In the coming year, shoes will delight representatives of the stronger half of humanity with a variety of models and colors. If in 2015 conservative style and traditional black and brown colors were in the lead, then in the spring-summer season products presented by famous manufacturers look brighter and more original, while remaining stylish and comfortable.
Fashionable men's shoes for the summer are characterized by a combination of sporty and classic trends, versatility and good taste, luxury and democracy.
Main trends
Today, fashionable men's shoes are moving away from the classics of the genre and have a pronounced youth character. In the latest designer collections you can see an abundance of free and sporty styles.
Adherents of minimalism can rest assured - severity will not disappear anywhere, but it will be present in its best manifestation, allowing it to adapt to a man’s everyday image, making it more vibrant and stylish.
The main trend in men's shoes for the spring-summer season is that the style is not so clearly expressed. Sports elements can be seen in almost every second model. This is a significant advantage, since the choice of wardrobe items suitable for a particular shoe is significantly expanded. For example, sneakers in combination with suit trousers are no longer considered a sign of bad taste.
Designers still rely on comfort, using only high-quality textures in the manufacture of products, but the models have become more creative.
Men's fashion shoes amaze with their bold colors, unexpected combinations, and variety of decorative elements. In the spring-summer 2017 collections, it is represented by products that most successfully combine casual and sporty styles. This innovative approach found a response in the hearts of many males, regardless of age and social status.
The main features of men's shoes for the spring-summer season:
These can be bright unusual prints (geometric, ethnic, animalistic, reptile skin), appliqués, stripes.
Texture and color palette
Genuine leather is most often used for sewing shoes; this texture has already proven itself positively due to wear resistance, presentability and practicality. Designers remained true to established traditions and for the most part chose this particular material for the manufacture of men's shoes for the spring-summer season.
Models made of thin exclusive leather are comfortable even in hot weather, but it is more appropriate to put off nubuck until the onset of cold weather.
Very popular are those made from combination leather of contrasting shades, with inserts of other textures. Models made from artificial ones look no less impressive and are much cheaper, but they are not as comfortable for the legs.
Also, fashionable men's shoes can be made of canvas, linen, textiles, patent leather.
Dark colors will give way to flashy shades:
- yellow;
- orange;
- purple;
- burgundy;
- red;
- sea green color.
Products intended for the summer period do not necessarily have to be flashy, but it is desirable if they have some kind of catchy accent.
The most current models
The variety of summer models allows men to choose shoes for all occasions; you shouldn’t limit yourself to just moccasins or flip-flops. You need to understand that a fashionable model for the office is not at all suitable for walking in the fresh air or relaxing.
Moccasins
They are not going to give up the palm in 2017 either. Thanks to their versatility and convenience, they are loved by many men. They not only fit perfectly on the leg and provide air circulation, but also go well with other wardrobe items, be it jeans, shorts or light trousers, including classic ones. The trend of the season is stylish leather models, decorated with fringe or thick tassels. The most popular colors for summer continue to be brown, black and beige, but if a man chooses bright shades, this will make him stand out from the crowd.
Loafers
The second most popular model, which has won recognition due to its versatility. They go perfectly with any jeans or trousers, which significantly increases their price in the eyes of men who adhere to conservatism in clothing and do not like experiments. Loafers made of perforated leather or textile on a flat sole with a small wide heel are a great option for the summer, besides, the quality of these shoes is beyond praise, they serve their owner for more than one season.
By the way, moccasins and loafers are informal shoes that should be worn without socks. However, if the dress code requires it, socks are chosen to match the trousers or, conversely, in a contrasting shade.
Oxfords
Another model designed for fans of traditional style. Laconic, elegant and strict oxfords are not inferior to fashionable moccasins and are invariably present in designer collections. Black and brown models are popular, but white and blue will be the undoubted favorite. They go with literally every wardrobe item.
If you choose suede, you will not regret the choice; it is perfectly breathable. In stylish suede derbies there will not be the slightest feeling of discomfort. Looks great with both pants and shorts, the only difference is that if you wear shorts, don't even think about socks.
Top Siders
This type of shoe appeared in the 80s, when yachting was in its heyday. Nowadays it is not at all necessary to have a yacht, but top-siders are in the wardrobe of almost every man. Outwardly, they resemble moccasins, but at the front and back of the heel they are necessarily secured with laces made of genuine leather for a better fit. They are worn on bare feet, without socks. Both classic and bright shades are popular.
Sandals
Hit of the season 
will be sandals made in the Greek style. Not all men would dare to purchase such outrageous items, but isn’t summer the time for bold decisions? No one is going to cancel the classic brown and black models either, but designers still advise giving preference to bright options.
Classic sandals with wide straps are more familiar to the eye and can be worn with both trousers and shorts. It is worth taking into account that the products should be made of natural materials (leather, textiles, cotton), and the soles should be made of rubber, since cheaper models with rubber running can cause an unpleasant odor from the feet.
By the way, the question of whether it is possible to wear socks with sandals this year received a clear answer: yes, you can! Now this controversial duet is not a crime against taste, but a hot trend, proof of this is the fashion shows of famous designers.
Slip-ons
Light as slippers, with a thin and flexible sole, with a tongue on the instep and without special fastening on the foot, they have not gone out of fashion for many seasons.
This summer, models made of thick textiles and denim are popular.
Sleepers
Semi-closed, lightweight textile shoes with flat soles without laces or fasteners, which look like cozy slippers, have been loved by both men and women for some time now. Women's slippers look sleeker and may even have a small heel. Men's are much more modest; models in bright, catchy colors are popular this season.
Some stylists claim that this type of shoe can be worn almost with a classic suit, but most designers still agree that this is a non-standard type of shoe that looks better with shorts, light cotton pants and jeans. They wear sleepers and slip-ons without socks.
