10 of the best men's boat shoes for summer 2015
Introduce a touch of nautical to your wardrobe with our topsider edit
Originally designed for wear on the deck of a yacht – as the name quite clearly suggests – the boat shoe has transcended its original use to become a modern menswear staple.
It’s easy to see why – sitting in the smart-casual sweet spot, they can be dressed up or down with ease and will bring a summer-ready, nautical feel to any warm-weather ensemble.
Here, we highlight some of our favourite designs on the current market, from traditional topsiders to contemporary statement versions.
1. ASOS Boat Shoes in Suede
Online retailer ASOS has taken the humble boat shoe in a premium direction this season, updating the age-old silhouette in premium suede.
They may not be the most practical for wet weather (or the deck of a boat), but they will look super-suave teamed with white or navy chinos on a sun-soaked day.
Available at ASOS, priced £40.
