Footwear
The space between trainers and dress shoes is where most of a man's life happens. Great casual footwear holds that ground with ease and quiet confidence.
Overview
Casual shoes carry the heaviest rotation in most wardrobes. They go with jeans, chinos, casual trousers, and simple outfits. The investment in a few classic silhouettes — loafer, chukka, clean Derby — pays dividends across years of daily wear.
Principles
A handful of silhouettes have stood the test of time and work across the full spectrum of casual dressing.
Suede and nubuck are more casual than polished leather by nature of their texture. Use them to calibrate formality.
Casual shoes should match the weight and formality of the rest of the outfit. Avoid the mismatch of a smart blazer with a rubber-soled slip-on.
The Sartorial Standard
Casual footwear chosen well is the mark of a man who truly understands style.
