Penny Loafers. Suitable for everyday wear, this classic cut is comfortable, and usually comes in dark colours, making it easily styled with a wide array of fashion styles. The strap that runs horizontally across the top of the shoe gives a preppy look and will match well with some casual pants and a smart button up shirt, or for a more laid-back look, pair them with denim jeans and a dark t-shirt.
2. Tassel. Tassel loafers have a bit of a dandy flair, with tassels incorporated in the design across the vamp of the shoes. They are usually made with suede or leather and can be styled both formally and casually. Wearing them with chino shorts and a collar short gives off a holiday vibe. Wear them without socks, or with ankle socks to subtly accentuate the shoes.
3. Driving Loafers/ Drivers. Originally worn by race car drivers, driving loafers are great for a laid back yet dapper aesthetic. Pair them with a simple but elegant outfit, like skinny jeans and a polo shirt, and you’ll look like you’re ready for lunch at the yacht club.
4. Boat. Once a popular choice with prep boys on their way to become gentlemen of the world, these shoes were made for boaters who needed shoes that prevented them from slipping on the deck of the boat. Since they’re great for maritime activities, rock a pair on your next trip to the beach with some casual shorts and a smart t-shirt.
