Today's Daily Style Stand-Up is one of the most versatile shoe options out there: the navy, suede leather loafer. Today's example is a navy suede Venetian loafer but almost any style and color of suede loafer can fill this spot in your closet. They can be dressed farther down and farther up than probably any other piece of footwear. Examples include: - Linen shorts, linen camp-collar button-up shirt, and a Panama hat. - Linen trousers, a cotton seersucker button-down shirt, and a Boater hat. - Chinos and a polo shirt. - Wool trousers and an OCBD. - Wool trousers, a dress shirt, and a sportscoat - tie optional. - Both of today's Style Battle items: A navy or gray suit. - A Tuxedo or other Dinner-Jacket ensemble. As a reminder, there are only two rules: - Answer the three questions. - Human answers only. (No AI responses.) The second rule is because I believe the community is best served by reading what actual humans in this actual community actually think. And, yes, there are too many words in that sentence with actual as the root... The first rule is to keep things simple and easy to follow. Just answer the following three questions: - Is this item (perhaps in a different color or different fabric) already in my closet? - What is one way I would style this item with things currently in my closet? - What is one thing not currently in my closet I would buy to style with this item?
