Penny loafers, apron loafers and Italian loafers go with casual or dressy outfits. Tuxedo loafers in patent leather are for formal events. Penny loafers have a leather strip over the front, with a slot that can fit a penny (hence their name). They make a great go-to shoe in oxblood leather.

Navy is versatile in leather and suede. Burgundy can adapt to different looks and adds a pop of color. Pale colors like sea green and powder blue are casual, summery options. Neutrals can be mixed and matched with many colors in your outfit. Put the shoes on in the store, and test them by walking around a bit. If you're buying shoes online, measure the length and width of your feet. Check the measurements against the measurement of the shoes. Some shoes can be more comfortable after they're broken in. However, you don't want them to be too large, too tight, or quickly uncomfortable. If your feet are in between sizes, pick the next half size up. If you have feet that are slightly different sizes, opt for the larger sized-shoe. Get adhesive pads for this purpose, which you place in the heel of the shoe for the smaller foot. It's not advisable to buy cheap loafers (or leather shoes). You may be wearing them without socks at times, and they need to be resilient in warmth and sweat. The cost of loafers can vary hundreds of dollars, so check online reviews to make sure you're going to get your money's worth. Quality leather shapes well to your foot, resulting in more comfort. It also wears well over time.
Summary: Choose a material. Select a shoe style. Pick a color. Try them on. Pay for longevity.
