Showy socks may be a part of golf style heritage, but these golf sneakers from OluKai are actually designed to be worn barefoot. The breathable mesh upper, sock-like lining, and drop back heel are meant to just slip right on. This allows your feet to breathe as much as possible when hitting the links on sweltering days. Since the cleated outsole is entirely rubber, you can also rock it as a casual every-day sneaker.

The Adidas Campus is an iconic sneaker that has gone through several updates over the past few decades. With the reissue of the '80s version, you can get your hands on the original design, which is arguably the most stylish. It is a little slimmer and lower profile than modern iterations, which looks better with slim fitting pants and shorts.

If you need to dress up for a flight, or even a long commute, this is the shoe you want to wear. However, it really shines with a pair of chinos or linen trousers, topped off with a knit polo or short sleeve button down.

I’ve been wearing these classic, best-selling Cole Hann dress sneakers since 2021, to the office or any office-adjacent events—happy hour, client meetings, etc. I love that they’ve got the uppers of dress shoes but the footbed of sneakers—it’s the best of both worlds, really.
