Building around Alden Color 8 Shell Cordovan LHS penny loafers

thank you that's super helpful! part of my problem is I see fits like yours and they look so well put together but I feel like I'm not at that level yet. so if I try to throw on the color 8s with what I currently have (say, a cotton button down and linen shorts) they'll look out of place

yep fair points. I just figure the unlined aspect is more forgiving for comfort with the toes/top of foot

also I guess it doesn't need to be unlined, but with the amount of difficultly I've had in trying to find loafers that fit right, plus the extreme comfort I've discovered from my unlined chukkas, it seems like a good bet they'll feel good

technically, I own a brown pair of AE pennies, but they hurt my feet so I plan to sell them. I also have a black pair of AE bit loafers that I haven't worn enough to determine if they will also hurt my feet or not. so these new Aldens will effectively be my only pair of loafers, black bits notwithstanding
