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.

Complete in different shades of white, this Salehe Bembury x Moncler Trailgrip Amoeba shoe showcases the best of both brands, without losing its premium quality. The shoe is available for purchase via Moncler and retails for $820. While this design is yet another remixed collaboration, the functional features of Moncler and the unique styling of Salehe Bembury give it a new look that’ll stun long after winter officially ends.
