Work shoes – combine informal style with professional

The hot days that are felt already make you dream of bare feet in the sand, but for many, the holidays are still a mirage and slippers still cannot replace shoes to work.

The good news is that work shoes no longer have to be synonymous with discomfort or lack of aesthetics. Since the expression Thank God it’s Friday became popular in the USA (tribute to the last working day of work and the proximity of the well-deserved rest days), the dress code required by companies has started to change.

In the 90s, the concept was accentuated and extended to clothing and footwear, allowing more formal ties, suits, clothes and shoes to give way to a more comfortable and relaxed look.

Today, most traditional companies still apply the casual friday concept, but most (especially the most recent ones) no longer impose a strict dress code on their employees on a daily basis. And our feet are grateful.

It´s important to match the company’s image, maintain a professional presentation and, of course, dress and put on according to the needs and tasks performed. However, there´s already a lot of offer that allows you to choose a comfortable and more informal outfit, with refinement necessary to the work context.

Get inspired by these looks suitable for a casual Friday or day-to-day in a more relaxed company and, whether you work in an office or have to walk a lot on the street, see here which models of shoes to work informally will not compromise your professional image. Just make your day easier:

This brand is commonly associated with its informal sneakers and more targeted at young people. However, it´s enough to combine these models with chino pants or a simple blazer coat that are perfectly suited to the work context.
