How to Wear Loafers Without Socks (And Still Look Sharp)

No-show socks are your secret weapon. Choose breathable, moisture-wicking pairs to keep you comfortable and confident, especially when pairing them with shorts. Stick to lighter shades and airy materials like canvas or perforated leather to stay fresh when temps rise.

How to Clean and Care for Leather Loafers

Don’t let daily wear dull your favorites by keeping your leather and suede loafers looking their best with cedar shoe trees (they fight creasing and odor), a good weatherproofing spray, and a regular rotation system. Bonus tip: Use a suede brush for quick refreshes on the go.
