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

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.

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.

Yes 100% those Gucci loafers pictured above are what a certain set of WASPs wear. Chevy Chase Club types.

She said Birks. They look like these Birkenstocks, but are Gucci.
