People in China love slip-ons. Even in many business occasions, they wear Moccasin or boat shoes. This is of course because they don’t know anything about leather shoes.
The formal slip-on is definitely loafer.
The style of Loafers has been introduced, so I won’t go into details. Today, I mainly talk about how to match Loafer in suede leather.
Suede leather is just a material and it can be used on penny loafer and tassel loafer. Among them, I think penny loafer is more acceptable to Chinese people, because the style is basic and not so coquettish.
In fact, the suede leather loafer is a very old style. When it first came out, it was emphasized that it can only be worn in spring and summer. On the one hand, because suede leather is more casual than smooth leather, on the other hand, because suede leather is very delicate, it will easily become dirty or damaged in rain and snow in autumn and winter. But now, after the suede has protective spray, this bias has been gradually weakened. Of course, there are still many purists who insist that you shouldn’t wear suede in autumn and winter.
In fact, such a statement also exists for the loafer with smooth leather.
Everyone thinks that loafer is suitable for spring and summer, and it is especially brainwashed by a large number of pictures on the Internet that wear loafer without socks.
But I wear socks, loafer, trousers and a coat in winter and rainy days, and it’s no problem at all.
Back to suede loafer, if you wear it in winter, just pay attention to the colour and choose the dark ones.
In spring and summer, the chromaticity will be improved a little. Mainly because there are too few people wearing white pants in winter. If pants are in dark colours and shoes are too bright, especially suede, which is eye-catching and uncoordinated.
There are several basic principles for loafers in suede leather:
- Can I wear it with a suit? The answer is of course yes, especially in summer, the material is flax or cotton. It can be said that these two leisure flavors are quite enough together. But the most important collocation is definitely casual pants and a suit jacket.
- A formal suit is not really very appropriate. For example, a three-piece suit, together with suede loafer, will make people feel a little weird. And if it’s a black suit, it’s obviously for solemn occasions, even if you choose black suede loafer, it’s not that right.
- In my opinion, the only thing that can be worn with shorts in formal shoes is Loafer (and maybe boat shoe). At this time, there is no difference between smooth leather and suede leather.
- It’s ok to stick to brown suede. Of course, the brightness can be adjusted according to the season, but we should be cautious about sky blue and green.
Finally, let’s look at those amazing pictures.
Because the style of penny loafer is the trend brought by Ivy League students, the suede version of this is naturally suitable for students.
