For years, the boat shoe has been a staple of the both the upwardly mobile and old money alike. Designed with the practicality of a non-slip shoe for the deck of a sailboat in mind, the Sperry Top-Sider (designed in 1935) has become the cornerstone of nautical style. Other brands, Rockport and Tommy Bahama, have followed suit designing their own interpretations of the classic.
After years of the same, tired visage- the boat shoe has been revived and given a facelift. No longer for Zach Morris types only, the range of color is reaching out to the masses and should be embraced.
A more daring color choice, but the burnt orarnge could complement your summer tan quite smartly. What to wear with orange? Stay safe with earth tones- but I would love to see this with turquoise. Maybe I'm crazy!
With such a blue scene happening for Spring, whats not to love about these?
It might be a stretch to try these with blue jeans, but possibly with a pair of white chinos or linen pants. If you are daring, give the new "tight roll" a try. (See my third entry)
Try these with an off-beat pair of plaid shorts and a Hanes v-neck for summer ease.
Mr Carosi would not object to Zach wearing such uniform friendly shoes.
