Are these nice shoes? Would you wear them?

[Bluebluered]

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

That's quite a big departure from moccasins OP. I think the black lace ups are going to produce less judgement

Would they be a bit hot for summer? The black ones.

What occasion are the shoes for? What's your budget? What sort of things do you normally wear? (shapes/colours/materials/brands etc)

Lack ones are much better - others were hideous😂. Sorry 😐

😆, I’m just trying to get a new job work wardrobe together. I’m new to this because I’ve ever only worked in a lab with a white coat on. This is my first job where my clothes will be on display and if my shoes don’t match I’ll look odd. I usually wear trainers and canvas shoes which isn’t really helpful! So black shoes are better 😂

Blueblured I really like the second pair, but the first pair definitely not.

I wouldn’t wear them AND i’d Judge you for wearing them
But only secretly

I think they're quite cute...

If you wanted something with a bit of embellishment how about

Clarks have some decent smart/flat options too

I don’t think I want embellished shoes now. I’ll stay with the safe shoes 😂😂

OP the black ones are just fine and much more modern in look.

What type of clothes are you planning to wear to work. The black ones are fine, but a bit more casual than I could ever get away with in work.

What about Moshulu? These for example?

Yes I was going to say Swedish folk costume, like their Crown Princess wears on the national holiday.

Swedish National Costume shoes are even worse!

I wouldn't wear them if they were the last pair of shoes on the planet! 😂

😂🤣, thank goodness I asked on here first.

You're ricocheting from one style to another, so it's hard to decipher what you're aiming for!

Fitflops do a comfy ballet flat that won't hurt your eyeballs and will be like walking on clouds all day.

What are your usual fashion choices op? What will you be wearing them with?

I like trainers and I like ankle boots, I don’t like heels of any kind, but a small wedge or thick sole is fine. I also like canvas shoes and flatish espadrilles. For the winter I love my brown doc martins and mid length boots. I’ll probably be wearing skinny trousers or culottes and baggy shirts. I don’t think it’s super smart, but casual smart, so no jeans but no blazers/jackets either.

Ankle boots and a dress might be a good look for you then. My work is business’s casual and this look is easy.

I think the black shoes you posted would be perfect

I know people either love or hate Boden - but just as an illustration

I have these boots - wear them with dresses to work all the time

Of course these have a bit of a heel - but you could go flatter

That's a gorgeous look Dippy, I'd wear that whole outfit!

Thanks dippy, that does look very nice. I’d probably prefer tights and a looser dress but I can see what you mean
