Blue's Shoes: Men's Footwear Gets a Bold New Hue

By Xiyin Tang

Winter weather got you down? We've caught onto a bold new trend that sure to make things a little brighter. Wear your mood on your shoes and shake things up with an unexpected pair of blue-hued shoes. Not exactly the first thing you'd think of when it comes to men's dress shoes, until we came across these from Rachel Comey, Duckie Brown for Florsheim, and Kitsuné x Pierre Hardy. Sharp, stylish, and quirky, they're a retro throwback that instantly ups the ante of a classic suit or an otherwise monochrome outfit. And for all you Sartorialist die-hards, it's that perfect pop of color that style hunters like Scott Schuman seek out. Who ever said having the blues was a bad thing? (p.s. check out this photo we just found on facehunter... see, we knew we were onto something...)
