Shoes-day: Vans for J Crew

All through Spring and Summer I have been eyeing this slip-on sneaker trend. I debated on whether or not to jump on the trendy bandwagon and buy a pair but never did, until now. I think I was waiting for the right pair to come along.

Both the Suiting Mix and the Pinstripe are very Preppy. Possibly a “Preppy Skater” style? With these it’s a definite possibility. They both fit TTS. 

The suiting mix has three different patterns on the front, side and back of the shoe with a white outer sole.

The pinstripe wool are navy with burgundy/white pinstripes on them. I loved these so much more than the suiting mix. I tried them on with a few things that I’ll be reviewing soon. 
The pattern stays the same on all three panels, front/side/back. 

I have been looking for a pair of Navy booties. It’s been stuck in my head for a few weeks now but I haven’t been able to find the right pair. I think the Vans Classic Slip-on in Pinstripe Wool may just satisfy my need for a pair of Navy shoes, including those booties.

Have you tried any of the Vans offerings from J Crew?

    Audrey – I bought a pair of plain black canvas vans for my upcoming trip – so comfy and easily on and off in the airport. Love them so much! My son has been wearing vans for years and I think, like converse, that they are classics now, given that the skater culture has permanently found its way into popular culture! I love the pinstripes!

      I should say – mine were from a local shop, not jcrew.
