Thinking Summer Shoes...the latest renditions of Preppy Classics

Leather thong sandals in a wonderfully modern-elegant version by Ralph Lauren
Lighter clogs for summer scuffin' around town, country and beachside by Dansko

Prepped-out in Pink n' Green n' Madras are these delightful boat shoes by Sperry


A version of the classic espendrille topped by a cute bow, this offering by Keds



Gotta' get a chuckle out of these menswear-look tennies in bright pink by Izod




Oh, what junior higher in the mid-80's couldn't be without these by Dr. Scholls?





Classic tennis wear worn both with our tennis dresses and cheerleading uniforms by Tretorn






Writing about my Pink and Green Memories featuring summertime attire, I got to thinking about the classic shoes that we used to wear back then and still do. In my closet are versions of the examples I'm showing above and in the brands that have been so tried n' true preppy for generations. I've pulled here just a few images of the lastest-tweaks with these that are out now and may be a fun addition into a Preppy's Spring and Summer 2010 Wardrobe.

  1. Just ordered a new pair of Tretorns last week! Too bad I couldn't get the pink version, but LandsEnd only had blue and white, so I got the white. AND they were on sale AND free shipping!

  2. Hey there and that's quite a great deal, wow! Blue and white's classic for summer and reminds me a beach n' boating-around, neat :)

    Tretorns are just so perennially-Preppy aren't they? I loved them in my tennis n' cheerleading days and really need to get another pair soon...will check out Land's End, thanks for the info! Best to you :)

  3. These are great...I still have an ancient pair of Tretorns, and are due for a new pair, I love them. Unfortunately I fear I missed the Lands' End deal.. sigh.

    May your week ahead be fabulous!
