Today we are looking at what to wear with the penny loafer...
Legend has it that in the 1930s, students at Ivy League universities would slip a penny into the diamond-shaped cutout on the vamp of their loafers as a fashion statement. This playful touch was the start of the "penny loafer."The iconic design, characterized by a moccasin-like construction with a saddle-shaped strip of leather across the instep, has remained largely unchanged over the years. Renowned for their clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, the absence of laces adds to their overall sleek appearance. Often associated with a smarter wardrobe, they have become very much a go-to everyday shoe.
