Fred Perry Vintage Tennis Shoes

On my list of clothes to buy for the summer is a pair of casual and practical shoes that will look great with jeans, shorts and other casual wear. I have never been  fan of trainers and prefer to wear them when I do sport, which is a fairly rare occurence. I do however have a fairly active life and like to walk every where whenever possible so a comfy pair of casual shoes is essential.

I love these vintage style Fred Perry tennis shoes. Fred Perry, by the way, was a famous tennis player known as one of the worlds greatest players. He was also known for his relationships with film stars including Marlene Dietrich and Helen Vinson. He became associated with his own clothing brand that was associated with polo shirts with the famous laurel logo. These polo shirts were adopted by the Mods in the late fifities and ever since Fred Perry has become associated with British street style.
