Business Casual foot attire
Hi all!
I am soon visiting a restaurant which had a “Business casual or Elegant” dress code. Explicitely stating “we do no accept sneakers, shorts or baseball caps”.
Now I am wondering whether these Lanvin DBB1’s will pass as business casual or should I start looking for a pair of loafers/chelseas and do you have recommendations for these types of shoes?
I will be wearing a polo tee or buttoned shirt with black pleated trousers.
Thanks!

Those are clearly sneakers which the dress code says is not allowed
You'll likely want to wear a blucher/derby, loafer, or boot in this case, but you'll need to post a budget for specific recommendations
Understood, was thinking they were referring to nike esque really sports shoes
My bad, budget is around 150
Maybe something from GH Bass then
A suede loafer, too casual?
For example
Not that it's too casual, it's just ugly
Never get sneaker soles on a non-sneaker shoe
Understood thanks!
