In recent years, there’s been a significant shift toward versatile footwear that not only looks great but also provides comfort and practicality. From white sneakers to slip-on loafers and casual clogs, there are plenty of stylish shoe options for both men and women that can easily transition from a laid-back day to a more polished evening look, striking the perfect balance between dressy and casual. This blog post explores some of these shoes that go with everything, focusing on materials like merino wool and hemp, which are becoming increasingly popular for their sustainability and comfort.
1. White Sneakers: The Everyday Casual Essential
When it comes to versatility, it’s hard to beat a classic white sneaker. A staple in both men’s and women’s wardrobes, white sneakers are the perfect footwear choice for everyday casual outfits, and can also be dressed up for the office or going out. Running errands, meeting friends for coffee, or strolling through the park—these shoes go anywhere and with almost everything.
For men, a sleek white sneaker like The RS01 Sneaker can effortlessly complement a pair of chinos or jeans, adding a contemporary edge to a simple t-shirt or button-up shirt. For women, white sneakers like The Lace Up Sneaker can be paired with everything from casual dresses to leggings or skinny jeans. They add a clean, fresh touch to any outfit, making them the perfect balance of style and comfort.
What’s great about Rothy’s sneakers is that they’re sustainably constructed with thread made from recycled plastic bottles. Not only are they sustainable—they’re also 100% machine washable. Worried about stains, streaks or dirt on your white sneaks? Just toss them in the wash, air dry and you’ve got fresh sneakers looking good as new.
2. Slip-On Loafers: From Office to Date Night
If you’re looking for shoes that can easily transition from a day in the office to a casual night out, look no further than slip-on loafers. These versatile shoes are just as stylish as they are practical, making them perfect for a wide range of occasions, dressy or casual.
For men, a pair of Ravello Loafers in a neutral tone can complement both business and casual outfits. Wear them with dress pants for a polished office look or with jeans for a more relaxed vibe when heading out to dinner or a casual date night. The slip-on design adds convenience and comfort, especially for those who are always on the go. For an added touch, men’s Ravello Tassel Loafers include a tassel embellishment that can elevate your look.
Women can also rock slip-on loafers in various styles and colors, from the minimal Almond Loafer style to some with unique embellishments like The Braid Driver or The Double Bit Driver. They can easily be paired with office trousers or a skirt for a professional look. And, when it's time to wind down, they look just as chic with a pair of slim jeans or even a casual dress, making them the perfect day-to-night shoes. Choose from black, beige, red, blue, pink and more to fit your unique style.
Just like white sneakers, Rothy’s slip-on loafers are also sustainably made with recycled plastic bottles. Rothy’s has even experimented with different prints and textures—like basketweave and bouclé—using innovative techniques with recycled plastic bottles.
