Chunkier or slimmer loafers for my first pair?
Hi everyone, I am looking to upgrade my style when it comes to the trousers and shoes I wear. I wanted to get a pair of loafers to be versitle with the variety of trousers I would wear (I.e. wool, jeans, chinos,etc.) and I am going back and forth on the style and type of loafer I should buy. I am thinking a black pair will work with most things, but I was going through and trying to decide between a more chunkier loafer like the Doc Martins penton and a slimmer one like the Allen Edmonds.
I have dress shoes from AE and I like the style and quality but I feel like DM’s chunkier style gives off a more modern and young look while AE feels more trad. I also wonder if the DMs would also work well with a more casual style (jeans) than the AE.
Are my instincts accurate or am I way off? I am 26 I want to dress well without feeling like I’m dressing too old. Would appreciate anyone’s thoughts!
