Leather vs suede loafers
Leather loafers have a smoother, more polished look and suit office wear. Suede loafers feel softer and have a textured, relaxed finish that works well with linen and light chinos. Suede needs more care around water and stains, so keep it for dry-day wear. If you want to see how to wear them, read How to Style Suede Loafers.
Choosing colour
- Tan: the most flexible. Works with blue, olive, beige and grey trousers.
- Navy: sharp with chinos and light shirts.
- Black: best for office and evenings.
- Brown and camel: warm, good for weekends.

Loafers are structured leather or suede slip-ons with a defined sole and heel. Canvas slip-ons are lighter and more casual.
