She said Birks. They look like these Birkenstocks, but are Gucci. http://www.birkenstock.com/us/boston-oiled-leather/boston-core-oiledleather-0-eva-u.html?dwvar_boston-core-oiledleather-0-eva-u_color=5326&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlOKlweej2gIVB16GCh1iHwPGEAYYBCABEgLWS_D_BwE |
| Yes 100% those Gucci loafers pictured above are what a certain set of WASPs wear. Chevy Chase Club types. |
| PP here. And I am shocked (shocked, I tell you!) to hear people say WASPs don’t wear them. They are part of the WASP middle-aged man uniform. Go to Millie’s or Wagshal’s or Black Salt and count them!! |
They are definitely a rich-guy shoe, but are they a WASP shoe? I see Waspy middle-aged guys waddling around in Bean boat shoes or mocs as part of their casual weekend uniform. |
Hmm true. There is a slightly less dressy weekend day uniform. Which is usually a more casual button down and khaki pants with a more casual loafer etc. I'm really talking about work uniform, church uniform, dinner party, go to the club for drinks in a blazer uniform. |
DCUM is obsessed with WASPs because there are so many aspirational WASPs here. People who long to pretend they are old money with a house on the Cape, Vineyard or Nantucket. |
I'm nearly positive Sean Hannity wears these with blue jeans and a blazer 5x a week. or maybe there's a slightly different style, but for sure black GUCCI loafer
|
for example? |
