What to wear with navy shoes

Black and tan are not the only neutrals in town. This summer, it’s all about the navy shoe – a versatile option that suddenly looks right with everything. From business casual to coastal getaway, we break down three ways to wear the color of the season.

Introducing the shipster

If you’ve ever wanted to spend your days dressed like a fisherman, this is your moment. Esquire magazine decreed 2020 the year of the ‘shipster’: a new hipster wardrobe of chunky knits, beanie hats and chore jackets. Take the nautical look into summer with chino shorts and sporty navy boat shoes; the perfect off-duty uniform even if you plan to stay firmly on dry land.

The business casual khakis

What to wear with your favorite Dockers® khakis? These timeless pants work with every kind of shoe, but this summer we’re making the case for sophisticated navy lace ups. Less formal than a black dress shoe but more work-appropriate than a sneaker, a navy oxford shoe strikes just the right balance – and the color looks fresh with classic summer shades like tan and khaki.

Go tonal with indigo denim

Jeans-and-sneakers are a classic, of course, but if you’re heading out for socially-distanced drinks, why not take it up a notch with a casual oxford shoe? Our Braxton shoes in navy look sleek when you pair them with indigo denim, but have a lightweight feel and casual outsole for a weekend vibe.
