The effortlessly stylish loafer has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in recent seasons. But those in the know will agree that the timeless loafer has always been in style regardless of season.
Perfectly balancing the look of laidback luxury with long-wearing versatility, if you don’t yet own a loafer, you’ll quickly notice how much of a workhorse it becomes once you do.
Whether worn for work or for the weekend, the magic of this classic design lies in its soft and unconstructed upper, which moulds to the foot. Often crafted in a leather or brushed suede, the natural strength and suppleness of leather, and the unique construction gives the loafer a comfort factor that many other styles just cannot match.
That being said, not all loafers are created equal, and it is here that authentic craftsmanship makes the difference.
Choosing a trusted heritage brand will mean a well-designed loafer from leather selection right through to sole technology. A traditional hand-stitched toe ensures maximum comfort, right from the very first step. A high-tech sole not only provides flexibility, but also full foot support.
A leather lining lets moisture escape, allowing the foot to breathe. For this reason, loafers can be worn without socks. For evening, pair with trousers or smart jeans. And for business days, the loafer creates a sleek, fashionable look when worn with slimmer cut trousers.
Thanks to this versatility, loafers are the ultimate all-rounder style to pack when travelling - a well-designed one can do the job of more than one shoe in your suitcase. They make a great day option with tailored shorts or a turned-up cuff trouser, when a dressier-than-sneakers occasion is on the calendar.
Trusted by stylish men for generations, a loafer can truly do it all.
