My favorite loafer is my uncle.

I grew up wearing Bass Weejun penny loafers as a teen in prep school, and I still like them today as an adult. Classic and traditional in an understated way. I've seen online reviews stating the Bass Weejun build quality has fallen off, but I haven't noticed. Maybe some of those reviews are old. They do take 2-3 days of wear to break in comfortably, though.

Well, I stopped listening the moment you dissed Tassel Loafers im afraid.

When I visited Colombia back in 2015 a very popular shoe for the more stylish men was a suede driving moc with horsebit. With the lighter outfits they had on the coast it did pair well. I ended up getting a pair. They are now my dancing shoes.

The format of the video is awesome again!!

Love all your videos @AwXInc, this advice and etiquette of dressing correctly is hard to find. Your videos are concise, to the point, clear and helpful!

Needed this video thanks

I love boat shoes unlike many here. I only wear them with shorts though. Here in Hawaii where most guys wear baggy shorts and flip flops or basketball shoes, it's an upgrade for sure. I like the ones Made in Maine.

Love this video, Thanks a ton.

Horsebit loafers are classic they will never go out of style.

Thoroughly enjoyed hearing about your (and my) favorite shoes. The models looked great in his since they didn't have any hair showing. Do you guys recommend shaving, trimming, if so the entire leg or just around the ankle? Thanks so much!

Thanks for the video you guys. Im a big fan of penny loafers. And yes your right, they look great with my chinos. Again, thank you guys. Love yall😘😜👍

lovely video as always

Short, detailed and perfect video!

Hi Ashley what do you think of the dutch shoes for the van Bommel brand

Love you guys. I've slowing been upgrading my wardrobe thanks to you guys. I really appreciate it. Keep up the good work.

Very informative video. I definitely need to get some driving mocs. Penny Loafers always seemed like little kid shoes to me, but I guess that's clearly just me! You lost me with the green, but I will stick with the main suggested colors. Which watch is Dorian wearing in this video? It looks pretty good.

Very good informative video. Thanks

Very happy that the second part was added as there technically only was one actual loafer before that 😉 anyhow really great shoes for summer!​

For driving Mocs would you recommend Jack Erwin as a more budget friendly option?

Love you guys!!!! Thanks for sharing all style advice. Can you please suggest your favorite women Loafers. Thanks

Hey guys, about to jump in and get my first pair of loafers. Does the Allen Edmonds Cavanaugh Penny Loafer fall into that category of the old guy, sewn edges loafers you mentioned we should try to avoid? I can't tell and need your advice. Thanks!

What are your thoughts on the Belgian loafers? I heard they are getting hyped in the sartorial world

Loved ur vids ❤️ love from India

A style breakdown/critique on famous fashion bloggers would be interesting to hear from you Ashley

My roommate is the only loafer I’ll ever need. He costs too much to get any others 😞

I just bought my first proper pair of loafers. Im super happy about owning a pair

How is the quality nowadays pf H. G. Bass’ Weejun loafers? Are their worth the money?

How should your loafer fit? It normal that your loafer slip at the heal, since there is no lace?

I like all the style of Loafers except the boat shoes and Penny Loafers as well as driving moccasin are my favorite.

I would like to add that Ashley is too ocd about shoe laces and tassels. I am one of those people who actually appreciates the aesthetic of the look a well tied laces and perfect tassels provide. I am sorry if I have offended, I don't intend to do so.

Just saw this at the end of May 2023. Basically sound advice here. I am a shoe person, and I own all of the loafer types mentioned, Weejuns (plain and tasseled), 2 Geox driving (bit and plain in black), 2 Cole Hahn bit and plain in brown), Sperry Topsiders. I don't get the prejudice against black drivers, my black Geox are the most versatile shoes I own, and I probably wear at least 25 different pairs of shoes at least once a month. The black Geox bit loafers look great with a suit (rare event) and especially jeans, or even an Adidas track suit. I am very partial to the drivers as an older person because the sole provides extra cushioning and security against slipping,

Don't know if you read comments on older videos -- but here's my question. I'm tempted to replace my navy suede derby shoes. These have been my dressy business casual go-to for the summer. Thoughts?

Tassel loafer is my favorite

In my opinion, the penny loafer is the best out there in the market, i own a few pairs my self.

Even Gucci iconic 1953 loafers have a subtle clinking sound!

I now spend a lot of time in SE Asia. I tend to wear good quality silk shirts and coloured linen trousers. What would you recommend as a loafer in these locales? The event is every day wear but to look smart and not shabby cool

I have some black LV horsebit loafers, just curious can they be worn with a suit?

I liked the expose of these types of shoes. It will be nice to see a whole video on boat shoes and how to style them with clothes, and also how to tie their laces making cool knots like double barrel which make a really cool and different fashion statement.

I recently purchased a pair of Randolph penny loafers at the Allen Edmonds store in Massachusetts in Chili as I had to throw a Black pair of LL Bean penny loafers away due to a hole in the sole where I pivot, LL Bean no longer sells these shoes, and they were 6 years old. I find Allen Edmonds a good brand, and their boots can be recrafted by them when the sole wears out. I am considering purchasing another pair but in Brown, as you mentioned. Thank you, Ashley, for your insight and advice.

