To find these loafers for men so so awful

[fao]

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?

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

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.

Cut off tassels

I love this style of shoe ....sorry 👞

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.

Oh op they would give me the ick too!

We do have a toddler that is still on very basic communication style.....

I don't mind them.

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

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 can't really picture them on a man's feet though. How does he style them?

Oh they're really awful. I'm laughing at the thought of my husband in those

In fact my Nan used to wear something similar .

LTB

Haha, you beat me to it with the red trousers 😂

He does like Frasier...

Actually I think I used to have a very similar pair from Dubarry as my school shoes circa 1985.

And he is guilty of some of these..

Suits and quarter-zips. The entire outfit is normal except for the ruddy shoes.

I’d swiftly cut the tassels off. Then they’d be semi ok I think

Oh gosh! They're very dated...
they were all the rage when all the posh boarding school boys wore them!

Does he iron his jeans?

Lol it's the kind of thing I can imagine my siblings would think DH might do.

I am not loving how well everyone is matching DH as a person just from a photo of a pair of (ugly ugly ugly) shoes.

Burn them

Is his name Kevin and does he have a tash?

If my DH had turned up to our first date in those it would've been the last!

The 80s want their shoes back. 😵‍💫
