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.

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,

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!

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.

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.

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

Never have two people been more out of touch with the economics, mechanics/differences of street-style and institutional variations of why certain men wear what they do. First off, horse bit loafers are, as the name implies, actual replicas of horse bits that go into the mouths of, well, horses. Horse bits, by the very nature of the design, make noise and will no matter the manufacturer of the shoe unless the manufacturer somehow solders the horse bit joined ends together. Those who engage in any equine sports would know this, though. The boyfriend's attempt to shoe shame people based on how expensive a shoe may be is tasteless. To call people who wear horse bit or tassel loafers old and or douchey is very judgy. Whether one is wearing a Venetian loafer or any other type of shoe they want to wear, to say that these are shoes that men should or should not wear presupposes that these two are official appointed authorities on either. Here's the thing, guys. By what you like, and can afford, wear what you want. Without people pushing the envelope of fashion where would we be today? Experiment. Have fun. And enjoy. Whilst I understand that these are supposedly just recommendations for those who may not have an ounce of fashion sense, all of the judgment and snarkiness will alienate most of the audience that you're trying to help which, by the way accounts for the massive amount of thumbs Downs.

Horse bit loafers are probably my favorite as they are usually the most comfortable, however, horse-bit loafers are a no-go with suits. I will never, and I mean never understand men who wear horse-bit loafers with suits. It looks tacky and is the reason why most people hate horsebits. Get a high-quality horse-bit loafer, and think of any outfit you'd wear with a simple white sneaker. Instead of wearing a sneaker try the horsebit instead. Again, I can't stress enough high quality. My favorite leather for a horse bit is lamb

Boat shoes are (assuming you don't actually have a boat) for old men or guys who have zero imagination. Driving mocs are totally impractical, and look tatty after a very short period of outdoor wear. Penny loafers look too dressy with jeans, so which means they're a limited. IMHO, the best all-rounder is a suede loafer with a then leather sole, minimal detailing, and no snaffle or tassles. You can wear them with jeans, chinos, a suit etc.
