The Perfect Summer Shoe 99% of Men Don’t Wear

About this video

Centeno provides a comprehensive guide to different types of loafers and slip-on dress shoes, explaining their origins, construction, and styling applications. He covers penny loafers, moccasins, tassel loafers, Belgian loafers, Gucci loafers, driving shoes, and brogues, offering specific recommendations on which styles work best with denim, chinos, and suits based on formality level and color.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues penny loafers are the best starting point for most men wearing loafers with jeans due to their versatility and timeless appeal, recommending darker or medium brown colors that coordinate with existing wardrobes
• Centeno advises avoiding distressed denim with loafers and pairing loafers with slim, straight, or relaxed-cut jeans rather than skinny or baggy styles
• Centeno recommends moccasins as the most casual slip-on option best suited for denim, while tassel loafers are dressier and harder to wear casually with jeans
• Centeno suggests Belgian loafers as a versatile option available in varied materials and colors that can work with both casual suits and jeans while providing more style distinction
