The other day, my teen came to me and asked for Sperry Topsiders. Trying to control my glee, I casually asked, “Oh, so are they in style now?” And apparently, the answer is a resounding “YES!”
Authentic Topsiders have gone in and out of popular fashion since they were created back in 1935 as the first practical boating shoe on the market. But today’s version isn’t quite the pair preppy 1980’s Topsiders that I remember…
The styling is basically unchanged from the days I sported classic brown leather Topsiders with kilts, with khakis, with shorts (and pretty much everything else). But these new boating shoes are now available in canvas or leather in fashion-forward, bright colors like lemon, electric green and bubble gum pink!
Shop at Sperry’s official site and now, help Sperry celebrate National Safe Boating Week. Purchase between now and May 27 and receive 10% off your final order with code SAFETY.
Even A-list celebrities like Blake Lively have been seen sporting these casual, comfortable, and incredibly practical shoes. Which gets me to thinking… should I resurrect my classic brown pair or go for a new pair of navy?
