Which loafer detail belongs in your wardrobe?
Start with the trousers you already wear, then decide what you want the loafer to add. When comparing details such as velvet, embossing, bows or a platform, use a different check for each. Keep the outfit simple while you test the detail, and judge the trouser hem in the actual shoes. Confirm your retailer size before treating any listed offer as your option.
Designer shortlists
Choose one point of interest.
Start with a plain trouser and top. Add the loafer, then compare the result with a more decorative bag or belt. Decide where you want the detail to sit before adding anything else.
Put on the shoes you intend to wear. Pin one trouser leg if you want to reveal more of the vamp, then compare both sides while standing and walking before making an alteration.
Check the retailer measurements and the size attached to the listed offer. Different retailers may present sizes differently, so compare the labels directly and confirm the details before choosing.