That bell sound...I thought my fire alarm went off!

Great video, you guys make a great team!!

the definition of a loafer is a leather shoe shaped like a moccasin, with a low flat heel. Therefore boat shoes and driving moccasins can be loafers.

Ash, any opinion on Wallabee style shoes?

What’s your opinion on Bruno Magli Ago or Peter? The almond toe adds a nice modern twist.

Any thoughts on camp mocs? I don't own any loafer-type shoe but I feel like due to the bottom of the shoe, they seem like more versatile boat shoes.

@pattgsm

I also think that camp moccasins / ranger moccasins are the land verizon of boat shoes and are so much more versatile and more comfortable than boat shoes. Boat shoes have a very classic prep look but are as comfortable as a pair of 99 cents flip flops.

Other than no show socks, would you allow men to wear regular socks with driving shoes? If so, what occassion/s would that be?

Well even Gucci horsebit loafers will make sounds when walking so yeah, that’s part of the fun.

Hey, guy's, I love bit loafers, have budget Cole Haan and a little more upscale Ferragamos. I where them alot with my purple label navy blazer (classic cut) with slim/ modern cut jeans/ slacks/ khakis. When I in a group, they always think I'm the boss. Not that it makes me look old, commands respect. Still wondering if I'll bite the bullet and buy the iconic 1953 Gucci loafer. Great video, keep posting.

I like the video but I feel slightly differently about a few things and agree on a few things - 1) buy fewer pairs but make sure their quality is top notch ! Cheap pairs add up fast, especially when you have to throw them out. 2) best to buy penny loafers in brown with a burnish/burgundy/chestnut, because they can be paired with black too! 3) Yes, Tod’s without a shadow of a doubt make the best driving loafers- tan, navy blue, bottle green (slightly darker than hunting green), all fantastic choices! 4) Horsebit loafers- Gucci’s are iconic, but ferragamo makes an objectively better pair. 5) Venetians - very high end . Can often clash unknowingly . But boy are they comfy!

My goodness, people please don't waste your money on Ferragamo or Prada shoes. They are brands not shoemakers. You're paying a high price for not high quality. If you're going to spend that kind of money get them from a real shoemaker like Carmina or Carlos Santos (my 2 favs).

I love a deep oxblood loafer , well any shoe for that matter

O love my horse but loafers (6 pairs) and Im not a D-bag. Fyi I've learned from experience that the diving shoes with the small nubs wear out very quickly.

What about the best non-slip no-show socks?

Definetely respect (not at all) that in the whole video you showed us 6 types of loafers, but only 3 of them were actual loafers! And 2 out of those 3 were in 'not to wear' part. That pissed me off totally, to be fair! 2 pairs of 'loafers' were moccasins and another pair was actually slippers. That's how it should be: 1. Kiltie loafers (only my opinion. Might be too boldly for somebody, maybe even for majority) 2. Tassel loafers 3. Penny loafers (to keep it simple) P.S. Every pair was mentioned in leather variation. not in suede one

I do own a penny loafer and I'd like to wear it more. Now, I guess we agree that to the office, you cannot go showing your ankles even with the no show socks. So, as soon as I put socks it looks odd, I don't like it. Do you have any suggestions for...office loafers?

The penny loafer is the quiet cousin of the tassel loafer.

I think that driving mocks with a full sole are much more comfortable. The nubs are only for show and aesthetics and when it comes to shoes, comfort is most important. My 2 cents.

problem with sperry's are they don't have much arch support.

just picked up a pair of black steve madden penny loafers at burlington for 284 VERY comfortable and not a bad choice peace all

Boat shoes are very popular in Norway. I prefer them in brown leather.

Some Venetian loafers are just like Driving Mocs execpt they have better sole for walking, and more comfy. Tods are also almost squared toe and also have sewn edges. I think Venetian have more variation, and i think theyre a good alternative for something like a Vans slip on, if u wanna change it up. (But not the one u showed in the Vid)

I like the Kenneth Cole Oskar and Venetian loafer

For the tassel diehards, think about it: less is more with loafers. That’s the point of the design. If you’re wanting to show more that likely speaks to your personality and goes against the inherent design. Tassels are therefore an extra add-on to a minimalist purpose ie casual look. And as my partner in her 20’s says: they look like women’s shoes with them on.

Damn upgraded in one day from business partner to fiance business partner. I see y'all, congratulations!

You were killing it... until you arrive at boat shoes. I think those are for boats only. Tassel loafers or gucci loafers much better and i have not being able to get one pair (i know they are not loafers but...) of the nice velvet slipons. (any cheap suggestion?)

Is it ok to wear suede loafers in summer?

@trevorsebastian1341

Yes, as long as it's not raining suede is perfect. I like how suede compliments a chino or textured suit pant.

I can’t wait to show up at the next Cars and Coffee with my penny loafers so all the other car guys can ask “what the hell are those on your feet” as they all admire the contrast stitching on their drivers. Because FUNCTION.

I love penny loafers.

What about tasseled Loafer?

I agree, I love driving Mocs, but the flat sole ones where it doesn't go all the way to the toe cap gets ruined so quickly. The cap would rub against the ground as you walk, destroying the leather.

So Gucci horsebit loafers are a no, fashion wise?
