Meghan Markle took to the soccer field on a visit to Jordan wearing the perfect preppy shoes for spring. Her outfit combined linen trousers, a relaxed t-shirt, and an open button down shirt, which were all tied together with soft, suede boat shoes. The Duchess of Sussex chose a collegiate shoe style from Vince to take her style from official duties to soccer playtime.
The boat shoe might give some PTSD from the sorority style days of Sperry boat shoes (worn with no-show socks, naturally), but the classic shoe has had a modern refresh. British Vogue declared that the “collegiate style is simultaneously paying homage and making light of an early 1990s look that many thought wouldn’t see the light of day again.” They explained that while other trends—"’mob wife’ and ‘tomato girl summer’ spring to mind"—have a “limited shelf life,” the boat shoes stand the test of time as “the preppy style mood prevails.”
