Boat Shoes, From the Dock to the City Streets

by Redaction NOW Village


Summer’s star, the boat shoe, continues to captivate. Reinvented by designers, it leaves the dock to establish itself as an autumn essential, balancing casual elegance with a retro spirit.


A Nautical Classic Reimagined

Born for sailing, boat shoes are recognized by their non-slip sole and leather laces. Once an icon of summers by the sea, they are now reinterpreted in more sophisticated versions to align with urban codes. Suede leather, couture details, and autumnal hues give them a new fashion-forward dimension


From Summer to Autumn

While they once paired with linen shorts and polos in summer, boat shoes now step into autumn alongside corduroy trousers, a trench coat, or even a casual suit. They embody effortless elegance, striking the perfect balance between relaxation and refinement.
