Senator wear is smart, simple and quietly powerful, and the shoe should follow that lead. Too casual undercuts it, too flashy fights it. Here is what shoes match Senator wear, and how to get it right.
Keep it clean and understated
Senator is about restraint, so the shoe should be too. A clean leather shoe in a solid colour beats anything loud. Let the fabric and the fit do the talking.
Loafers, monk straps and half shoes are the best match
A loafer, monk strap, mule or half shoe suits Senator perfectly: smart, slip-on and clean lined. A double monk strap adds quiet structure for formal days, while a half shoe keeps it light and easy for everyday.
Leather slides for relaxed Senator
For a casual Senator outfit, a clean leather slide works and keeps you cool. Save it for relaxed settings rather than formal ceremonies.
A refined sandal for the heat
When it is hot, a structured leather sandal keeps a Senator look cool without looking scruffy. Tan or brown suits the fabric best.
