CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Patent Leather Penny Loafers

Here is again another beautiful statement of the iconic red lacquered sole designer that confirms this pair’s luxury credentials and it deserves its place among our best men designer loafers pick.

Attesting to that Louboutin luxury ethos, these Penny loafers rendered from a patent shiny black leather will definitely match with your finest tailored suit to really capture the elegant know-how respective to the House. Moreover, the pairs are lined with a smooth lambskin that is ensuring a great deal of a comfort.

GUCCI Leather Horsebit Loafers

Another timeless footwear is no other than the Gucci Horsebit Loafers. Although in the same line as the 2020 women’s attraction picks horsebit loafers, this one differs in style as it’s more relevant to Gucci color logo models.

A forever classic from the brand, the horsebit model still conveys that contemporary Louis the 14th figure with its discrete heels and compact forms. Made from the finest house leather, this pair remains ideal for our gentlemen who intend to make a serious style statement while showing an appreciation for the brand’s heritage.

As Robert Johnston, the member of the London Collections once said:
‘They will put a spring in your step and perhaps encourage you to stand a little taller, more confident.’

With the web stripe in green and red, this timeless pair was made to be noticed indeed!

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Ranveer Velvet Flat Loafers

Quite different in style from our No. 1 Louboutin pick, these fine pairs showcase a desire for nightlife, a luxury commitment to the most selective gentlemen clubs. More importantly, the Christian Louboutin Ranveer Flat loafers channel the entertainment in the men’s footwear.

Besides, these fine pairs emulate a vintage bohemian impression considering the fabrics. Crafted from velvet and delicately decorated with gold-tone embroidery and crystal detailing, the Louboutin Ranveer flats add a playful touch to those formal and comfy summer ensembles you’ll be dressing with.

ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA Suede Penny Loafers

Did we ever talk Zegna in our previous posts?! Well, guessing it is a No but this fancy slip-on blue penny loafers were simply a ‘coup-de-coeur’!

The Zegna Penny loafers take their name from traditional usages and recall that style considering the suede designed into an elegant and resilient profile. These would definitely run on for quite a long time! Though, this pair is far from the timeless, classy and contemporary Guccis and Louboutins we have gone past.

Wearwise, these Ermenegildo Zegna loafers would perfectly match your smart-casual ensemble settings like a fancy ‘chino and shirt’.

5/5
JW ANDERSON Leather Chain Loafers

Last but not least, an original and comfy go-to loafer that’s ideal for your sandy getaways or for a gentle stay over a summer brunch!

Here it is, JW Anderson defies you to break those golden chains!

Like the Zegna model and still worth of our best men designer loafers pick, the JW Anderson leather chain loafer would definitely fit with a casual ensemble.

These chain loafer mules are a great combination of slip-on-style and comfort. In fact, this pair embodies a statement-making design thanks to the chain adornment that dominates these loafers and which underlines mostly a discrete profile. Besides, the smooth goat leather and the rounded toe guarantee a comfortable wear.

Offered in other colors like burgundi, blue or beige with the same oversized golden rings, they are sure to complete any summer look.
