Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: every man needs a pair of boat shoes. Well, guess what, some fashion maxims are borderline clichés for a reason. Fact is, you do need a boat shoe in your footwear arsenal.
For starters, the nautical loafer’s origin story is the stuff of legend. Here’s a shoe that toiled in relative obscurity for decades. Its non-slip sole made it popular with well-heeled yachters who loved the fact the shoe didn’t scuff up their boats – because it only came in white. But like all classics initially designed with function in mind, boat shoes jumped ship from sailing’s subcultures and became everyday staples for all. That’s rad and democratic.
Now here’s the good news. Because the ‘80s are over you don’t have to be preppy to wear them. Today boat shoes have been thoroughly tricked out to adapt to a wide variety of looks. A leather two tone model, for example, keeps it textbook with nautical details and delivers at the office, casual Friday style, and out on the town. With a clean, tailored silhouette there’s no quit in this shoe’s versatility. Dress it up by night or play it weekend chill; a solid boat shoe will help your wardrobe set sail.
