Monk Strap Vs Penny Loafer | Dress Shoe Battle Beatdown! | RMRS Style Videos
About this video
Centeno compares monk straps and penny loafers, discussing their design differences, versatility, and appropriate occasions. He argues that while penny loafers are more traditionally classic, double monk straps are becoming modern classics and offers his personal recommendation for which shoe to prioritize when building a wardrobe.
Key takeaways
- Centeno recommends the double monk strap as the better first choice despite being more fashion-forward, as he believes it’s evolving into a modern classic with timeless design elements
- Centeno notes that neither shoe is technically appropriate for formal business settings like interviews or weddings with a dark suit, though both can work with casual suits if worn with confidence
- Centeno argues the penny loafer is more casual due to its leather construction and makes it suitable for conservative dressers or those just starting to build their shoe collection
