Few shoes balance ease and elegance like the loafer. Handcrafted in Italy and rooted in generations of shoemaking tradition, loafers are a versatile choice that can transition seamlessly from casual settings to the most formal occasions. At 124 Shoes, we curate loafers that aren’t just fashionable for the season, they’re timeless investments designed to last.
Here’s how to wear loafers across the key moments of your week.
Casual Everyday Dressing
For relaxed, off-duty style, pair loafers with slim chinos or tailored denim. Earthy tones like suede browns or washed leathers offer a laidback yet polished look, especially when paired with a crisp shirt or knitwear. This effortless combination is perfect for weekend outings or city strolls.
Our Pick: Explore the Conflict For Interest Maxwell in Mid Brown — A stunning timeless loafer from Conflict For Interest featuring a leather upper. This classic dress loafer has a slight yet unique twist and is suitable to be worn for any occasion with a beautifully tailored suit or to the office.
Work and Smart-Casual
Loafers make an excellent alternative to lace-ups in the office. Choose sleek leather loafers in black or deep brown for professional polish, or try tassel and penny loafers for a touch of personality. Pair with tailored trousers and a blazer for a look that feels sharp without being over-formal.
Our Pick: The Lemargo HD07A Brown - A Limited edition tassel loafer from Conflict For Interest exemplifies timeless elegance. Effortlessly transition them from casual jeans to smart trousers, the perfect shoe for all seasons. Pair them with linen suiting in the summertime or cotton chinos and blazers when the weather gets cooler. Exclusive to 124.
Special Occasions
From weddings to evening events, a high-shine loafer adds refinement to any tailored look. Patent or velvet styles are particularly elegant when worn with a suit, ensuring you stand out while keeping the silhouette clean and modern.
Our Pick: Lemargo HD06A — a slip-on tassel loafer in a rich, hand-dyed black finish. This is craftsmanship at its highest level; the kind of shoe you only understand once you wear it. A true investment piece, designed for life’s most important occasions.
So, Why Loafers from 124?
Every loafer in our collection begins in the quiet corners of Italy, in family-run workshops where shoemaking is a craft, not a process. Here, generations of artisans dedicate themselves to every stitch, every cut, and every finish, ensuring that each shoe carries the mark of true expertise. The leather is selected not for cost, but for character, it breathes and ages gracefully, and it develops a patina unique to the wearer.
The construction is meticulous: hand-lasting, carefully stitched, and built to maintain its form for decades. Every tassel, every seam, every curve has a purpose, designed to complement both style and comfort. From the first step, you feel the difference — a softness, a support, a confidence that mass-produced alternatives cannot replicate.
These are shoes that do more than accompany you; they become part of your story. Our loafers are designed to endure, to grow richer with age, and to reward you with elegance that transcends trends. This is craftsmanship at its highest level, investment pieces for moments that matter and for a wardrobe built to last.
