penny loafers vs tassel loafers

Looking to buy a pair of black loafers for my wardrobe. Undecided on whether or not I should get a pair of tassel loafers or penny loafers. Anyone able to fill me in on whether or not the styles serve different niches/are more appropriate for different looks? Currently leaning towards the ones with the strap. Here's a couple of examples of the ones I'm looking at on ebay

Your style is kinda menswear/prep adjacent right? Penny loafers are definitely more associated with prep/ivy Tassel gives more lazy luxe vibes to me

Full strap pennies are more formal. I personally would go with the tassels. They can be dressed up and down pretty easily especially if they're calf

Idt Iā€™ve ever heard that. Full strap loafers are more formal than the normal half strap loafers and I donā€™t think they can be dressed down as much as tassels can

Oh I thought you were saying strap Vs tassels, my bad. I honestly don't think there is a difference between full Vs half strap in formality though.

Tassels are great but they are kind of the ā€œgo to hellā€ of loafers if youā€™re wearing them more casually. Penny loafers are much easier to wear casually but harder to dress up. You canā€™t really go wrong with either just a matter of personal preference. For me, color 8 penny and black tassels are the move
