Do rich clean cut wasps wear Gucci loafers?

[Anonymous]

There’s this strikingly handsome man I see near my office once a week. Always perfectly dressed, effortlessly waspy. He frequently wears both brown and black loafer style (?) shoes, they have a small buckle on the top — I think that’s Gucci, yes? But when I search Gucci online everything seems tacky or way too trendy. Is this style only in the boutique? Want to buy for Father’s Day for husband.

They might be Ferragamo

I think the ornament buckle is more tasteful than Ferragamo’s. It seems like a Gucci signature?

Also the slip on loafers style (?) don’t look Euro flashy, they look super classic and elegant.

The gucci horsebit loafer is a classic but was super trendy a few years ago especially with the shearling. I have definitely seen the classic loafers online (for women at least), they run around 750 if I remember correctly.

A ton of driving shoes and loafers have a buckle on them. Some are $40 some are $1000. I go for classics like Burno Magli or Bally.

I know the guy, they are gucci loafers. He tall, long legs, good looking.

No. That sounds more like a gangster. Wasps wear wingtips or oxfords for work, not loafers.

Gay men love those loafers with the buckles —especially in suede. No socks preferred. Most heterosexual men wouldn’t be caught dead in them.

He is NOT a WASP.

I think the horsebit loafer caters to parnevus rather than patricians.

That was my first thought, too.
