The good weather is here and every elegant man wants to combine a casual look without sacrificing elegance.
How to proceed?
We will try to guide you in your choice of shoes, and how to combine them with casual outfits, whether in your professional or private environment.
In the professional world, less formal outfits are gradually becoming more common, and in certain circles, the elegant man can now, without risk, indulge in certain controlled fantasies.
So there will be a lot of talk about loafers in this section. As temperatures rise, outfits become lighter. The loafer is the type of shoe that is synonymous with casualness while maintaining the chic standards of the active man.
A short lexical synthesis, the moccasin can also be called in its English version the Loafer, which is defined as shoes that are easy to put on and without laces "easy shoe".
Summer shoes are grouped into several categories such as "car shoes", "summer moccasins" and even "sleepers".
The common thread running through all of these names, regardless of their materials, patterns or construction, is the absence of lacing and therefore a shoe whose hold on the foot is achieved exclusively by the fit and the upper part of the upper (the strap or vamp).
But then, how do you look chic at work when spring has arrived and summer is just around the corner with its first beautiful days?
The moccasin, your most faithful ally
At work, your chinos or trousers (a jacket can be optional) should be of a certain length. Avoid trousers that are too short because, although elegant, they can appear nonchalant to some people.
When choosing a loafer, we recommend slightly elongated models with a more pronounced patina and patina nuances. The offbeat look will be brought about mainly by your choice of color and its nuances.
A Finsbury model perfectly reflects this world, which is both chic and relaxed, while preserving the status attributes of the working man. This is the model Brecourt , Vendôme collection, which is a moccasin with strap available in 2 colors, patina blue and patina brown.
With a slightly long shape with a Latin connotation or temperament, this platform moccasin with strap is Blake-mounted, thus offering great flexibility from the first try-on and from the first steps.
The patina blue is deep and will go perfectly with your navy suits and dark chinos.
The patina brown model offers a wider range of combinations, including navy and gray suits, linen, or more unstructured fabrics. The entire chino color palette will pair wonderfully with this shade.
In the private sphere, several universes are possible, that of evenings with friends and that of total relaxation on the beach, Bermuda shorts, boat...
During the day
Beach, Bermuda shorts, lunch on the terrace—nothing's stopping you from staying chic. First, in summer, we prefer not to wear socks with our loafers. Then, the choice of style: we offer three models from the Finsbury range, from the most versatile to the most distinctive:
