Rules of Style

The New Shoes for Spring

Say good-bye to classic blue and white. These versatile two-tones will take you much further.

February 1, 2011

Footwear guru Mark McNairy, the new creative director of Woolrich Woolen Mills, on how to pull off two-tones.

Go Sockless

"I wore saddle shoes growing up in North Carolina. In the summer I like to mix things up and wear them sockless with shorts."

Embrace Color

"Colorful shoes—I did some saddles with bright soles—are an easy way to make an otherwise simple outfit more interesting."

Break the Rules

"Wear white saddles with dark suits or add colored laces. It's that twist on the perceived style that's interesting."
