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.

Newest CAT collaboration collection sells out in first week
It was extremely popular and took no time to sellout
CAT x ASSC feature

CAT is as tough as you are. CAT has something for you, whether you are on a construction site, keeping the streets safe, or doing any other hard work vocation. They are the pinnacle of workwear and combine movability with durability while also never sacrificing what looks excellent as well. Then, some collaborations stand above the rest. Most recently, they collaborated with an MLS star to create a great-looking functional collection. However, the latest collaboration from CAT dropped on December 14th and may be the most popular yet, as it sold out in under a week. While the love for a short-run limited edition keeps these happening regularly, we can't lie and say we wish this one had gone on a little longer. We weren't quick enough, but for CAT x ASSC, it is a good problem to have.
Gone in a heartbeat

What made the collaboration so intriguing is the partly the other half of the creative collective. Anti Social Social Club began just under a decade ago when the founder, Neek Lurk (Andrew Buenaflor), used the creative aspect of the brand as an emotional outlet for his depression. Launching it on Twitter and becoming a viral statement of support for emotional health, the brand blew up and has been enjoyed by celebrities such as Kanye West and BTS. They do a lot of collaborations, so it is no surprise that the combination of their streetwear aesthetics combined with CAT's workwear reputation caused this collection to fly off the shelves. We will have to keep our ears to the ground for more coming down the pipe.
