There are a couple things that can make a stylish gentleman stand out — his watch and his shoes. It’s an easy way to distinguish yourself from the crowd without the need for big gestures. If you’re in need of some shoes for formal occasions, then there’s nothing better than slipping on a pair of tasselled loafers. But how do you make sure that you standout from the crowd when others are sure to have the same idea?
Paul Smith is a designer that embraces adding subtle pops of color and quirky design details to his traditional pieces. His style is self-described as being “traditional with a twist,” and his Simmons Tasseled Loafers distinguishes itself from other mundane loafers with just enough visual interest, without going overboard. Made from premium calf leather with a smooth, polished finish, the real standout features are the ‘Artist Stripe’ leather footbeds with gold signature-emboss and the double-tasseled fronts with multi-coloured detailing on the inside of each tassel that hints at a subtle colourful twist with every step. It’s an easy way to introduce a bit of color to your style, without abandoning tradition.
