Hear it for the Boys

My wonderfully charming friend Mr. Derek Shipley asked if I would do a post on men's shoes.  I of course was happy to oblige, but it did take quite a bit of research as boy's shoes are something I'm not so familiar with.  But, below is what I've discovered for sneaker trends in 2011.

SNEAKER TRENDS FOR 2011

- Don't shy away from bright colors.  The more vibrant the better.

- Mix up your sneaks by wearing them different ways - withs shorts, jeans tucked in, slight variations can make all the difference in the world.

- As much as colors are in this season, you can't go wrong with some fresh all-whites as well. 

- Don't underestimate the power of Chuck Taylors (I will get my boyfriend in these, just you wait.)
