Famous for being worn as part of a prepster’s uniform, we know they have a bit of a stigma. When we think boat shoe, we think summer – going to the beach, afternoons with friends or if you’re lucky, sundowners on a boat. We like them because they look better than flip-flops and nearly as comfortable and easy to throw on.
Somewhat of a footwear chameleon, boat shoes are easy to dress up or down. When styling your look, think of them as a subtle counterpart to the rest of your outfit. We prefer them as their best versions of themselves – the originals. Think: Neutral leather, moccasin-style upper with rugged laces and a slip-proof rubber sole.
Whether or not you're a big fan of superhero movies, you kind of have to admit that, while they look cool and seem to make sense in the cartoons, those suits they wear certainly seem a little over the top. Bruce Wayne must surely get hot under that mask with its little ears? And despite all of his powers, Clark Kent must get just as annoyed as the rest of us when that massive cape gets caught on the door handle?
We can't really answer those questions, since these characters don't actually exist, weird fashion or not. You know what does exist, though? The kind of suit that does make a lot of sense: these ladies sleeveless swimsuits from Sun Scribe!
