I've always worn socks with my boat shoes, usually wool Wigwams and raggs, never cotton crew. I think sockless feet in any shoes is a terrible look popular as it might be.
Nice stoneware mug. But yeah - the untucked shirt and rumpled khakis are cringe. (I usually wear white footies with my boat shoes, if I’m not on a boat.)
To me, boat shoes with a white athletic sock or ragg sock is perfectly acceptable, especially during the in-between months of Spring and Fall. A white sock with a boat show always makes me think of the first pic of PJ O'Rourke from this Ivy Style article. https://www.ivy-style.com/p-j-orourke-an-ivy-icon.html
Sockless is best with shorts on the boat or beach - especially if your boat shoes have mesh sides and synthetic insoles like my several pairs of Sebago Clovehitches. With chinos, socks are more comfortable, practical and (importantly in company) are more hygenic.
Decks hoes are only to be worn sockless...maybe with a generous dose of some pleasant smelling powder to keep feet from sticking to the shoes on a hot day..

ReplyDeleteAfter a day on the slopes, believe it or not, boat shoes and real thick socks are a good break from plastic ski boots..

ReplyDeleteI was being facetious above. I like the untucked shirt and rumpled khakis.

DeleteEveryone does it. Few admit it.

ReplyDeleteIf there is no WEARING of socks with boat shoes, how can you have the BURNING of the socks?

ReplyDeleteThis is why I wear Blucher mocs in cooler months.
ReplyDeleteAs long as they are the "right" socks...no harm done.
