To find these loafers for men so so awful

Light hearted thread with a hint of real displeasure.

DH loves his black loafers with tassels. Wears them at the office everyday. I was secretly hoping I'd never see them again as they are on their last legs but today he bought a replacement pair on his way home.

I'm going to have to see them for another decade. I hate the tassels. I wouldn't mind plain black boring loafers.

AIBU to be planning ways to disappear them or plotting their untimely demise?

My instinct was exactly the same as the first reply!

Does he wear red trousers at the weekend? Own a tweed jacket? Wear Hermes ties with little animals on them?

If the answer to any of these is yes, I think there’s no hope. Sorry OP.

I was watching an episode of Frasier from 1994 the other day and they were making fun of his shoes with tassles. 😅

How old is he?

If he is 25 and these are a quirky fashion choice, ignore, they will be gone soon enough.

If he is 50 and has worn them forever, shred them. And possibly him.

He is late 40s (but old beyond his years). Apparently it's a "thing" where the partners at the law firm wear them (I know how wanky that sounds). I feel so gutted. I am tempted to tell him really as given they're still in the box they could be returned.

Honestly..... Could you just get a pair of scissors and cut off those tassels? 🤣
