Going for more of a trad look with my new blazer today:

See, I never like the use of boat shoes / camp mocs / ranger mocs / what have you in place of dress shoes. In my mind, they're more casual than sneakers. Casual leathers, lots of contrast, chunky laces, thick rubber soles, age casually...

I personally disagree. In the case of the photo that you're referencing I see it as just the right amount of sprezzatura. Everything else about the outfit is textbook. The shoes coordinate and aren't outlandish. But they do make a personal statement. To me, it's the essence of knowing the rules and then purposefully breaking just one of them to show some personality.
Sneakers would for sure be even more casual.Yeah, I certainly like those shoes more than I would sneakers. It works fine for me.
Agreed. I like the fit but the shoes are almost jarring. Maybe if they were suede?
Hola!
