Have you ever wondered why there are tassels on the loafers? Read our guide on mens tassel loafers to know exactly how they are styled.

The first leather loafers for men come from the North American tribes. The word “moccasin” takes on the broader meaning of the term footwear. These tribes used to bandage their feet with soft animal skins, sewing it on the back of the foot and fixing it to the ankle. This technique helped them protect their foot and keep them warm. This is how the first loafers for men were born and over the years they has undergone various reinterpretations.

There are many moccasin models sought after by men:

1 Simple moccasins

2 Fringed moccasins

3 Horsebit loafer

4- Loafers with buckles

 

But the shoes that will be covered in this article are the much loved loafers with tassels.

If the occasion is a wedding, you can certainly choose the loafer with tassels but make sure that:

1- the ceremony takes place during the day and not in the evening;

2- it is in dark colors or shiny calfskin;

3- you do not go overboard, stick to classic leather/color combinations!

4- you are not a witness or a very “close” relative; in this case it is preferable to follow the rules of bon ton and opt for a plain Oxford. See all Oxford DIS.

 

If you want to wear a tassel loafer to go to work, it must be strictly in calfskin and dark tones, to maintain a certain sobriety in the workplace. You can wear it with a dark suit and a long coat in warmer tones. The classic leather models are obviously those most suitable for important occasions or for business meetings, gala dinners or ceremonies. 

They fit perfectly with suits (with jacket and tie, so to speak) and unmatched suits.

 

Moccasin: with or without socks?

One of the questions we get frequently asked is: “should I wear it with or without socks?”

If you choose to combine an elegant moccasin with your outfit, you must wear socks. The perfect choice would be moccasin with long socks, but for the warmer seasons a small tear can be made to the rule and allow yourself to wear the sock that reaches up to the calf. To make sure you’re doing it right, sit down and cross your legs or bend over as if you were to pick up something on the ground and make sure your skin is completely covered.
