There are so many great men's loafers out there, I sometimes find it difficult to believe that guys ever tie a pair of oxfords when they're going casual -- unless of course it's a pair of sneakers, then I totally get it.

But men's loafers are so much more than sneakers: they're a versatile and stylish shoe choice -- great for dressing up casual wear, or for adding a relaxed feel to dress attire.

Check out these top picks in men's loafers to see some of the my favorite styles of the season.

Though I've sung the praises of flat boots before, this past weekend reminded me again how much I love wearing them -- I especially like tall flat boots.

Of course, some styles are strictly for casual wear, but if you can find a pair that can be dressed up or down, you're really in business, since you can pair them with skirts, sweater dresses, or skinny jeans. As proof of their versatility, I took advantage of the pair shown here about three times over the last five days.

In fact, I enjoyed wearing these boots so much over the past weekend, that I'm looking for a similar over-the-knee style in chocolate suede. Here are a few of my other favorite flat boots.

While browsing Manolo Blahnik's new Resort Collection at NeimanMarcus.com, be sure to have a look at their exclusive video interview. My favorite part is his refusal to hold one of the shoes on camera ... so charming, so sincere ... I love this guy.
