FAVA AND FASHION...LINEN

Linen is the hot ticket for  this spring, and my favorite place to see it is on... SHOES. Shoes covered in linen have been appearing on catwalks in myriad colors, such as black, navy blue and tan. For a dressier look, I like Ferragamo's  black linen Destin loafer with leather accents. It can be dressed up with white slacks ( no socks please) or for a casual look, they are amazing with a great pair of colored jeans. But for the true fashion renegades, my favorite is the Linen Espadrille from Prada. With a price tag as steep as their soles are high, these beauties are sure to make a statement. Starting with a grey tread, there is a layer of terra cotta and another layer of cream, followed by a thick woven layer completing the sole, culminating with the natural linen uppers. Perfect with a summer suit or a great pair of linen trousers, these shoes are the "Bentley" of mens footwear this season.  Who knows how long this trend will last, but for the time being, add a pair of linen shoes to your wardrobe and  enjoy!
