I’m looking for some nice embroidered loafers for work. Are these appropriate for a 36 year old?

Im 37 and wouldn't wear them. Sorry!

PurpleDaisies · 26/05/2019 10:09

I’d wear them for work but I’m a primary school teacher.

Lauren83 · 26/05/2019 10:10

I'm not keen as they aren't my style at all but if you like them go for it,

Is that some sort of disclaimer??

OP, I’m a primary school teacher and I wouldn’t wear them Grin.

DameDoom · 26/05/2019 10:11

I wouldn't wear them personally but if you like them, go for it.

BlackHillsofDakota · 26/05/2019 10:12

I'm 40 and I wouldn't touch them, sorry!

MayFayner · 26/05/2019 10:12

No and no.

whatswithtodaytoday · 26/05/2019 10:13

I'm 37, they're not really my style but I don't hate them. If they're comfy and you like them, wear them.

Bluebluered · 26/05/2019 10:13

Grin ok not these then. I wasn’t sure if I liked them.

I like them. Bit more interesting than most people's shoes. Where what you like!

Bluebluered · 26/05/2019 10:14

Can anyone post something similar but acceptable?

Why are you looking for embroidered loafers in particular, out or interest?

DameDoom · 26/05/2019 10:16

fedup21 Grin primary teacher too. I do think my opinionated Y6s would have ermm strong opinions if I wore them. They are quite the judgemental fashionistas - I have been on the receiving end of their sartorial scorn many a time.

Bluebluered · 26/05/2019 10:17

I saw someone wearing some really amazing loafers that were embroidered and they told me they were from Sainsbury’s. I can’t find anything similar

I’m 50 and I wouldn’t wear them. Not suggesting i’m A fashion icon, and I have started looking at shoes and thinking “ooh, they look comfy” but I remind myself i’m 50 not drawing my pension.

I think for me it is the combination of both the embroidered flowers and the seam

Kanga83 · 26/05/2019 10:19

Im 36 and love them! With a pair of dark jeans and top they would be great for summer and holidays. Where are they from?

Acceptable to whom? You must always wear what you like OP.

MyBlueMoonbeam · 26/05/2019 10:20

I just Googled "embroidered womens loafers" there are hundreds but they all look like slippers to me 😆

Bluebluered · 26/05/2019 10:21

They’re on amazon kanga ☺️

No. It's the seam rather than the flowers that bother me.

I'm not a primary teacher.Wink

LoafofSellotape · 26/05/2019 10:23

Oh Good Lord,are we going to have yet another ageist thread about people not wearing shoes because old people might wear them?Hmm

It's perfectly ok to say they look horrible or you love them but your age shouldn't be a factor in choosing a pair of shoes.

OP, personally I think they're horrible because I cant wear pumps so they look uncomfortable to me,but if you like them bugger anyone else!

PurpleDaisies · 26/05/2019 10:23

I just mean that’s it’s quite an informal workplace. Not sure why everyone’s got so snarky. Confused

MyBlueMoonbeam · 26/05/2019 10:23

Agree with PP wear what you like OP 😊

DameDoom · 26/05/2019 10:24

www.bobbies.com/en/118665-loafers-ballet-flats-slippers-in-leather there are a multitude of lovely loafers here. I think it was Ohtheroses who suggested them on another thread. I am eagerly awaiting my delivery.
