Barker Clive Loafer

The beauty thing about loafers, is that they can go a lot of different routes and still be appropriate. Whether, “penny,” with some rolled jeans or “monk strapped,” with a suit, the slip on loafer has a lot of diversity.
Barker of England, keeps the tradition flying, with these gorgeous ox blood, tassel numbers.

An almost visual collective of styles, the Clive seems to capture, the wingtip, saddle and brogue, with a perfect formal balance.

Thom Brown Wingtip Brogue

We can never get enough wingtips. And we’re loving the fact that every designer this season seems to be dropping a version of the iconic style. These here, from Thom Brown are relatively conservative, bearing much of what has historically come to be the essence of the wingtip. However, the Thom Browne models have some intriguing details.
The sole is a simple crepe, similar to that of a desert boot. This makes the shoe incredibly comfortable, as compared to a wood and leather bottom. Meticulous, white, contrast stitching pushes their street cred and the famous Thom Brown striped pull tab, adds a fun finale to the whole show.

The success of Prada's Spring Summer 2011 Espadrilles Brogues sees this popular design make a comeback for Fall Winter 2011. But this time, the summer element of using jute rope trimmings (espadrilles style) has been removed and exposing the stripe detail sides on the soles. Colours are also adopting a more sombre tone, in deep burgundy and timeless black.
