Thank you Ashley, for keeping us updated in the ever changing world of fashion! I may not be all the way there yet fashionably, but I appreciate the effort you and your team make to get us informed.
All solid footwear options for summer 👍 Though I strongly disagree that you "easily" can interchange boat shoes with loafers and sneakers. Boat shoes (IMHO) are casual shoes and casual shoes only, as goes for driving moccasins. Pairs well with chinos and shorts but unless you really know what you are doing, I wouldn't recommend wearing them with more formal outfits. It can very fast look like you just don't own any dress shoes 🙂 As for sandals, I think it depends. I wouldn't wear them most of the time but I do wear them when walking my dogs, going to get an ice cream, or other super casual situations. But again I also live in a tropical country in a beach town 😅
Don't wear leather on the beach, water will ruin the leather, best is rubber sandals...i wear rubber Birkenstock,i have espadriles but rarely wear it because its weak structures, low top i prefer canvas sneaker for breathable and its converse zip,for boots i prefer canvas boots like palladium boots ....and recently i bought full rubber navy loafers just for fun 🤣..... Lets see if it hold on in bali this week 😆
What you refer to as sandals are actually called flip flops or 'thongs' here in Australia. Everyone in Australia wears flip flops in summer, guys and girls. Beach culture is huge and flip flops are a cultural 'norm' here in summer, whether on the beach or just casually running errands or hanging out etc.
@@StoicBarbarian There's no objective right or wrong when it comes to fashion. It's all subjective personal preference. I like leather slides, but would never use them around water.
No hate or negative talk but I wonder if Ashley is up to date with streetwear. Seems like she would be a stylist for more of my father who is like 58 vs myself at 27. A lot of her picks (leather slides, chukka boots, boat shoes, and Espadrilles) I have not seen many people my age wearing at all really
@ Mens Fashioner ….Pretty Ashley thank you for all your fashion wisdom. I know you always inform us to wear no show socks but in the case of Espadrilles …. Is this an exception?
Fellow wide feet and flat foot guy. I stuck to flip flops/sandals most of my life because no freaking shoe, let alone boot could fit me. Got an Asics shoe with custom arch support insoles and it literally puts a jump in your steps.
I’ve had cheap ones and Toms… they don’t last! But they are great. I’d get 3 cheap pairs in different colours. Cause the cheap ones still look fine. And less annoying when fall apart
According to her, leather, lol. If you're going to be near or especially in water, then do yourself a favor and forget about fashion. Just get yourself an actual pair of water shoes made out of the best synthetic materials science has to offer, and rest well knowing there's nothing wrong with occasionally prioritizing function over form.
MS - definitely not leather. Use water socks or purpose built shoes for that. Rubber sandals are great for coming in or out of the water, or wearing in showers at the gym. It’s not a literal NEVER. It’s a “Never in a setting unless you’re specifically going to need to be in and out of the water.”
Considering her hatred of sandals is the fact that they expose male feet, I think it's pretty obvious she'd prefer slides over flip flips. That said, if you're going to be around water, wearing leather would be a textbook example of form over function. Leather and water are a bad combination.
I've seen that many people wear white sneakers with formal dresses. So I want to know that "Can we wear Alexander McQueen White Sneaker with formal dress?"
I have never (and will never) get the hate for sandals and slips, though I’ve noticed the criticisms seem to come largely from places where you have milder temps and people who aren’t very outdoorsy. Sport sandals vent heat better than anything, can handle a river crossing without slowing down and certain pairs still look great for after-activity beers. No way would you wear boat shoes or driving mocs to hike up a mountainside! I also think wearing closed-toe shoes in the 100+ degree temps of Austin can get sticky! Personally, I own a pair of everything here but the espadrillas, and while I love the look and vibe of boat shoes, loafers, etc. in some circumstances, there are some outfits that I legitimately think look best with leather Birkenstocks. 🤷♂️
They're good for outdoors, but that's it. They really don't make much sense in town. I still remember when I was a young man in the navy walking onto the ship during a weekend of day drinking wearing sandals. Immediately hearing the officer of the deck yelling "Put on some damn shoes! No one wants to see your ugly hairy feet!" Which is exactly the point, no one wants to see your feet, and wearing socks with them just looks goofy.
@@Thomas-io1fr - Growing up in Colorado (which is an extremely active/fit state where Chacos were invented for kayakers), it’s weird to hear. I think the thing we can agree on is: it depends on the circumstances and local culture (e.g. “acceptable outdoors and at the beach”). I can get where in California, where it’s temperate year-round, they may have certain fashion “rules”, but I guess my point is that there’s nuance. For instance, if you wear a pair of chukka boots and chinos on Rainey Street in Austin summer when it’s 100+ degrees out with 80% humidity, you’re going to get some weird looks and be an awkward, sweaty mess. Likewise, if you’re in an active place, sport sandals are something you can get away with around town because everyone has been similarly active. On the flip side, while a peacoat and suit might look good in New York, a Columbia puffer might stick out less in Oregon. So… would I wear Birkenstocks to a nice restaurant and show at a historic theater? Probably not. Would I wear them in a situation where it’s blistering hot and I wanted to elevate a chino short and short sleeve sport shirt look to bar hop when it’s blistering hot? Absolutely. As with most things in life, I think you have to appreciate circumstances and culture and not be overly dogmatic.
