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.

Hamilton has expanded its Khaki Aviation collection with several new models spanning the Pilot Pioneer and X-Wind families, drawing inspiration from the brand's military and air force heritage.

The 40mm steel chronograph features a striking blue sunray dial with subdials for 60-second and 30-minute timing, inspired by rugged timepieces supplied to the British Royal Air Force in the 1970s. A distinctive box-shaped sapphire crystal emphasizes the vintage aesthetic, while the hand-wound mechanical movement provides 60 hours of power reserve and 100m water resistance.

A. Lange & Söhne masters tradition and precision with two new watches
Lange 1815 Tourbillon

A. Lange & Söhne stands as a paragon of Germanic precision in the horological industry, renown for mechanical artistry and uncompromising craftsmanship. The Glashütte manufacturer once again reigns supreme with the simultaneous debut of two exemplary timepieces: the 1815 Tourbillon and the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds. These watches, while singular in their complication, are united by a shared commitment to technical excellence, artistic ingenuity, and the poetic expression of time. They represent the yin and yang of the Lange core essentials: one, an impassioned reconnection with a classic complication; the other, a dynamic, scientific instrument dedicated to absolute precision. Together, they provide a compelling glimpse into the future of Saxon watchmaking, where tradition never stands still, but rather is continuously refined and reimagined.
