When wearing shorts, either casual or smart casual, there is a type of shoes that is suitable.

First, the shorts should be between one and three inches above your knees, for both men and women.

If you have the confidence to showcase your legs, then you can wear shorts with fewer inches above the knees.

PENNY LOAFERS

This type of loafer has a thick sole but with no laces.

Paired with shorts, loafers make the perfect look for daytime outings and activities.

One has the choice to wear this outfit as formal or informal, paired with a floral shirt and blazer.

This definitely gives a semi-formal look to the hot sun, if you don’t wear socks and add a denim jacket.

One can also wear boat shoes, which almost look like penny loafers, but they have laces.

TRAINERS

Any type of flat sole sneaker is called a trainer, provided it also has laces.

Wearing trainers with shorts gives a sporty and informal look.

Even older people can try this sporty look because it makes them look younger and stylish.

Sneakers look great with T-shirts and polos, but they can definitely be worn with casual shirts, too.

Most sneakers fall within minimal leather, canvas, athletic and German army trainer categories.

SLIP-ON

Slip-on shoes are basically shoes that have no laces. As the name suggests, you just slip your legs into the shoes.

Consider pairing a white polo shirt with shorts to achieve a laid-back look for the weekend.

A pair of white slip-on sneakers makes your look complete, but you can also try other colours.

One should not wear slip-on without socks because you might get blisters.

Add a pair of boat socks and not ankle socks that are visible around the ankle area.

Boat socks are a must-have for everybody’s wardrobe. They just cover the feet and around the heel area.

SANDALS

Sandals fall into three categories: walking/hiking, gladiator style or flip flops.

Sandals are more casual than sneakers because of the allowance they leave with your toes exposed.

Flip flops leave almost the whole foot bare, while gladiator sandals have several straps.

Wearing sandals with shorts is suitable for a beach outfit and not formal.

Avoid wearing socks with sandals, regardless of the type of sandals, because it’s uncultured.