Where would we be without these beloved sports shoes? Designers recommend giving preference to products that combine comfort, practicality and creativity. For example, black models with a metallic sheen and bright sneakers (burgundy, scarlet, orange) made of light texture will be very relevant. The universal combination of black and white colors is relevant at all times.
Sneakers with chunky soles
Prefer something lighter than sneakers? Then sneakers are at your service. This summer, models with thick soles will be very popular. They can be made of leather or textiles. Light, stylish products will delight you with a riot of colors and a variety of prints, such as bold leopard or strict geometric.
The most affordable and simplest type of summer shoes, a significant item in a wardrobe intended for vacation. They come in two types: flip-flops and classic ones, without straps or jumpers. Lightweight flip-flops are becoming more popular; they look great not only on the beach, but also at a friendly party.
To draw attention to this type of shoe, modern designers decorate it with branded stickers, appliqués and other decorative elements.
The most comfortable shoes for tourism, hiking and traveling are boots. They are distinguished by their great versatility - among a wide range of modern models, you can choose the right pair for routes of any complexity and any season.
Are the boots suitable for spring and summer hiking?

- maintain an optimal microclimate;

It may seem to many that men don’t care what shoes they wear, but this is not at all true. Modern men are well versed in the variety of branded shoes, they can easily distinguish oxfords from low shoes and slippers from slip-ons, and in general, they know very well which models will be comfortable in them and which ones will not. The only thing that remains for them to find out is what the Spring/Summer 2016 fashion trends in shoes for men are, which we will now tell you about.
Fashionable men's shoes Spring 2016
Men's shoe collections Spring/Summer 2016 include a fairly wide selection of models, but most of them are created in a classic conservative style. Material - leather, color - black or brown, design - laconic. Even those designers who create casual shoes have complemented their outfits with shoes suitable for the most formal occasions! It goes without saying that this does not mean that the choice of fashionistas is limited only to elegant models, since sports are also one of the main trends of the season. And yet, this season, spring shoes are distinguished by grace and style.
If you want to have models from the new Spring 2016 shoe collections, you can choose models in two main styles - business and casual. Stylish shoes Spring 2016 are:
- Chelsea (John Varnatos, Prada)
- monks (Lanvin, Polo Ralph Lauren, Vivienne Westwood)
- Oxford shoes (Hermes, Versace, Filippa K)
If you prefer an informal style, then try to include the following models in your fashionable spring wardrobe:
- classic low shoes (Dunhill, Valentino, Z Zegna)
- high top sneakers (Louis Vuitton, Diesel Black Gold, Dsquared²)
- sneakers (Dior Homme, Marni, Richard Chai)
Fashionable men's shoes Summer 2016
The summer period always offers fashionistas many more opportunities, and Summer 2016 is no exception. At the same time, diversity is observed not only in styles, but also in color shades of the models. If spring design solutions are distinguished by a restrained color palette, then shoes for summer are a riot of colors and a non-standard approach to creating seemingly familiar models.
Of course, none of the designers forgot that summer vacation lasts only a few days, and the rest of the time fashionistas have to go to work, so along with trendy summer models, they offer stylish shoes that can be worn in combination with business suits. In addition, men's sports shoes have not been forgotten, but if brands recommend high-top sneakers for the spring, then in the summer you can wear low ones, made not of leather, but of textiles.
Among all the stylish models that designers have created for the Summer 2016 season, you can buy:
- slippers (Jeffrey Rudes, Richard James, Ralph Lauren)
- loafers (Missoni, Ermenegildo Zegna, )
- top-siders (Moncler Gamme Blue, Michael Kors Collection, No. 21)
Men's casual shoes that are in fashion in the Summer 2016 season are:
- slip-ons (Bottega Venetta, Richard James, Neil Barrett)
- leather in Greek style (Salvattore Ferragamo, Moschino, Maison Margiela)
- flip-flops (Dries Van Noten, Marc Jacobs, Robert Geller)
Spring/Summer 2016 trends: men's shoes in non-standard colors and shades
When creating their models, many designers decided to do without experiments and presented men's shoes in white, black, brown and dark blue. And yet, this color palette is extremely insufficient to satisfy the requirements of absolutely all fashionistas, so if you pay attention to the photos of the Spring/Summer 2016 shoe collections, you will notice several truly bold decisions. Moreover, colors that were previously only present in women's collections appeared for the first time in men's collections. Such innovations include leopard prints, which flaunt on Dries Van Noten, or python embossing, such as at Salvatorre Ferragamo. In addition, you can find men's espadrilles with embroidery (in the Dolce&Gabbana and Moschino collections), as well as Chelsea boots with rhinestones (Maison Margiela).
It is impossible not to note the presence of original styles in men's shoe collections. For example, the Balmain collection features men's gladiator sandals, and the Unit Benan collection features high-platform flip-flops.
Fashionable men's shoes 2016 are presented in a huge variety. The designers decided to put practicality, comfort and quality characteristics first, and only then design. Representatives of the stronger half of the world will be able to appear in both an extravagant style and an elegant image. We invite you to find out what fashionable men's shoes will be like in 2016, and photos of trends will help fashionistas decide on their choice.
Men's shoes summer 2016 are replete with a variety of styles. The main trends of the summer season include animal print, shiny sneakers and, most importantly, ventilated gaps.
Perforations and cuts. The shoes are presented with cutouts and small holes for ventilation, which will be incredibly practical in the summer heat.
Spippers and espadrilles. Every fashionista's summer arsenal should have sleepers, slip-ons, espadrilles, which can be decorated with designs with pineapples, flowers, ethnic prints and even cute ants. These models look great with white jeans and light trousers.
