The Perfect Loafer, by Donald J Pliner

This season, chuck the sandal for the loafer without socks. An extremely versatile footwear, the loafer can be worn with an elegant suit for the casual chic effect, or with a pair of Bermuda shorts for a long stroll about town. Designed in Italy, the VEEDA model from Donald J Pliner, manufacturer of luxury footwear and accessories since 1989, is quite irresistible.

The soft and silky tan suede, with contrast bright red stitching and sole, gives it a distinct look, while reminding us of the strong seasonal trend: brightly coloured shoes that remain subdued in tone. The silver metal buckle in front, engraved with the brand’s image adds to the chic look. Fear not, the light lining and padded non-slip sole cater to absolute comfort.

This must-have moccasin style shoe, priced at $248 a pair, is also available in fire engine red, navy blue or charcoal gray.
