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?

Can you not lure him to Zegna for a suit and John Lobb for a pair of shoes? He'll feel like a new man.

Because I'm getting Brooks Brothers circa 1990 vibes right now, which is not a good thing

Edited

Don’t send him to Lobb, he could end up with these.

Yeah they are awful, they look like women's shoes, if a guy showed up on a date wearing them, I would be totally put off.

I didn't mind these when my husband wore them FORTY years ago! 😂 Have they come back into fashion?

I had a burgundy pair of those for school in 1983.

Out of interest I looked on the tube today to see if could spot any. There was one lady with a pair with tassels so long they almost reached the end of the shoes. Also 4 men in blue suits who seemed likely candidates but they all had brown loafers on.

I remember these from the 80's

TossedSaladandSE · 20/09/2024 21:53

I could not ever shag a man who wore those

Not even back in the 80's

DH has these waiting for his current shoes to wear through.

I’m bewildered at his ability to source such fugliness.

Oh Jesus, they're VILE! 😬 Suddenly the tasselled loafers seem like a thing of beauty! 😂

Whelp the good news is that the ladies aren’t throwing themselves at him wearing those. 🤣

And thank for the unlocked memory of my dad in 1980 wearing those along with creased and pleated brown trousers

I showed DH the thread. He was amused and surprised and didn't realise how offensive I had found the shoes. He said it was more of a comfort thing really. He didn't quite say what the next step was but I am quietly positive.

A truly novel take on the piss catcher
