Suede

When the sunshine finally comes out, nothing puts more spring in your step than a pair of suede shoes. Lightweight and breathable, there's never been a wider array of colors and styles available. Whether you go with a classic brown derby or bolder tones on a pair of sneakers, suede's an essential you can pretty much start wearing as soon as it's over 50 degrees. And once the heat really starts to hit—think about going sockless.
