What it is: Dexter Boat Moc, Payless, $40
How to wear it: Not only is classic summer shoe a chic alternative to your gym sneakers, but with non-marking soles (perfect for my yacht...what? I can dream), a breathable canvas exterior and adjustable shoelaces (key for my narrow-footed friends), this boat moc combines the best of comfort and cuteness. Available in six fabulous styles from bold plaid to sequins, wear them with a pair of bright coloured pants and a crisp polo, and don't forget to channel your inner prepster.
Why I love it: Super cute and oh-so-practical, these boat shoes are the ideal shoe for days when I know I will be on my feet but still want to look fashionable. I am loving the plaid earth tone set and am sporting them with skinny dark denim, a white sleeveless button-down and a pair of round tortoise shell sunglasses.
