When it’s time for summer wardrobe and summer changes, we should pay attention not only to clothes itself, but to footwear as to an integral part of creating stylish and well-balanced ensemble. It is true to say, that when it comes to choosing a pair of shoes, men usually do not have that variety of colors, forms, shapes etc., which women do. Generally speaking, it is not that bad, without the need for a separate shoe closet, men easily have enough choice in their footwear wardrobe to create distinctive, classic and signature warm weather looks for every day of the week.
While getting dressed each morning, you should concentrate on your image as on one integral system, where each detail is important. Speaking about shoes, four main categories are usually distinguishes, each one dictates your overall choice of clothing and corresponding footwear.
Business Wear = traditional suits, formal office wear, important meetings, conservative blazer and dress trousers.Traditional laced business shoes / slips-ins

Business Casual = general office wear, professional but not necessarily formal, wider range of sport coats paired with dress and casual trousers, finer polo shirts and dress khakis or chinos.Lighter colored dress shoes / loafers / suede bucks / rubber soled casual shoes
Social = going out, lawn parties, social but not necessarily casual eventsDriving moccasins / casual loafers with contrast stitching / boat shoes / canvas tennis shoes
Weekend Wear = casual, relaxing, friends and errands or choresBoat Shoes / Camp moccasins / Birkenstocks & sandals / canvas tennis shoes
It is to be noted that business wear and business casual do not really change much during warm weather. If wearing a business suit, traditional black, brown and cordovan footwear are still your best choices. These cap toes, oxfords, balmorals and slip-ins will also work with brighter shirt and tie combinations you may want to try out.
For those men who like to switch to light colored dress shoes in warm months, it is necessary to admit that this can be a difficult trick to pull off because softer colored leathers – creams, pale tans and other earth tones – can look both affected and aesthetically unsettling. It takes a very specific kind of outfit to provide the same level of professionalism and balance that traditional darker colors offer.
Dressing for a business casual environment brings in a different class of footwear. When pairing your shoes with lightweight chinos, linen or other summer fabrics, penny loafers and boat shoes are traditional options that reduce the formality while still not straying into weekend territory.
