Buying men's loafers: points to consider

Men's loafers are a popular, sophisticated type of footwear that can be worn on almost any occasion. They are suitable both for working and for meeting friends, and are considered the casual, sporty footwear par excellence. Their great versatility is the secret of their success.

Their urban style, elegance and comfort make them a classic must-have in men's shoes, although many women also wear them today, as shown by the wide variety of women's loafers available.

Furthermore, as loafers are casual footwear that comes in very different models, they can be combined with an increasingly varied range of outfits and cater to a great range of ages and styles. In short, footwear for anybody.

Features of men's loafers

Loafers have very specific characteristics, which, despite their similarity to men's slippers, can be distinguished quite easily:

- Fastening: One of the main characteristics of this type of footwear is that it does not have laces or buckles. This is why putting them on is so easy, they can be just slipped on.

- Varied types: Far from being a simple, stripped-down shoe, the loafer comes in various styles so that there are more options for combining it with different outfits and it can be worn on a wide range of occasions.

- Versatility: Unlike some models of men's sandals, which are mostly worn in summer, loafers can be worn in cooler seasons like spring or autumn.

Types of men's loafers

There are currently many types of men's loafers, but the most popular are the Beefroll, Tassel and Italian models, each with features that make it unique and determine its particular style and suitability for different occasions.

Beefroll loafers

Their name is due to the knotty strap that attaches the top of the footwear to the vamp, which resembles a meat roll. It is the loafer par excellence, preserving the style of the original loafer.

As we shall see below, it is suitable for any type of occasion, although it is most often worn with casual clothes.

Tassel loafer

The Tassel loafer is recognisable by its bow with two tassels on the instep, i.e., with a kind of fringe. It is more formal and more elegant than the Beefroll, and is often worn for special occasions or upscale events.

Italian loafer

Italian loafers have their own personality and free style. They are made from softer, thinner leather, making them truly comfortable shoes that adapt perfectly to the foot and, thanks to their small size, have a very pleasing appearance. They are one of the most popular loafers, but their durability is less than that of other types, because of the materials used in their manufacture.

How to combine men's loafers

There is no doubt that these are elegant, flattering shoes, but you must know how to combine these loafers to make the most of an outfit. What should we consider? Although there are no fixed rules in the fashion world, the following guidelines are helpful:

- Avoid wearing them with a suit. Remember that they are not as formal as Oxford shoes.

- They are suitable for combining with Bermuda shorts, jeans and chinos. That said, we should not choose models with tassels or wear socks when in shorts. Socks should always be of a similar colour to the shoe and should show as little as possible.

- They look very good with close-fitting and straight trousers, always leaving the shoes exposed.

Although the shoe/trouser combo is a key aspect to consider when combining footwear with an outfit, your loafers must also be consistent with the style of your other garments.

-They can be worn with linen, cotton and knitted jackets to achieve an elegant but sporty touch.

- Linen shirts are a go-to match. You can invent a lot of colour combinations, creating informal but elegant styles. Brown is the colour most often used with these outfits.

If you want a more formal outfit, choose leather loafers. Lottusse is an expert in this kind of footwear. You will find various models in our catalogue, all made with top-quality leather.

History

The history of the loafer is rather surprising, as it did not originate in Europe or Asia. In fact, today's loafers can be traced back to the moccasins worn by the early Native Americans. "Moccasin" derives from the word "makasin" in the Powhatan language, which simply means "shoe". At that time, they were made of untanned leather with soft soles that allowed the wearer to feel the ground whilst walking.

Their popularity spread across Europe in the '30s as Norwegian fishermen began wearing them. In the '40s and '50s it was already the most widely used footwear in Europe and the USA, especially among young students and they continue to be worn extensively today.
