Long gone are the days when practicality sat at the bottom of our fashion must-have list. Now, we’re all about finding pieces that are functional and chic – because those two things are not mutually exclusive. <\/p>\n

This is where the latest must-have shoe style of the season comes in. Let us re-introduce you to driver shoes. Originally designed for comfortable driving, they’re rooted in practicality yet come with plenty of style and versatility. Not quite a boat shoe, not quite a loafer, yet they still offer the same polished finish to any look.
<\/p>\n

As this season’s latest go-to shoe, there isn’t a shortage of options to choose from, but there’s one style in particular that’s caught our eye. Of course, it’s from high street favourite Marks & Spencer – and best of all, it’s currently in the summer sale<\/a>.

Designed in a classic soft moccasin style, M&S’ suede take on the driver shoe is so timeless. In a dark tan suede with ruching and stitch detailing around the front of the shoe, complete with a bow. They’re currently on sale for \u00a322.40, with most sizes still available to shop online.<\/p>\n

What we love most about the driver shoe is that it will work with just about any outfit with little-to-no thinking required. Pair them with denim shorts and a linen shirt for an off-duty summer look, or wear them with tailored trousers for a smart, elevated office style.
<\/p>\n

We’re certain this M&S pair will see you into autumn too, making them a genuinely transitional fashion piece for your wardrobe rather than a fleeting seasonal buy. Just add a fine knit sock when the temperatures drop and they’ll work just as hard with tailored trousers and jeans come autumn. We’re sold!<\/p>\n
