Sperry Topsiders Tremont Two-tone Penny Loafer

Angelo's post @Eyefivestyle's Class Act about needing new loafers inspired me for this one. Should penny loafers be a staple in a wardrobe? These two-tone Tremont loafers by Sperry certainly make the argument compelling.

What:

Sperry, Tremont Loafer in Black and "Seahorse" (brown)

Why:

I will admit, I am not the first one in line to buy loafers. Should they be a staple in a guy's wardrobe? Probably in 98.6% of cases, yes. So this time, I'll bite. These Sperry loafers do a couple things for me:

1) They give me a clean looking loafer I'd be comfortable wearing on (casual) workdays or at play.

2) The two-tone is what really gets me- I'd be happy to rock these with either blacks or browns in my ensemble. Hell, go for broke with both (yes, yes you can).

3) The Sperry Non-Marking, Rubber Outsole with Razor-Cut Wave-Siping is a complicated way of saying, "You won't slip on your ass." It's durable and functional without looking out of place.

Adidas SLVR Pocket Bomber Jacket- A Modern Classic

Red may be the new "in" color for this season, but Adidas SLVR makes it fresh.

What:
Adidas SLVR Pocket Bomber Jacket in Red

Why:
One thing I like about the Adidas SLVR line is their ability to take a classic piece and update it with a sleeker line or a modern fabric without stealing away its intrinsic simplicity. One category I find they excel in is outwear. And this latest take on the classic bomber is a perfect example.

The best part in my opinion is how Adidas added the 2 flap pockets on the back. a real winning feature and juuuust enough to change up a classic like a bomber jacket.

 

The Nylon ripstop material is perfect for Spring, but also a great way to layer up while the weather is still cold. SLVR does a great job keeping stitching and seams clean too.

  

The trademark SLVR "dash" is applied to the yolk area below the collar in a contrasting black nylon patch and is a nice touch.
