Boat shoes were made for you! Every one of these looks should win the America’s Cup (not totally sure what that is but it sounds boat-y)! I love the crop polo and also the rugby in your indyx round up! I also laughed so much at your boat life vs real life events. Life is all about how we frame it 😂
Honestly this lewk really works for you! I especially love the sporty pairing and the skort pairing bc skorts are THE single best fashion invention in history. This is a trend that I love so much but I cannot do myself; certain corners of Prep Americana just don’t look right on me even though I love pops of prep and even full on prep cosplay. Maybe it’s bc I’m 52 and it feels like a step too close to my ‘driving moccasin’ years. The looks you’ve planned on Indyx are terrific; please share when you wear the white jorts with the rugby, that’s my favorite! Also YES these are going to be AMAZING with colorful socks. And don’t you need plaid socks with these? I mean if you’re going all in….
Thank you, love!! The “driving moccasin” year 🤣 planing looks on Indyx is my new fav pastime next to coloring. And will definitely share!! That one is my fave!! Plaid socks…. YES, such a good idea.
I was trawling (pun? but way more blue-collar than the yacht) the comments for someone to say it, and I thought Danielle was going to at the very end there, but no, so I guess I will.
I think at this point—aka 2 boat-related Substack posts—you and the hubs gotta start saving up for the boat, no?
Well, don’t say that quite yet, because here’s my unvarnished train of thought: Lonely Island “I’m On a Boat,” but that was never my favorite song, even though it was super popular. My favorite Lonely Island song is, in fact… “J!zz in My Pants.”
I've had Sperrys and some Massimo Dutti boat shoes on my wishlist since the start of the year. But my shoe wardrobe silhouette is leaning VERY masculine now - this post is SO convincing to just get them any way! The way you've styled them show that they really do go with everything which is my number 1 priority with footwear.
Ahhh you had me dying laughing with this post. I think your writing career is just beginning 😍 boat shoes? Available ✓ Lulabubus? NO! I absolutely loved your Riviera Boater look... Continuing my thoughts on IG. I am a boater shoes girl through and through and so happy they're back. Takes me back to my high school era.
My husband was in a fraternity in college and he still has a hard time reaching for his Sperrys. It makes me laugh as he has a flash back every time lol
I love the look of the ones you picked vs the "harder" leather option. I'm a big fan of suede, and I like how it softens each look.
I loved all of these outfits! I've been on the search for some loafers and I feel like all of these fits could easily translate, thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you, Joscelyne!!! I hope they fit your vision! So far I am still loving them! Wore them to the airport this week, haha! I appreciate your support so much 🥰
OK, you make boat shoes look so cool!! I love how they add a bit of preppy-ness to a relaxed look and how they're practical enough to wear for real life. Outfits 1-3 are my favourite! x
Goddammit Traci, now I need boat shoes!!! And when I do possess them, I'll be revisiting this for styling inspiration. You'll be best dressed on the imaginary boat for sure.
You are too kind!! Thank you!!! I think you would look AMAZING if you end up going for it!! Wearing them again truly helped me overcome trauma from my youth. Lindsay Sword called it true “retail therapy” 🤣🤣

So happy to be a founding sponsor of the 1st Annual America Cup!
I giggled as well. A gal can definitely dream, haha! Thank you so much for reading!!
I second Lindsay! Boat shoes were MADE for you Traci!!!!! You make them look so new age cool Americana
My life now feels complete. TY!! Appreciate you!!!

Hahahaha — a gal can dream!!! 🤣 I shall forever pretend I am on Brennan & Dale’s boat bc that’s about all I will ever be able to afford/own!
Well, if social media’s fake anyway, I’ll live in a world where you have your yacht 😉 I get naming rights though
🤣 DEAL. I have zero doubts you would let me down in the name dept.

I’ll go back to the drawing board.
I’m also addicted to planning outfits on Indyx. Isn’t it so fun!?
It’s so good!!!! Have I given you my link, yet?? It’s like productive scrolling — I can’t explain it.

Also do you have a white midi skirt and a roll neck sweater? That would be good, too.
Are you in my brain or something? Yes to midi skirt— and a chocolate brown roll neck is in my cart rn!!
Haha! I have prep school PTSD from the 1980s and will never wear a boat shoe again. But I do love a boat.
I respect that & love that for you! Fair winds and following seas 🚢

Hahahaha! No labubus on the boat shoes for the love of god.
Thank you for the kind words, Ana!!!!
You make boat shoes look SO good!!!
I’m blushing!! Thank you!!!!

That’s so understandable. We all have a little trauma 🤣 They feel a tad bit more refined, and definitely will not be used for actual boating. Xo
Um this was amazing. And so fun! I have almost all the elements from look 1 so need to try that soon!!!
DO IT!! And report back, please! Xo
Gah how versatile are these shoes!!! I've never owned one in my life and now I'm tempted!!
I respect that they are not for everyone lol! But I sure did give into the temptation real fast!! After the Indyx preplan phase obvi. 🤣

Yay!!! Thank you so much, Maria!!! I agree! They give each look that chill-prep vibe! ❤️
The Holiday Inn Express and the four-shirted husband 😂 I’m crying over here lol.
We share our boat shoe PTSD, but you make a compelling case for bringing them back. They’re kind of the perfect seasonal transition shoe!
Also, the cropped polo!!! Never seen anything like it, and I LOVE!
Keep going, friend! This one was toooo good! 💛
Yay!!!! I’m so glad I found your note and was like— yes, yes, yes. Outfits IRL for normal everyday tasks!
Okay, I’m so glad you mentioned the Holiday Inn Express. I giggled so hard as I wrote it, but was fearful no one would get the reference 🤣
Appreciate you mucho!
Looooove a gal who tries something out with her real closet before taking the plunge! They're super cute on you.
ILY INDYX!!! I have vowed to no longer impulse buys that last a few wears & then die in my closet of doom.
It’s my fav thing ever to pre-plan & determine if a purchase is indeed worth it!! Xo
Ha, I wore my red adidas shorts with my boat shoes today! They are seriously the most comfortable shoes!
YES!!!!! I’m so happy!!! What pair do you have & love??
I have the slim boat in maybe an oiled leather? And they’ve been my favorite shoe this summer!! I’m thinking maybe I need a suede pair for fall!
Omg yessss— And here I am pondering the leather 🤣 I have a habit of loving something & then hyperfixating (need it in all the colors, styles, etc). 😅

They are made for you! They look great. Love all the fits!! As always, this is fantastic.
Love the imaginary yacht!! 🛥️
Ty!! You are the best! So fun.
