NAUTICAL STYLE SUMMER INSPIRATION

nautical-style-summer-inspiration-sperry-boat-shoes - dandy in the bronx

After a dark, snowy winter and a very rainy and cold spring, summer is finally here in NYC! Since I’ll be on the go all summer, the right footwear is going to be key and will totally make all the difference. I recently teamed up with Sperry to style their iconic Original Boat Shoes in Sahara leather, just in time for summer. So sit back, relax, and enjoy that pina colada.

NAUTICAL STYLE SUMMER INSPIRATION

These genuine leather boat shoes not only look awesome, but they’re super practical with their signature 360° lacing system (no tripping on shoelaces here!), and outfitted with Wave-Siping™ for major wet/dry traction necessary for those long walks on the boardwalk or on that yachting adventure with friends. Going with the casually cool

It’s about darn time, and I couldn’t be happier. I am super stoked to start going on weekend adventures, exploring my hometown of NYC, and definitely getting in some traveling.

The first thing that comes to mind when you think about summer is definitely water. All types of water; whether it’s partying it up on a boat, visiting that seaside town, or chilling at the beach, the perfect casual, but still dandy approved pair of summer shoes is essential to getting the most out of your summer style. Enter the boat shoe. So I’ve mentioned before in previous blog posts that I’m all about exploring my city. There’s just so much to do in NYC! So this past weekend I was hanging out at the perfect crossroads of where nautical meets the concrete jungle; the famously fun South Street Seaport neighborhood of NYC. I knew I was going to spend the day walking around the historic waterfront park district, eating at some of the cafes, and later on some outdoor bar-hopping. I was going to need the perfect pair of shoes for my day long excursion.

NO TRIPPING ON SHOELACES HERE

Sperry’s Original Boat Shoe was definitely it. They are the perfect medium of comfort, high quality, and of course dandy-ness. These genuine leather shoes not only look awesome, but they’re super practical with their signature 360° lacing system (no tripping on shoelaces here!), and outfitted with Wave-Siping™ for major wet/dry traction necessary for those long walks on the boardwalk or on that yachting adventure with friends. Going with the casually cool nautical theme, I rocked a seersucker suit (a summer essential for the dandy gentleman) with a cotton v-neck t-shirt for that summertime effortless feel. Since accessories can definitely elevate your look and make it your own, I added some dandy approved suspenders, my trusty bold faced watch and bracelets, flower lapel pin, and finished it all off with my classic Original Boat Shoe. I’m definitely ready for round 2!
