Leather loafers
Loafers are the easy slip-on dress shoe. Penny loafers have a leather strap across the vamp, horsebit loafers a metal bit, and tassel loafers small leather tassels.
Which loafer is most formal?
A plain black loafer or a horsebit loafer works with suits; penny and tassel loafers are more relaxed.
Should loafers feel tight?
Snug, yes — with no laces, the fit holds your heel.
