I can wear this with board shorts to the beach, in a pair of jeans and no socks to hang out at the local cafe and read a book, or wearing a nice pair of khaki slacks and a button-down for a bit more formality. Just versatile and extremely comfortable. And they never stink after wearing them without socks. This is my 2nd pair and I love them. I get a lot of people asking where I got them. I also love hemp products.
