2010 is the 75th anniversary of the boat shoe and this fabulous footwear is celebrating by coming back with a bang! While there are many variations of the boat shoe, it is always nice to have the real thing (if you can get it for the right price). Sperry Top-Siders are the “American Original” when it comes to boat shoes and were created back in 1935 by Paul Sperry. The shoe was, of course, designed to give you traction on the wet surface when around water. But the shoe is as adorable as it is practical and can be worn whenever.
Because the Sperry Top-Siders are fairly spending, I have the perfect solution for those of us in the DC area. It just so happens that there is a Sperry Outlet store in the Arundel Mills Mall located in Hanover, MD. Arundel Mills is not metro accessible, so secure your Zip car immediately. You may want to keep the car the whole day so you have time to visit all of the amazing factory stores at Arundel Mills!
The Sperry Outlet store holds a variety of colors and patterns in the classic boat shoe and you will be sure to find a pair for a steal! Just remember, these are not only for time spent on the water, you can wear them everywhere. Get a neutral color you can wear with anything or, to mix it up, get a bright color to wear with shorts and a neutral top. Whatever color conclusion you come to, it will be worth it!






East Coast Chic (ECC) began as a fashion blog in 2010. I created ECC because the diversity of style on the East Coast is inspirational and endless. ECC allows me to share my favorite fashion thoughts and spots from my headquarters in Washington, DC, as well as other trend setting states along the East Coast and beyond.
