Why White-Soled Loafers Are the Shoe of the Summer
Comfortable, refined, and endlessly versatile, there’s nowhere you can’t go in a pair of these casual loafers this summer.
Despite their timeless appeal, loafers are noticeably trending this season, with one style in particular proving popular.
Sportier than a leather-soled loafer yet more sophisticated than a sneaker, white-soled loafers are this season’s most-wanted men’s shoe — and it's easy to see why.
Dressing well in the summer is all about keeping your look as light and breezy as possible while still retaining an elevated edge.
White-soled loafers combine sleek uppers made of high-quality materials with a casual, sneaker-like footing, meaning you look refined while feeling comfortable all day.
With a classic laceless loafer design, they allow for excellent airflow around the feet and ankles while their rubber or synthetic white soles weigh far lighter than traditional stacked leather versions.
Synonymous with the “quiet luxury” aesthetic, the white-soled loafer shares many tenets of the trend. Luxury materiality meets discreet styling, comfort and elegance are offered in equal proportion, and an effortlessly ability blend into elevated and casual contexts.
Whether worn at the office, on a date or special occasion, out to dinner, or on vacation, there’s an endless list of places to wear these extremely versatile shoes.
The casual nature of the shoe’s white sole means these can easily be worn with tailored shorts while the refined loafer-style upper means they also look at home under a tailored linen trouser (or even a casual suit) — the ideal day-to-night shoe.
