Summer footwear is all about comfort, versatility and ease. You want a shoe that is so easy, you can pair them with everything in your wardrobe—from your best business attire and your most loved pair of jeans to your cut-off shorts and swim trunks. Well, a good pair of loafers can do all of that because they're at once classic and incredibly current. But there are a few things to keep in mind. First, you want a slightly tapered toe box. Secondly, don't be afraid to try a more swerved-out style, be it a bold colorway or rakish details. And finally, you may want to consider rubber soles. Either a slim, streamlined compound rubber or a chunky, more natural-looking crepe style. It's not a rule, of course. A hard leather sole is an undisputed staple that won't ever let you down. But the softer bottomed shoes will ensure every step is comfy and that you never look too formal. This is summer after all.
