Coincidence alpha m just put out a video saying boat shoes are lame… boat shoes are cool af if u wear them properly!
I totally do that. Boat shoes. Socks. And khakis. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I was expecting you to rag on boat shoes as being cliche in every case, but I understand your point. They look clunky on dress pants, and nearly there are so many alternatives that look better. Keep them as a best casual option, but refrain in more formal environments.
obvs boat shoes arent formal, clickbait
Converse Jack Purcell’s are boat shoes & I can wear them with a sweater or shorts or even a sports coat & jeans. Not everyone wants to look like their in a boardroom at an event so please remove it…that stick up your ass #FashionPolice
I’ve had this argument with a couple of people on mfa. Some of them argue that they’re basically loafers… those people are wrong. Then we debate whether they’re more or less casual than sneakers… which is kind of an academic question… but I’d definitely say more casual. And people disagree with that too. Idk.
Tome like !
There was a period a few years ago when Band of Outsiders made it look edgy (and cool) in a summer suit.
Frat disagrees
How do you feel feel about dress boots? Appropriate for a suit? Appropriate for an interview?
I’ve been to dozens of the most exclusive country / yacht / social clubs in the world, and have seen many prominent men wear Sperry’s with slacks and blazers. Are you only talking about "professional" environments and weddings? That’s ridiculous.
You know who really makes these rules?
I don’t think your dress is exactly a qualifyiler of your job competence lol
Lol well as a female I wear them as casual shoes but I also dress casually to church so
Unfortunately, I’m stuck with boat shoes. Not even ones that I consider good after watching your videos on your channel for a bit. Probably my nicer pair are cowboy boots, but that doesn’t work with business casual.
I do understand where you’re coming from though, and hopefully I’ll be able to get myself my first pair of dress shoes one day lol.
What was the no-show sock peeve you mentioned near the end?
I call them butt shoes, cause if you wear them that’s where you take it
Completely agree. I wear mine with shorts only. They’re that casual to me
Any nice boat shoes brand recommendation?
Boat shoes are great with ties and a navy blazer as preppy fashion
i totally agree. from where i live moccasins seems the norm and it drives me crazy
I cringe hard at guys in boat shoes. If you’re not on a boat, wear different shoes.
The founder of Tom’s has to wear Tom’s when he wears suits.
Nice beard !
lmfao everyone in my school wear these even during winter dress code
The guy in the video’s feet stink ! At least my feet smell better than him.
Boat shoes are over dressed for most churches in California…
Man this was like click bait!!!! I thought you were gonna say via the title "Men NEVER EVER wear boat shoes"!!!! LMAO!! YEAH that was obvious boat shoes are NOT dress shoes but they are great shoes!
NO.
0:24 That is not a suit. It’s a suit pant with a blazer at most.
I love that this was just something you needed to get off your chest 😂
Americans make me laugh wrt Speedos
Finally! A good stubble… I am definitely speechless. Just keep it Jon. Trust me. I can say 100% sure that your wife loves it. If it’s scratchy for hey, full beard is the next step💯🔝🔝💯💯
I don’t like them at all, period. I think there are better options. I think its becuase I’m living in FL and see young men wear these damn shoes all the time with basketball shorts, gym shorts etc…ALL THE TIME. I hate those damn shoes. Seeing them worn bad so often I have just written them off at this point.
Wearing boatshoes in general are reason for a life inprisonment!
On point video brotha
you clickbait son of a bitch
Could you wear dress boots with a suit?
I love that phrase, ‘your style is always working for you, it’s working for you or against you.’, I’m going to borrow that, cheers 🥂
Does this apply to loafers too?
I hate boat shoes too, there are lots of alternatives like a driving shoes or any type of loafer pretty much. Boat shoes just don’t need to be in any guys closet.
What dress shoes do you recommend for someone with really wide feet? I’m a 10 EEEE and it’s nearly impossible to find dress shoes to fit.
By the way… Where did you got that polo??
Perhaps young men wear them at inappropriate time because they don’t want to appear older than they are.
The guy going to the interview in flip flops and out a clean shave might just be the smartest dude to work in the company lol he may not care about his looks but is a genius
Well.. reality is fashion is what you decide.. lately people are wearing sneakers with suits. So it pretty much how confident and savvy you are with the outfit.
This scared at me first because I showed up to your function with boat shoes on but I completely agree.
Oh sh*t, we aren’t supposed to wear hats to interviews?!
Lol for real the image of that cracks me up
Agree with pretty much everything you say but…I shelled out for a pair of Rancourt’s a few years ago and I do love them more than I should ever love a boat shoe.
No beer pong champions have shown up to a game in oxfords or tennis shoes. All I’m sayin.
