Our guide to the best of spring shopping,

The Shoe:
Blue Streak

Black is standard-issue office attire. And the many shades of brown are ideal for a more causal settings. But what about blue? And we're not talking about canvas kicks or sportier options like Top-Siders. This season, grown up shoes in shades of navy abound. What's more, they actually look pretty sharp paired with everything from charcoal suits and summer weight chinos to worn-out jeans and shorts. So whether you're looking for wing tips, suede bucks or loafers, there's a pair to fit your style and budget.
