I'm going to try some tassel loafers.

It's all about the tassel loafers [/biased].
Mine have arrived, wife thinks they look a bit PIMP.
Socks vs no socks I suppose depends on the outfit/occasion. For work, I'd probably wear socks, I'm not Sprezzatura enough for the sockless look. Can anyone recommend some decent extra low no show socks? The ones I have, although great with trainers are still not low enough for my loafers (tassel or penny).
New pair of Barker calf captoe oxfords.
Got some Cheaney double monks arriving later on today.

Sockless is not a good look at all. I went to a 30th birthday party the other day and all the "stylish gents" had opted for cheap loafers/velvet slippers with no socks. Cary Grant is renowned as being sartorially aware and he wore socks with loafers - his attire in North by Northwest being a prime example.

No socks and I’m pretty sure he isn’t wearing American Tan tights either..Cary Grant is renowned as being sartorially aware and he wore socks with loafers - his attire in North by Northwest being a prime example.

How long ago was Cary Grant doing his stuff? Fifty years or so? It’s all very well consulting with our forbears for what is and is not acceptable, but things move on. To emulate them too closely becomes a pastiche.
I'm sure you look lovely with no socks. Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
