From shades of beige to functionality to length, there’s a lot to consider when shopping around for these basic, must-have bottoms. Well, we’ve made it easy for you, with the following selection of khakis. We’ve got various price points and styles, but each one of these is a winning addition to your summer wardrobe.

Why it’s worth the splurge: Summer work shoes are hard to come by, especially when it comes to work. Sneakers are too casual for many work environments while oxfords feel extra stuffy during the warm weather. The perfect medium: bucks. While it’s a bit of a splurge, J. Crew’s bucks are on sale for $98 (originally $140), making this a steal. Get the Italian suede shoe with leather lining and rubber soles in honey brown and canvas before it’s too late.
