Jeans and boat shoes

herzzreh · Apr 14, 2008

How well do jeans and boat shoes work? Socks or no socks?

AR_Six · Apr 14, 2008

I would advise no sock, and depending on the jean and the hem, I would say they have the potential to work quite well together.

What are socks?

Seriously, I rarely ever wear them. I couldn't imagine wearing them with my Quoddy Trail's. However, I might reconsider had I gotten them with the leather liner.

I wear boat shoes all the time with jeans, and it definately looks better without socks.

plimsolls would look nice as well, I think.

Frightened that anyone ever thought about putting socks on with boat shoes...

what are those really low socks called, the ones that go down like half of your foot, and reminds one of ballerina slippers?

i wear those with boat shoes, or vans slip-ons in the summer. before i found out about them my feet used to get drenched in sweat after a summer day in slip-ons or boat shoes with no socks. extremely gross, don't recommend this route at all.

Loafer socks, usually. I also recommend them.

also would be one of the few times i'd go with cuffing the jean a la "get smart"

it just looks more natural that way.

still waiting for my quoddys, but i was planning on wearing socks while the weather is still cold...only reason why i can see it working is cuz i wear skinny jeans w/ some stacking...so no sock would really show....and if a little does show, its not so bad, i think, as long as your socks aren't of the white tube variety

Personally, I think boat shoes only work with chinos/trousers, not jeans. Although I'm sure some could pull it off.

MetroStyles · Apr 14, 2008

It probably looks better with chinos like jizzy said. However I can see it working with lighter blue and medium blue jeans. I think they have to be rolled up to show ankle though. I wouldn't even try this with dark raw jeans.

Not only can this thread be solved by trying on your boat shoes with jeans, but it existed last month i'm pretty sure. The light tan and more burgundy ones look fine with raw jeans and the navy sperrys look good with grey jeans.

I think socks with boat shoes looks ok.

Jeans and boat shoes yes

Socks with boat shoes, yes if you need them. But, once your shoes get really broken in and it's warm you shouldn't really need them.
