Top 5 Nautical Numbers: Anchors Away


Boats may be the inspiration right about now, but it’s more specifically about rope and stripes. Whether it’s a sailor’s knot, a riff on white and navy blue (the seafarer’s color medley of choice), or a naturally nautical blocking of colors, it’s evident that even if we’re far more comfortable on dry land, our feet will be suggesting otherwise this spring.

1) Alexandre Birman Denim and Rope Flat Sandal: Rope and denim makes for a solid surf-and-turf combination that’s an ideal casual summertime flat. At Neiman Marcus for $395.

2) Sergio Rossi Opanca Sandal: Who would have thought this much industrial rope could look so chic? Rossi’s knots are actually feather-soft and set on an elegant nude foundation, these are more fit for land. At Barneys New York.

3) Stuart Weitzman Alex Espadrille Wedge Sandals: Weaves of ropes and straw make for your quintessential summer wedge on what is probably the most comfortable wedge there is. This style is a classic that makes an annual comback. Exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue for $365.

4) Christian Louboutin Melides Linen and Cork Wedge Sandals: The sailor girl has just gone uptown. A seaside take on the Mary Jane, Louboutin makes girlish buckles and a classic color combo look fresh as can be. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $695.

5) Brian Atwood April Suede Espadrille Wedge Sandals: Nautical get naughty with these curvy, swerving cutout wedges. Big, bold stripes are suited for the high seas, but the rest of these shoes say night on the town. On Net-a-Porter for $710.
