7 Men's Summer Shoe Mistakes & What Shoes To Wear

About this video

The Gazette team identifies seven common mistakes men make when selecting and wearing summer shoes, explaining the formality hierarchy of slip-on shoes like loafers, driving mocs, and boat shoes, and offering guidance on color, material, and investment choices for building a versatile warm-weather shoe wardrobe.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that sandals and flip-flops should be reserved only for specific outdoor occasions like the beach or pool, and should never be worn to restaurants or formal settings
• The Gazette team recommends understanding the formality spectrum of slip-on summer shoes: loafers are most formal, driving mocs are mid-level, and boat shoes are most casual
• The Gazette team suggests investing in shoes with classic leather or rubber soles rather than trendy colored trainer soles, and recommends exploring underutilized colors like green suede or brown-and-white spectators for summer variety
