Mandals For Every Type of Man

Sandals are one of the most controversial items in all of casual menswear. Yet there’s something appealing about them as the warm weather finally hits.

From classic leather to simple pool slides, we’ve got slob-free sandals for every type of man that will keep your toes free and your style turned up.

Leather Sandals

Comfortable doesn’t have to mean un-stylish or sloppy. More appropriate than flip-flops and more breathable than basic shoes, leather sandals are a refined choice than can adapt to a wide variety of sun-filled scenarios.

When To Wear Them: Chic casual nights or a day at the beach, these sandals can style both and elevate your casual pieces.

Pair Them With: Lightweight smart staples like tailored shorts, polos, linen pants, cuffed chinos and unlined blazers.

Simple Slides

Flip flops have their place for the pool or gym shower. Turn to slip-ons in leather, woven fabrics and rubber instead for a streamlined sandal option to take you from the beach to the bar with no shame.

When To Wear Them: This type of minimal sandal offers refinement and comfort over the flimsy flip-flop, making them an excellent choice for outdoor parties, beach days and al fresco dinners.

Pair Them With: Short-sleeve button downs, tees, jeans and swim trunks.

Guy Gladiators

Men surprisingly have been sporting gladiator sandals long before records began and if prominent men like Julius Caesar and Jesus can adopt the trend you can too.

When To Wear Them: When your figuratively in Rome or realistically on vacation, these are perfect for pairing on any type of yacht or boat.

Pair Them With: Take your look to tailored status- think structured blazers, chambray shirts and slim khakis.

Sandals for men have been easily dismissed in recent years, but don’t be afraid to navigate the faux pas-ridden world of mandals. You should seriously consider one of these styles for any type of warm-weather situation.

Can you handle the mandal or will you risk hiding sweaty feet in the heat?
