For a night out in a black suit. 

My definition of classic shoes revolves around creepers, slip ons, brogues and trainers.  That’s it.

  This time I had a go with classic shoes from Sperry but worn in three different ways; a crochet dress with a mens hat, a vintage mens fringe jacket and a black jacket and trousers that aren’t a suit but together can pass as one.

More photos are on Sperry’s site!

    Where did you get the jewelry in that last picture? I’m looking to try and find a signature piece that I can wear every day and those rings are so lovely!

      The bangle is from Sperry! the rings are a mix: the ultra thin are from Catbird NYC. the arrow is from a local shop opposite Catbird in Williamsburg Bk. The rose gold larger ring is my late grandmothers.

    I love elegant styling like this. It’s right up my street. Don’t get me wrong, I like to dabble in trends, but classic pieces is wear it’s at. :o) x

      I agree actually. I find myself these days dabbling in both but classics are appealing more and more

    I love that you did this project! I have 3 pairs of Sperry’s, and am constantly trying to find new ways to wear them since they are so comfy. Your style choices were great and fresh! Thanks for the inspo :o)

    • Karen says:

      oh really? they’re so comfortable and kinda make a change from plimsolls especially when they break in.

      Glad the looks helped a bit : ))
