Moccasin

The moccasin is also a great classic, more beautiful than tennis shoes but still comfortable and relaxing. A bit like being in slippers, but outside the home. Every true gentleman should have a pair.

They have recently found popularity with the introduction of tassels, bows and buckles, mostly of suede, but also of every possible and imaginable color..

Loafers are perfect for summer, so we recommend a twinning with a pair of Bermuda shorts and a white shirt or t-shirt with masculine accessories. They are strictly worn without a sock!!

Loafers are particularly well matched with chinos, cotton trousers, tailored shorts or bermuda shorts, jackets and casual shirts.l.
