It's business attire at the office, but so far I've been able to get by with loafers instead of typical dress shoes like every one else. As long as I shine them, they seem to look dressy enough for me. I'm wondering if it's a matter of time before I get reminded of the dress code. Anyone else do the same? I'm referring to the boat style loafers with laces, not the slip-ons. Thanks again.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Yeah, you have to be at least 45 years old to pull that off. And that's only if you accompany your shoes with Jordache jeans and a Members Only jacket.

    I thought they required beige shorts and white knee-high sport socks?

    in scotland it is perfectly legal to kill someone wearing that get-up using only a slice of burned toast. :)

    Even if their pink-hued sweater is tied around their shoulders?

    I would advise against wearing loafers ANYWHERE.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    it doesnt matter what colour it is... if they tie a sweater around their necks its perfectly legal in Scotland to kill them using any means you wish... preferably a slow painful death.. like suffocation using a loafer shoved into the mouth :)

    Good ol' Sperrys.
    Darker the better, but despite our hilarious teasing I'd go for comfort over look too. I dunno if I'd go with a deck shoe, but I understand.

    I think if you actually wear them on boats you're exempted from ridicule. Or if you're over 45. :)

    Not sure what's worse your boating loafer's or nursing shoes...
    If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.

    They are really bad.
