I know today is known as many things across Christianity; The Feast of The Epiphany, Three Kings Day, for example, but here on the Bayou and along the Gulf Coast, looking at you Mobile, we refer to it as 12th Night, the official start of Mardi Gras and the first day you can consume King Cake. I went to look for my Purple, Green, and Gold shirt and realized its way to big now. I went with this one as my back up, still big on me but traditions are traditions and means I need to go shopping after my follow up with the orthopedist. The shirt, Brooks Brothers The jeans, Daniel Cremieux The boots, Thursday Chukka The scent, Slow Explosions Imaginary Authors The watch, Timex The hair, by me Make it a good day.

I have multiple pair of oxfords, derbies and some double monks. However, I only have one pair of brown leather penny loafers. I’d like to get some new loafers so I can wear them more casually maybe a sport coat at most. Could go with jeans, chinos and pleated trousers. I’m specifically looking at trying Meermin for the first time, maybe a tassel (I linked penny), and seriously considering suede. Also lined or unlined? I really don’t know as I only have lined shoes. I’m very comfortable buying laced dress shoes but I’ve only recently come around to loafers. Any thoughts and opinions are welcome. https://meermin.com/collections/mens-loafers/products/514270-navy-suede-e https://meermin.com/collections/mens-loafers/products/514511-rust-superbuck-e https://meermin.com/products/514511-brown-superbuck-e
