Suede Summer Loafers

There is a shoe that the Italian coastal towns invented and the rest of the world has been trying to copy ever since. A suede upper with no ornamentation — no penny strap, no tassel, no hardware — sitting on a low white cupsole that gives it just enough height to read as a shoe rather than a slipper. The result is something that slips on without socks and works with everything from linen trousers to light-wash denim without requiring a second thought.

In six colours: apricot, black, blue, cameo brown, dark coffee, and gray blue. The apricot shown here is the summer answer — warm, relaxed, and the kind of colour that photographs well in any light. The darker tones extend the shoe’s range into cooler months and more formal contexts.

The best summer shoe is the one you don’t notice you’re wearing until you take it off.
