Thread: Need help with shoes - Boat Shoes / Topsiders

I'm going to an event this weekend, it's a party at an upscale bar right next to the beach. It's casual, but upscale, so I'll be wearing a long sleeve button-up shirt with the sleeves partially rolled up and khaki shorts. I am thinking of wearing boat shoes, or topsiders as some call them, and am just looking for some advice. I saw two pairs of shoes tonight that I liked and was wondering which is more "fashionable" or if they're both acceptable. With the first pair, the fact that they're "slip on" reminds me of shoes I wore when I was 7 years old.

I've heard Sperry is a good brand...true?






I know I look like a doofus in this pic, but here's what I'll be wearing

i have two pairs of sperrys, I like them. Two things i recommend obviously dont wear socks, and dont wear them if your going to be doing a ton of walking.

I like the first pair

i like 2nd pair better

cargo shorts are no longer "in".

Damn, really? It's all they sell in the stores around here. Even Men's Warehouse had them for sale. I'm 6'5" so finding shorts that come even close to my knees are difficult :\

I have seen a few amazing pairs made by adidas that i wanted. but they are very very limited

Top pair and wear with light linen pants. No go on the cargo.

Nice pair of seersucker shorts is the bomb...
