Alright, so, here's the problem... I'm not down with boat shoes. I never have been, and I probably never will be. I spent the first six months of their resurgence making fun of people I knew who wore them, and since then, I've just sort of resigned myself to defeat. I don't really do loafers, either.
But man, boat shoes and loafers account for like a full half of what people tell you to wear during casual outings in warm weather! I'm thinking more like the tone Bass puts out, but less clunky and dad-like. Nordstrom's 1901 seems to have some good options, but I'm not in love with most of their color options. It's just, I typically wear boots, and I'm finding that they seem less and less appropriate with the tone of the outfits that I've started putting together now that the weather has officially gotten hot as hell (HAH).
I've got a pair of Clarks Jinks that kind of fill the spot at the moment, but I'd like something less... Clarksy. I also have a pair of blue suede cap toes I got from UO on sale that I really enjoy, but find somewhat limited, as I wear dark jeans and navy khakis often and it's a little monochromatic to rock blues shoes with them. Presently considering http://www.dillards.com/product/Hush..._301_502881324, but it's hard to get a sense for the sizing. Anyone else have any brands or styles they favor?
