The boat shoe has officially sailed back into style, and it's charting a new course for spring 2025.
Once reserved for prep school weekends and yacht decks, the silhouette is now turning heads on the runway and city streets.
"The silhouette has made a major comeback due to its broad appeal and versatility," said Marissa Galante Frank, fashion director at Bloomingdale's.
Both fashion insiders and modern prepsters are embracing the boat shoe for its effortlessly cool look and unexpected versatility.
"It's a perfect choice for shoppers who are seeking a more casual alternative to the loafer," Frank explained. "They add a chic sense of ease when styled back to more tailored looks."
Think of boat shoes as the fashion world's new neutral -- easy to slip on, easy to style and sophisticated. Whether paired with slouchy trousers, crisp suiting or a flowy spring dress, the boat shoe is proof that comfort and style is always the answer.
