SWIMS (Norway) Men's Loafers

 

 

Didja know that loafers were originally developed in Norway? And SWIMS, hailing from the same country, specialises in durable rubber and mesh variants.

SWIMS loafers boast the brand’s water-resistant properties while also sporting breathable nylon construction, a durable and flexible TPU outer shell, anti-slip natural rubber sole, and ventilated anti-bacterial and odor-resistant EVA insole for cushioning.

When dirty, the shoes can even be thrown into the washing machine for quick and thorough cleaning. :-)

Whether at the pool party/the beaches, on a casual Friday at the office, or on the weekend stroll through the city malls, slip them on for a stylish and fun alternative to the sandal or flip-flop. A stylish option to pack on your holiday, too.

(RRP US$150 – US$180)

COLE HAAN (New York) Colourblock Penny Loafer

After the dapper LunarGrand wingtips, Cole Haan introduces yet another must-have design. This striking colourblock pair combines the classic penny loafer with the customary LunarGRand outsole for a dose of dress-meets-sport appeal.
The premium leather upper offers incredible quality, while the bright outsole provides enhanced cushioning and flexibility courtesy of Nike’s innovative technology.
Use this pair to refresh a classic look – they will make anything from a tee/rolled-up jeans pairing to a button-down shirt/chinos look positively fresh and cool!

BROOKS BROTHERS (New York) Heeled Loafer

The old-school loafer gets a fashionable lift and ends up taking centre stage as the must-have footwear item this season.
Birthed from the menswear trend that’s going strong, the timeless staple is elevated as a heel and as a result takes on a still-preppy-yet-feminine-and-polished tone. (Call it librarian chic, if you will.)
A versatile shape, this heeled loafer from Brooks Brothers pairs well with just about outfit -- from pleated skirts to cropped pants, from prim tailored dresses to rolled skinny jeans. And of course, it’s sure to work the hardest for you when added to your office wardrobe.
(RRP US$198)


Heeled loafers stomping down and off the runways.


BROOKS BROTHERS
Founded in New York City in 1818, Brooks Brothers is the oldest surviving menswear mercantile in the United States.
In its long and venerable history, Brooks Brothers has dressed robber barons, students, Madison Avenue Mad Men, royalty (both the Hollywood and European varieties), and presidents, including Mr. Obama.
Although Brooks Brothers has a conservative-prep image, through the years they have been fashion innovators. The company was one of the first sellers of silk neckties in the U.S., and is credited with developing the button-down collar and introducing chinos, Shetland sweaters, argyle socks, madras prints and seersucker suits for North American men. Now nearly 200 years old, Brook Brothers continues to uphold its reputation as the bastion of classic American style and Ivy League casual, branching their skillful craftsmanship into womenswear, children’s line, footwear and accessories.

At his second inauguration, Abraham Lincoln wore a coat specially crafted for him by Brooks Brothers. Hand stitched into the coat's lining was an intricate design featuring an eagle and the inscription, "One Country, One Destiny." Sadly, it was also the coat Lincoln was wearing when he was assassinated at Ford's Theater. For that reason, Brooks Brothers did not make black suits for many years.


It was Brooks Brothers who made Theodore Roosevelt’s uniform for the Spanish-American War.

ALEXANDER WANG "Trish" Wedge Mules

Both loafers and wedges are obviously very in these days, so we love that cool-kid designer Alexander Wang has created a modernised pair that fuses the best attributes of the two. Featuring a pointy-toe, fold-over fringe, tassles and a open back, these shoes will jazz up any basic work trousers. Also, there’s a four-inch (or 10cm+) mule heel -- that will elongate your frame fabulously for a day in the office or out on the town!
