Snake Skin Boat Shoes

80s Yuppie Look Is Back With a Wild Twist

— February 24, 2009 — Fashion
I am a big fan of the flat boat shoe, or sailor shoes. I remember wearing a light turquoise pair when they were in fashion -- the first time around. I applaud the revival of the yuppie look in general, as long as we can be spared the I-am-on-my-daddy’s-yacht-attitude!

This pair is from the fashionable YMC label and comes with a fabulous faux snakeskin effect. If you want your very own classics with a twist, the price is £125 for the pair and can be bought online from oki-ni.
Trend Themes
1. Yuppie Fashion Revival - Opportunity for clothing brands to tap into the resurgence of the 80s yuppie look by offering modern twists on classic styles.
2. Faux Snakeskin Trend - Potential for footwear brands to incorporate faux snakeskin materials into their designs, providing consumers with a bold and eye-catching fashion option.
3. Online Shopping for Fashion - E-commerce platforms have the potential to reach a wider audience and cater to the demand for unique and trendy fashion items like snake skin boat shoes.
Industry Implications
1. Clothing Brands - Clothing brands can leverage the yuppie fashion revival to create new lines that cater to the nostalgic yet contemporary preferences of consumers.
2. Footwear Brands - Footwear brands can capitalize on the faux snakeskin trend by introducing stylish boat shoes and other footwear options that feature the bold pattern.
3. E-commerce Platforms - E-commerce platforms can seize the opportunity to expand their fashion offerings and provide consumers with easy access to trendy and unique fashion items like snake skin boat shoes.