@@EpicDadventures As a Southern Californian, I couldn't agree more with you. Sandals are functional for the heat. No pair of shoes-which inevitably necessitate socks-will ever be as breathable as sandals. And to the point of, "Why wear sandals if you're going to be wearing them with socks anyways??", the answer is because sandals with socks are still more breathable than shoes with socks. I was surprised to find out that Ashley is apparently based in San Diego; I figured she must be based in New York. I can just imagine her judging every other person she meets who's dressed for comfort during the hot California summers. Maybe she lives close to the beach, which would explain her inability to comprehend that sometimes it can get so unbearably hot that wearing anything at all is uncomfortable. That said, I recently learned about linen, and I have a pair of linen no-show socks arriving today. I'm curious to see if they're really that much cooler than cotton. If so, I might look into getting an espadrille that hopefully doesn't look as effeminate as all the ones Ashley shows in her videos.
@@Thomas-io1fr It can get hot in town, you know. In fact, in an urban heat island, sandals make even more sense in town than out of town. And not every guy has hairy feet. My wife is not particularly generous with compliments, but she's complimented my feet and hands on multiple occasions. Saying all guys should always cover their feet makes about as much sense as saying all guys should wear gloves whenever in town. See my response to OP for further elaboration for why this contempt for sandals bugs me so much.
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou I've lived everywhere you can imagine. Including, Bahrain, so trust me I know concrete hot enough to cook a steak. It just isn't widely socially accepted here in the states. Perhaps it's a small town thing where no one will care. And I've seen in places like California and Hawaii closer to water front where it's more acceptable. But generally in the city, you go to a nice restaurant in sandals, you're getting turned back.
1. Enough with the espadrilles - they may seem perfect for summer but they make your feet sweaty (+ they can be uncomfortable on feet) 2. It depends on where you live - For all Mediterranean or South Asian countries for example, wearing shorts with sandals is an outfit everyone wears because it can get really hot!! So they are not "forbidden" from our wardrobe, we just will not wear this outfit on formal occasions (of course we agree that flip flops with jeans are tacky)
This exactly. I agree with everything she says, except for not wearing sandals/flip flops. For over half the world population, the climate is way too hot to wear shoes.
I can't understand why you would recommend leather sandals only near a body of water. Isn't this counter intuitive considering you shouldn't wet your leather? I understand a more sophisticated look, but not confining them to being near water.
I don't care what anybody wants to see. It's summer. Toes must be out. And that only works with sandals. And I definately don't want something on my feet that requires socks. I wear socks 9 months a year. That's exactly what I DON'T want to wear in 3 months of summer. At least not every day. So, all of that is pointless to me. I only agree on that you shouldn't wear some cheap plastic or rubber flip flops, or something really ugly like crocs or tevas. I disagree that you can't be stylish and fashionable with high quality flip flops, slides or sandals in general. Depends on wich kinds of sandals you wear. If you are willing to spend a bit more on these, if you are able to combine them with the right outfit, and in case you are well pedicured, you can't go wrong with that. About that Quentin Tarantino thing: Women don't ask me about my opinion about their footwear, I have to see womens feet all the time, and I see a lot of ugly womens feet.
Pathetic suggestions. Leather on beach is a big no, water will ruin the leather. Ankle thing really sucks, looks cheap and definitely this style will go out of fashion soon, this is not timeless. And then this pathetic looking espadrilles, there are much better slip-ons.
What are those white sneakers? Why do you use those as an example as the “stylish” sneaker? Why not Jordan’s, Nike and other brands? These shoes, that you use in most videos are ugly, to me.
This whole "ankle thing" no. Very much no. Never. Not ever, ever. Not under any circumstances. If you insist on it I assume you've just finished parole and are showing off you've had your tracking tag removed.
I mean, it's all subjective. I don't think showing ankle is terrible if you're in good shape, but what I don't understand is being passionately opposed to sandals, and then championing ankle exposure. Exposing your ankles is basically a notch more formal than wearing slides. So why champion the former and condemn the latter? Just seems arbitrary. To me, exposing your ankles is as natural as exposing your wrists, and exposing your feet is as natural as exposing your hands. Clothes are all unnatural anyway, so why do we feel like these rules are set in stone?
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou agree to a large extent, and this is also why most of these list aren’t that useful sometimes. Clothes and their symbolism are cultural and social constructs and as such what would be considered “right” or “wrong” depends a lot on where you are and you are doing. Furthermore, one should not forget personal style/taste as that definitely is also important. I often wear things that are different from the norm simply because I like it. Ps. I wear both no-show (aka exposed ankles) and sandals 🙂 just personally wouldn’t consider sandals appropriate in all situations 👍

