A line from Niccolò Machiavelli

Boat shoe summer is here. I pay
attention to it even though I hate 
the style. I'm more into those hand-
crafted beige loafers, even though 

they tend to make me look mascu-
line, & that's not really a look I'm
after. Sure a neutral color palette 
can seem more expensive & that is

definitely a telling selling point; 
but men are so simple, & I don't 
want attitudes towards me to be 
tempered by that kind of thing.
