Boat shoes are having a fab comeback (they truthfully never went out in some circles, and that circle includes most of the men in my life), and I’m loving it. I’m drawn to the contemporary styling — not as preppy and on the nose as they’ve historically been — and typically paired with looser fit silhouettes and even a slightly boho flare. My top rec: this pair by Loeffler Randall, seen on the founder of the brand below.