Thanks Ashley for comfort I prefer boat shoes over driving moccasins as they tend to be very flat and uncomfortable after a while
Here is some great advice. Wear whatever the hell you feel comfortable in! Sock or no socks, boots or flip flops! YOU choose!
What you refer to as sandals are actually called flip flops or 'thongs' here in Australia. Everyone in Australia wears flip flops in summer, guys and girls. Beach culture is huge and flip flops are a cultural 'norm' here in summer, whether on the beach or just casually running errands or hanging out etc.
SW Florida here and yes, everyone is wearing flip flops.
That doesn't make it right.
In Germany open toe sandals are also socially accepted. Birkenstocks all the way :D

Woooo a Lems product made into an Ashley Weston video!! 5:32
Thank you so much for the I Think You Should Leave reference at 0:37
Dude, Desert boots with shorts is a whole vibe. Definitely GQ for those who know.
No hate or negative talk but I wonder if Ashley is up to date with streetwear. Seems like she would be a stylist for more of my father who is like 58 vs myself at 27. A lot of her picks (leather slides, chukka boots, boat shoes, and Espadrilles) I have not seen many people my age wearing at all really
100% Chukka boots are not worn by anyone that's young right now at all.
of course not cuz streetwear ugly bruh
Love wearing the Sperry’s. Good choice. Thank you Ashley.
Couldn't agree more. I struggle with chukka's though, for me... Castaner also makes top notch espadrilles.
I loved your video, Ashley! I have a question, what do you think about leather espadrilles? Should I or is it better to have canvas or wool?
Ashley, what brand of chukka boots are third pic with the blue cuffed jeans?
Didn't expect to see here the espardilles, they are great!! It's pronounced /ah s pah r dee y eh s/ but good spanish!
Saludos from Barcelona!
"Well made leather pair"...shows a picture of Uggs. HAHA
@ Mens Fashioner ….Pretty Ashley thank you for all your fashion wisdom. I know you always inform us to wear no show socks but in the case of Espadrilles …. Is this an exception?

Hola ! Hoping you do a summer sunglasses- brand type

Great content
Espardenyes! From Catalunya, Spain! ❤️

What do you think about Clarks Wallabees?
what are the shoes at 04:14 (grey) and the brown leather at 04:19? those are amazing! please thanks
I still love Crocs! Tough to get me out of those!
Great video and thanks the tip regarding no show socks 👍
Espadrilles, low-top sneakers, and even just the right kind of loafers: yes! No to all the rest for me. With that being said, to each his own.
What's the chukka boot at 5:33? Thanks! :)
Definitely need to get some espadrilles this year. Any recommendations of a good brand?
I’ve had cheap ones and Toms… they don’t last! But they are great.
I’d get 3 cheap pairs in different colours. Cause the cheap ones still look fine. And less annoying when fall apart
One question, what brand would you recommend for waterproof shoes (ones one might wear to go into a pool, river, lake or beach)?
According to her, leather, lol. If you're going to be near or especially in water, then do yourself a favor and forget about fashion. Just get yourself an actual pair of water shoes made out of the best synthetic materials science has to offer, and rest well knowing there's nothing wrong with occasionally prioritizing function over form.

I say crocs
I have a long way to go. I can only do sneakers here in your list. Everything else looks like I need to be 40 years old to be wearing. Idk 🤷♂️
Sandals all the way
one video you said not to wear with formal wear and this video you said it pairs well with formal wear while using the same picture in both videos
What about leather slides vs leather flip flops? Is one preferential over the other?
