How to Wear Loafers ( A Dapper Man’s Guide)


What are Loafers?

Perhaps the most stylish shoe of our time, loafers are the ultimate in refined, classic footwear for a range of reasons. Easily adaptable, able to be dressed up or down and flattering in an assortment of materials, loafers are the staple that is here to stay. You shouldn’t feel guilty about investing in this shoe style, given they are minimalistic, and are easily adaptable for different looks and seasons. Be aware, however, that the way you style loafers is incredibly important. You want to do justice to these worthwhile additions to your wardrobe so that they will perfect looks instead of looking out of place. Fortunately, our guide covers everything from what colors you should invest into weighing in on the whole socks, no socks debate.

History of Loafers

While loafers allude reference to transatlantic high society and Ivy League culture, the shoe is actually of Scandinavian origin. A Norwegian introduced the loafer which eventually developed into the sartorial styling of preppy culture. Bottom line, the loafer has evolved into what we know now as a more streamlined shoe style, perfect for incorporation into casual or formal looks. Its progression in time has shown its purpose change from utility to aestheticism. Loafers are far easier to style and look a lot better; they are simple, classic and far more versatile than other lace-less shoe options.

The Penny Loafer

One of the most traditional, classic styles, the Penny Loafer is a safe bet if you’re in need of a minimal shoe. This loafer is admired for its versatility and minimalism alike, so an investment of this version of the humble loafer is recommended. The Penny Loafer’s name was established in the fifties, where the shoe enjoyed a profound popularity with prep students. The shoes emerged as a classic Americana staple, featuring predominantly in collegiate styles of dress across America. It was a preferred shoe option due to its simplistic style and easy adaptability. Now, the penny loafer is a nod to the past, but can be found in a range of different materials suiting every gentleman’s distinctive taste.

The Tassel Loafer

Incredibly stylish, the tassel loafer is our favourite of the many styles this shoe comes in. Clean, simple with the playfulness of a single tassel on each shoe, this one is the ultimate for your wardrobe. This loafer is a humble ode to the great European style, alluding to classic Italian menswear. While the tassel loafer can be made in leather, suede emerges as another excellent choice. Suede will also allow you greater freedom when it comes to adapting your tassel loafer to different dress codes. Perfect alongside a well-fitted cotton suit, or teamed with a pair of slim chinos, tassel loafers work well in beiges, browns, navies and khakis.

The Gucci Loafer

One of the most distinctive versions of the loafer, the Gucci loafer is known for the metal clasp across the front of it. While this style of loafer has enjoyed popularity in the past, be cautious when choosing appropriate versions of this loafer. Our biggest tip when it comes to this loafer is to go for styles that are simplistic and done in the most classic of colours and materials. You will want to embrace a more vintage approach to this style. Stick to browns and blacks, and ensure the style you have chosen is classically done.

Loafer Materials

For versatility, suede loafers are our top pick. Suede is incredibly adaptable because it can easily be dressed up and dressed down. Suede loafers also have a bit of texture to them, which lends quite nicely to the overall dimension of your shoes. These loafers are also useful for semi-formal looks, as they are neither super casual nor super formal. Loafers in leather are also encouraged, but we cannot stress enough that it is the style of your shoe that will make all the difference. Keep in mind that you can opt for patent leather styles for more formal occasions. The gloss of genuine patent leather adds a nice shine to simplistic silhouettes and dresses up your clothing.
