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
