Saks Fifth Avenue Shows Us Their Top Flip Flop & Sandal Picks for 2013

By Tom Handley May 29, 2013

For spring/summer 2013 flip flops and sandals are the must have footwear, and no one is doing it better than Saks Fifth Avenue. Paired with your shorts to your swimwear, or from linen trousers to a casual suit, here are some options to keep you stepping out in style.

The Manual connected with Eric Jennings, Vice President & Fashion Director of Men’s at Saks, about what his thoughts were. “This spring men are embracing color and stripes like never before. From sneakers to flip flops, vibrant colors are what guys are looking for this season in footwear.”

The Canoa flip flop works for the beach or pool. Its sporty looks works perfectly if you’re headed to gym or spending the day, cappuccino in hand. With an upper and sole made of rubber, bring on the washing of the car.

With stripes being one of key trends for this season, there is nothing more elegant than a classic stripe with a leather sole. With white jeans or tailored khakis, head to brunch, and be a hit!

These new vintage flip flops can go from your favorite pair of denim, to a relaxed linen suit when you’re on vacation or just feeling like you are. With a leather upper and rubber sole, what could be better for a relaxed point of view.

Just like Saks.com says: “comfortable and flexible”, what could be better? Slip them on. This is a pair for museum days with the lady-still relaxed, but looking well thought out.

This sandal, in suede, can take you just about anywhere. No, not worn into a well-suited, traditional work place. Perhaps a white linen shirt and your favorite print shorts.

The pre-owned luxury watch market is down, but prices for these 2 Rolexes are up

Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi

According to the Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, which tracks the 50 most traded luxury watches, the pre-owned luxury watch market moved down around 0.1% last month, marking the sign of a patient market that wants more. This isn't necessarily surprising —the index has fallen 8.7% in the past year. But there are a couple of Rolex watches that are bucking the trend: the Rolex Starbucks and the Rolex Pepsi, which gained 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively.

The overall stagnation of the watch market can have various factors, including anticipation for newer releases. External factors like economic and geopolitical conflicts have also affected the way consumers choose to purchase watches. Prices soared during the pandemic, so a leveling out at some point was expected.
