How to wear men's deck shoes is ultimately up to the wearer. With so many colours, patterns and textures to choose from there is plenty of opportunity to let your personality shine through. Be it the traditional tan leather deck shoe or a multicoloured variation, we have a few tips to help you style them.
Nautical associations mean deck shoes should be considered a shoe of leisure , not business. Of course that doesn't mean that you can't smarten up your look but they shouldn't be worn to the office.
These perfect summer shoes are best paired with jeans, chinos or shorts. Add a polo shirt or a button-down shirt in vivid colours or stripes for a traditional nautical look. Team your deck shoes with a pair of navy chinos for a timeless look that is suitable and flattering for most ages.
