Open Toe Season”…Or Summer Weather!
Here I put together a selection of sandals, slides and I have put one thong that would be appropriate to wear. Some have backs like the Lanvin Deep Blue & Black Leather Men’s Sandals and the Balenciaga leather sandals. There is a selection of Slides, such as Prada Nylon Slide Sandals or the AD Ann Demeulemeester Classic Sliders. These can all be worn with your jeans, pants, khakis, shorts, and even with like a great casual suit. The Selection I have here for you to shop from gives you a range of style and price. Perhaps if you are a bit more fashion forward, then you would like these sandals from Marni or if you are bit more classic you may opt for the Rockport ‘Beach Affair’ Slide Sandal.
You will definitely need to either give yourself a pedicure or treat yourself to one, as your toes will most likely be on display. Black is a safe first pair. They go with your jeans, flat front pants, Khakis and so on. If you tend to wear a lot of earth tones and not so much black, then start with a brown, like these Ralph Lauren Hubert Criss Cross Sandals or a great example of an acceptable dressier thong to wear is the Gucci Leather Horsebit Thong Sandal. If Sandals are in your vernacular already or like me you just love blue, then opt for a blue sandal. Blue being a primary color, it compliments pretty much any color! Try these Álvaro Antonio Leather slides.
Liberating your feet is now an easy feat…Have fun shopping below!
