From slippers to suede and European influence abroad, shoe
trends are set for a stylish year in 2014. Nicholas Hurtado, co-founder of Beckett Simonon, a leading online
retailer of affordable men’s footwear, provides his insight on how to walk the
walk with upcoming stylish footwear trends this year:
Relaxed Style: Style doesn’t have to come at the expense of
comfort. The classic slipper is on track to make a huge comeback, offering a
dressier footwear alternative made of lighter, comfortable materials such as
suede and nubuck. The driving loafer will also be a trend to watch this spring
and summer, leading the way in comfort with a lightweight and flexible style.
Sharp Suede: Suede is definitely the trendy material in the
footwear industry and it isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon. From shoes to
boots, suede is never the wrong choice. The suede desert boot is a classic style that has proven itself to yearlong fashion
appeal.
A Dash of Color: With the onset of warmer weather and
brighter color palettes emerging for spring and summer clothes, colored soles
will continue to be in style. Popular sole colors to keep an eye out for will be
blue and red brick, adding a subtle yet stylish pop to shoe choices.
The Italian Way: Across the pond on the Italian peninsula,
men have mastered the artful combination of going sock-less and rolling the hems
of their chinos and denim. This trend is the epitome of street style, and it’s
about time Americans got on board.
Classically Cool: Timeless styles such as monkstraps and
longwings will be sure hits this spring and summer. For the dapper daredevils,
look for shoes made of specialty leathers including metallic, quilted,
perforated and woven to add a bit of edge.
