“A shoe needs to be fashionable, a shoe needs to be comfortable and a shoe needs to be special.” -Donald J Pliner

I always sum up my style as classic silhouettes with interesting details. I want pieces that are timeless, but still make you say “oh, I love that!”. That’s exactly what I love about Donald Pliner. The eponymous shoe brand is known for their unique leathers, color combinations and fabrications, but every shoe is super versatile. This navy suede slip-on is extremely comfortable, and the basketweave sets it apart from your run-of-the-mill sneaker. I have owned a few pairs of navy sneakers over the years because they go just as well with a grey suit as the do with blue jeans.

With temperatures (thankfully) on the rise, I’m stocking my closet with linen for the spring. I loved how pinstripe in this linen pant and the texture of this linen jacket played off the crosshatch in the sneaker. It’s understated, but the more you look, the more detail you see.

I found the perfect slip-ons from Donald Pliner, but they carry everything from dress shoes, to loafers and dad sneakers. You can check out their whole line on Zappos.

Zappos has a massive selection of clothing, shoes and accessories. It’s easily one of my favorite places to shop! They offer free two day shipping for Zappos Reward Members (perfect for last minute vacation outfit planning- which I am always guilty of). They have a 365 day return policy and awesome 24/7 customer service. All the things that make online shopping so great!
