An American prep classic, especially in white, but very rarely seen this side of the pond, a pair of suede bucks will always be a stylish, yet unexpected addition to your arsenal of footwear in warmer months.
Suede provides a good balance between formal and informal. They're extremely versatile and can be worn with everything from shorts and a polo to chino's, OCBD and sportcoat. The red brick sole is the original 'coloured sole' variation, which has recently seen a trend of all sorts of crazy combinations produced, which I'm not a fan of. These are my pair that I copped at the back end of last summer, and subsequently haven't had much wear yet, but I intend on remedying that this time around.
