Fashion for guys. They have it easy-er. Somewhat. A bit. Maybe because I'm not one. Whatever.
Philip from Virginia wanted to know if I care about men's style at all, and if I do, what one trend am I loving for the spring.
Philip, I love men's style. I love seeing a well dressed man.
But the trend that had me running to my husband and squealing. Which also induced a look of bewilderment followed by the rolling of eyes.
Are saddle shoes.
Are saddle shoes.
I love them.
They are retro, yet funky and modern. Preppy, yet not. The design is sleek and classic and BOLD! They rock the two tone texture mix.
Best part, they go as well with jeans as they do your fav suit or dress pants.
That husband with the rolling eyes will definitely be needing a pair of these. Maybe I can even convince my man-child. Better not press my luck.
I love this pair by Cole Haan - $108.90. You can find them at Endless.com.
Of course Ralph Lauren has a stellar pair at $129.99 from Shoes.com.

The most affordable option is from Bass...and they are a steal at $59.95 from DSW.
Which are your favs? Can you see your man sporting a pair of these around town?
Maybe I should change my name to Elizabeth. It fits better with his shoes! (and yes, I did own a copy of the preppy handbook!)

While I'm not, generally, a fan of the Saddle Shoe look (I usually think it screams "I'm trying too hard... look at me, look at me"), some people can pull it off. AND if one can rock it, I say "rock it!"
ReplyDeleteIn my search to shop and source local, I ran across these puppies available from the Wolverine Co. Store in Downtown GR: http://www.hushpuppies.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/23931M/53948/Brown-Dark-Brown/H101854?dimensions=0
OnLine they're listed under $80, pretty sure I saw them in the store last week, but I didn't look at the price (I'm NOT one of those people who can pull this trend off). I'd guess the store has them at similar/same price.
