Suede Kiltie Loafer non tassel recs?
Just recently wore my first pair of loafers, and I was immediately smitten. N ow I'm in the market to complement my existing collection that consist of
Black Horsebit (Carmina)
Cordovan Tassel (Alden)
And now looking to get my last pair of loafers that's different from my current ones. And I've come to the conclusion that I want a pair of suede kiltie loafer. I find penny bit too plain for my liking.
Do you guys have any recs? Just scouting for options before maybe buying the attached loafer in the pic (Myrqvist, Ängsö)
Max budget is 500€

i'm not a big fan of those in a vacuum; to me at least the kiltie overpowers the rest of the shoe
if you're willing to expand your loafer collection to four, i'd say split the difference and get a pair of black moc toe kilties (doc martens adrians if you want a different profile or gh bass weejunz) and a lighter pair of suede loafers (meermin snuff suede tassel if you're okay with another tassel, or aldens if you can find them on ebay)
the two of those combined will probably be around 500 EU but gives more options across the board
Good shout regarding the profile, I was maybe bit too caught up on what's on the vamp. Not sure how I feel about the patent leather finish coupled with tassel and kiltie combination. It somewhat looks quite busy for my eyes. Regarding the Meermins they looked nice, but their kudu loafers, woah!
If you just bought 2 pairs of loafers, what's the rush to buy a third?
My advice would be to just wear your 2 pairs (rotate them with your other shoes) for a month or two or longer, and keep an eye on #waywt (and wherever else you look at fashion inspo) to see what kind of loafers people are rocking
Don't buy too much too fast, you'll likely regret it. 3 pairs of loafers after "just recently wearing your first pair" is too much too fast.
