How To Wear It: Suede Loafers for Spring and Summer
We’re not talking boat shoes here. We’re not even talkin’ clunky, “Weejun” style penny loafers. We’re talking sleek without being pointy, comfy with or without socks, suede loafers for the warm weather ahead. BR’s Dellbrook Suede Loafer shown above and throughout this post are a fine example of this type of shoe. Dressed down from laced dress shoes for sure, but not schlumpy in the least. Could you wear them with shorts? Maybe, but sticking with chinos or trousers or even jeans is the safer way to go. As evidenced by these suggestions:
