Best Loafers for Summer Outfits
Inspiration
In recent years, the interest in men's shoes has increased, while the consumers are often well-read about the history and the craftsmanship behind different shoe models. We have taken a closer look into the loafer, a shoe model that has found a permanent home in the elegant summer style of men across the globe.
Some of these gentlemen like the late Sergio Loro Piana, found it to be more comfortable to wear their loafers without socks during the summer. Others wouldn’t dream of it. During the ‘50s young Ivy League students wore their loafers with white socks.
In any case, a good quality loafer can elevate almost any outfit. We have chosen five styles that allow you to have fun and wear them just the way you like it.
