Get ready to set sail with one of this season's most popular trends, the boat shoe. Sometimes referred to as deck shoes or top-siders, these preppy shoes were designed in the 1930s as a durable option for boaters on slippery decks. Crafted out of canvas or leather and a rubber sole, they have always been a comfortable and durable choice. Much to our delight, boat shoes have recently been given a modern makeover with bright colors and metallic materials. They've ventured off the deck and into the shoe collections of laid back girls and fashionistas alike.
With such versatility, boat shoes can add a nautical vibe to any ensemble. A traditional brown selection can be paired with a striped dress for a yacht worthy look. Matching a colorful pair with a floral print is fun way to show off your style. Who knew being fashionable could be as easy as slipping on a pair of these deck shoes? All aboard the boat shoe trend!
