What to Wear with Sperry Top-siders: 5 Outfit Ideas

This original brand of boat shoes owes its worldwide popularity to the fact that it connected comfort and style. These shoes were designed by an avid boater Paul Sperry in 1935 with specially designed soles that were supposed to make it easier for boaters and sailors to maintain traction on slippery surfaces.

Nowadays, Sperry Top-siders are definitely one of those shoes that every girl should have, and if you are considering buying a pair, or you already own one, here are some ideas on what to wear with them:

1. All-Denim

We do not normally recommend outfits completely made of denim but Sperry Top-siders will allow us to make an exception to this rule. This is probably the only shoe that goes extremely well with all-denim outfits. You can combine your denim shorts, and a jean shirt, with light brown or beige Sperrys, and with some accessories you will look, and feel, very fashion.

2. Let’s Go Sailing

3. Now, Let’s Take It up a Notch: the Yachting / Polo Look

The sailor look re-adapted to meet high-end society needs, when it comes to spending time offshore, can be easily turned into a daily outfit for active and athletic girls. Choose some dark denim jeans, a polo t-shirt and some white Sperrys and, who knows, maybe somebody will take you yachting. Or maybe to a polo match.
