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

Saks Fifth Avenue

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.

Prada

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.

Ugg Australia

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.

Style hacks: Your suit should come with two pairs of pants
Remedy one of the biggest struggles with suits with this one hack
Man in Men's Wearhouse Blue Suit

When I first started selling suits, it was mostly to men who were leaving the military and starting as aides to politicians, or men working as doctors, lawyers, or accountants. Then, of course, you had the lucrative wedding business. But one thing was common among every man I sold suits to: They were hardworking and spent their days getting things done.

Now, while this sounds honorable and a fantastic way for a man to live life, working hard and providing for his family, there are some setbacks or some side effects to this lifestyle. One of them is the impact it has on your best suits. Suit pants for men are typically lighter, with an elevated fabric that doesn't always stand up to the more rigorous work of the hardest-working men. Therefore, there's a hack that you should start implementing in your suit shopping every chance you get. Every suit you own should come with a second pair of pants. It will save you years of heartache.
