Everyday Summer Loafers
Looking for an everyday loafer or more professional/affluent looking shoe for summer. I feel shoes can elevate and outfit
I have Allen Edmonds Verona II in walnut that are my go to for everything weddings, work, sometimes out but I think I should have a few different shoes in the arsenal
Any recommendations? Price isn’t really a factor, quality sharp looking shoes are.

I guess they don’t have to necessarily be loafers but lace up dress shoes seem less casual for just going out
Grant Stone Traveller in suede, whatever colour fits your personal style.
i feel like one shouldn't conflate "elevated" or "professional" with looking affluent
a pair of belgians (morjas, soloviere, etc) or shell tassel loafers (alden lhs or uh...mainly alden lol) makes the most sense but frankly i can "elevate" all my loafers just by shining them or wearing them with less casual coded things
I guess I meant more of a clean look
These are awesome
Rancourt is good for loafers too
I personally think you’ll get more value for your money elsewhere these days. But Alden has the very classic unlined leisure handsewn penny loafer, which are excellent. https://www.brogueshop.com/collections/alden/products/alden-unlined-leisure-handsewn-penny-loafer-1
I don’t necessarily associate them with a clean look though. And to the point about Belgians above, Baudoin & Lange offers some at a higher price point than Morjas. Only real benefit there is that they have a ton of colors. https://baudoinlange.com/products/men-sagan-classic-plain-lusitanias-dark-brown-suede
Baudoin & Lange
Classic Men's Loafers Plain in Lusitanias Dark Brown Suede
Named for their sophisticated smoky cigar-coloured hue, these handcrafted dark brown suede men's loafers for men are reminiscent of their habanero counterpart.
I’m also a big fan of what both Anglo Italian and the Anthology have done with Crockett and Jones. Again, all higher price points.
Alden LHS in suede or shell cordovan
Thank you everyone for the help
