Once symbolic of an era of elegance, the evolution of the loafer is one that has been renewed and imbued with unprecedented possibility. Born as an offspring of the simple fisherman’s shoe holding precedent in Northern Europe, the loafer we know and love has been a shoewear staple for as long as we can remember. Most prominently making its presence known over the last few years with fashion house conglomerates like Valentino, Gucci, and Maison Margiela ingraining a prestigious level of modern craftsmanship into these historic shoes.

Whether you’re walking a mile to work (common among fellow new yorkers) or taking a boat ride through the Amalfi, these menswear staples are essential to thoroughly compliment any occasion while still remaining effortlessly composed. Not to mention, loafers communicate a suave sophistication; I mean, look at their history. If you decide to thrift it, we understand. Though, if you’re leaning towards lavish, we are here to help ease the transition.
