Business Shoes- The New Casual look

Getting through life in the right shoes is tricky business. The trickiest dress code in footwear is business casual. Smarter than smart-casual, but less buttoned-up than all-out business, it’s a tough one to define. Business casual is that treacherous middle ground where you are trying to achieve two things, smart yet relaxed.

 A good business casual shoe can be one of two things. A casual version of a business shoe or a smart version of a casual shoe. The first route, for example, could be a classic brogue but with a casual twist such as a chunky wedge sole, or in a colored suede. Whereas the second route could be a sneaker but, in a luxury, smart leather.

Here we guide you through the best styles of business casual shoe out there, from chunky chukka boots to precious penny loafers, so you’ll never again be caught out in the wrong work shoes again. Also, you can shop sandals online for the casual look.

Suede Derby

The Derby shoe is the more relaxed, laid-back cousin of that business wear mainstay, the Oxford. It all comes down to the laces, with the space between the eyelets sewn shut in the ‘closed system’ on a pair of Oxfords, while they flap open when the laces are undone with the Derby. A subtle difference, sure, but one that makes all the difference. Relax the style further with a suede finish to take the edge off the polished leather.

Minimalist Sneakers

Sneakers have smartened up substantially over the last decade, and have slowly crept off the tennis court and into the office. But just as you wouldn’t waltz into work like a walking billboard wearing big-logo sweats, your sneakers should be pretty sober, too. Focus on making an impression with a quality leather finish.

Penny Loafers

The penny loafer differs from other loafers by the strip of leather that sits pretty across the front with a diamond cut-out detail. Penny Loafers are all about fit
