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?

😭😭😭 you know when we were dating and he first wore them, I thought given everything else is good, I will let these pass and deal with it later.

And he does like the 80s.

They could be a contender for first prize in the current 'Wanky things you're guilty of ' thread 😀

They remind me of David Dickinson.

me too.

Are you in the UK? I haven't seen a London law firm partner in shoes like that pretty much ever

Boys at school wore these age 15/16 but this was the 70s...gosh didn't know they were still around.
I know brogues are timeless.. but not tassle loafers .

An American firm in London.

...I'm not in anything legal. Maybe he just made it up to get me to think that's part of the uniform and just accept it 🤔

LTB.

I’ve noticed these a lot on men recently. I don’t like them either. I know it’s looked down upon these days to espouse gender stereotypes but they look like the sort of shoes my 60+ female teachers wore at school in the early 00s! They definitely give off old lady vibes!

Imagine the responses on here if it was the man trying to tell the woman what she couldn't wear.

Young Sheldon wears them

Is divorce an option?

That's so weird. My DH is a partner at one of those (and I used to be until I decided I'd had enough) and no one wears those. Around the office the men mostly seem to wear suede sneakers.

I'm having lunch with a few former colleagues next week. Definitely going to scope out the footwear!

(@citylightsbehindsorry I don't know why but it won't let me delete your name from the post)

He's been wearing them for at least a decade @Teanbiscuits33 💔

I loathe tassels on loafers.

Look harmless to me.

If it makes you feel better @fao, we have a second house and my husband prides himself on not needing to bring any clothes when we go because he has a full wardrobe there... of clothes he's had since university.

So curious about how the posters who said they like the shoes dress. I wonder if their dress sense is similar to DH's...

Are they proper weejuns?

I had to Google that. I don't know. They're from Russell and Bromley if that helps?

I feel so depressed.

He needs to commute in a different pair & keep these pristine in the office!

bit late to tell him now after years of him wearing similar

These , they will last forever. The quality is amazing
