3 Classic Wardrobes to Rock With Your Sandals

3 Classic Wardrobes to Rock With Your Sandals

Is there anything more satisfying than an outfit that just works?


With clothes being such a defining aspect of how you express yourself, cultivating the right wardrobe can become a part-time job! It's not made easier by the number of choices you have. Also, all the different styles...the list goes on. 


With men's style, it's particularly tricky because so much of the fashion world caters to women. Especially when it comes to shoes. It's difficult finding men's sandals and it's even more difficult to know what to wear with them.


Well, this will make it a little easier. Read on to find out how to freshen up your wardrobe by incorporating sandals.


Tried and True


Men's sandals can be polarizing, many love them and many hate them. It's time everyone starts to appreciate the comfortable and stylish options on the market today. One of the best ways to start incorporating sandals into your outfits is by keeping it classic.


Think about the most traditional look you can, what comes to mind? Most likely it's a fitted t-shirt, some high-quality jeans and shoes to match. While the usual shoe is a sneaker, there's something classic about a pair of comfortable sandals to tie the whole outfit together. 


If you like classic but want to step it up a notch, try a button-up shirt with a subtle print. The goal with classics is that it doesn't take a lot of planning, a simple outfit that is universally flattering. 


Switching out shoes for sandals reinvents the idea of this tried and true classic look but adds another level of cozy. Especially in those hot summer months, your feet will be grateful to get some cool air. 


For women, it isn't too different. The idea of a plain t-shirt, jeans, and some casual flip flops works the same. That's the great thing about this old-school look, it's adaptable by both men and women.


Sometimes the classic look is a little too mild for some women. If you want to take it up a notch without going all out, consider adding some statement pieces. Think chunky necklaces or bold earrings.


No matter how you style it, you'll look (and feel) effortlessly cool. 


The Bold Approach


Sometimes, the minimalist approach doesn't cut it. You might be someone with a flair for the bold. Vibrant colors, loud patterns, unique pieces - the works. 


This can mean all different types of outfits. One of the most recent trending looks is the color block. These are wardrobe pieces that contain contrasting blocks of vibrant colors. 


Now it's up to you to figure out how much you want to push it. You can wear a classic outfit and then add a statement color block jacket to emphasize your look or go all out! Wear mixed patterns and multiple colors, then try tying it together with leather flip flops. 


Few people can pull this off but anything is possible with some confidence. For some unique pieces, men should consider browsing thrift stores. You'll find unique pieces at an affordable price.


Part of the magic with bold outfits is experimenting. Take a day to go over everything you have in your closet. Mix and match pieces you don't think will work, you never know what you'll find.


For women, a lot of the same ideas apply. If you're thinking of a bold look, try checking out some thrift stores as well. Let's say you find a vintage bright orange 60's dress, all you need to do is add some platform sandals and you got yourself an outfit.


If you want to do a nice pop of bold without going all out, try incorporating a statement piece. For men, that can be a monochromatic watch. For women, that can be an elaborate hair accessory. 


Having a bold style is like a painting. You're the canvas, the clothes are your paints and brushes. 


Athleisure Reinvented


The global athleisure market is growing. It's no wonder! Long are the days where you had to pick between comfortable and practical - you can have both! 


Certain sandals apply to the athleisure ethos. In fact, this is where men's sandals excel. Between slides and the different types of outdoor shoes, you're sure to find something that works for you.


If practical loungewear is what you're searching for then you got options. One of the most comfortable outfits to start with is a high-quality sweatshirt, some training pants, and slides. This is perfect for hanging out at home or for mild activities like walking the dog.


For those who are more athletic or simply enjoy outdoor activities, you're covered too. There are sandals specifically tailored to the more active part portion of the population. Usually waterproof and made with durable materials, sports sandals can be added to any athletic outfit. 


Slides made for women are stylish and comfortable as well. Throw on an oversized sweater, some light leggings, and add slides to create a cozy-chic look. Get the feeling of being wrapped in a blanket without having to stay put in one place.


Hiking footwear will always be popular. Mainly considered boots, sandals are now part of your options. Functional, durable, and comfortable - you'll be able to walk miles through rugged terrain without worrying about your feet. 


Men's Sandals


Picking out your outfit for the day shouldn't be difficult, it should be fun. The options are endless and it can be easy to get overwhelmed by all the directions you can go.


There's always the classic outfit route, something bolder, or keeping it cozy with athleisure. The great thing about any outfit you choose is that sandals can elevate the entire look. Whether it's men's sandals or women's sandals, there's plenty of inspiration out there to freshen up your wardrobe.
