    If you can’t afford socks, I’ll send some.

  2. Kevin Green on April 3, 2020 at 7:18 pm

    so if you want to spend 300.00 on some loafers here a go… i guess i see who your channel is for… certainty isnt me

  3. Said Hasibullah Sadat on April 3, 2020 at 7:18 pm

    Should u wear socks with loafers and chinos ?

  4. DaRio LUXURY GROUP on April 3, 2020 at 7:20 pm

    Duke and Dexter loafers. the best.

  5. Ryu Arisandy on April 3, 2020 at 7:21 pm

    Horsebit are too more grandpa.

  6. CH Lim on April 3, 2020 at 7:21 pm

    What kind of Asian is Ashley?

  7. Alex Chu on April 3, 2020 at 7:21 pm

    What are your thoughts on the Belgian loafers? I heard they are getting hyped in the sartorial world

  8. Andrew Antonazzo on April 3, 2020 at 7:24 pm

    My goodness, people please don’t waste your money on Ferragamo or Prada shoes. They are brands not shoemakers. You’re paying a high price for not high quality. If you’re going to spend that kind of money get them from a real shoemaker like Carmina or Carlos Santos (my 2 favs).

  9. Harja7 on April 3, 2020 at 7:25 pm

    What on earth? Why is he wearing shoes inside?

  10. I A, J on April 3, 2020 at 7:26 pm

    I’ve always watched your videos. Very surprised you guys put boat shoes on your list!

  11. Pudekz51790 on April 3, 2020 at 7:26 pm

    What do you think of a midnight suede color? Can it be match on any color or type of pants/shorts?

  12. Dictator Caesar on April 3, 2020 at 7:27 pm

    Boat shoes aren’t loafers and driving mocs aren’t loafers either.

  13. Nate Cole on April 3, 2020 at 7:30 pm

    men will always wear what many women disagree with because of the manliness in them…..men like timberland boots,caterpillar work boots,cargo pants etc……the character of one is not in the clothes but the heart….am not against looking sharp but we as humans cant be caught up in looks assuming one is good or bad

  14. Dennis Salonga on April 3, 2020 at 7:31 pm

    Other than no show socks, would you allow men to wear regular socks with driving shoes? If so, what occassion/s would that be?

  15. Afif Nabawi on April 3, 2020 at 7:32 pm

    Boat shoes arent stylish at all 🙁
    tassel and horsebit all the way!

    Why so strict on style ashley? Why not embracing individuality?

  16. Selim Enes Altuntaş on April 3, 2020 at 7:35 pm

    Has to have boat shoes but not tassel loafers? SMH

  17. preppychrisbou on April 3, 2020 at 7:36 pm

    I love tassel loafers and my wife loves them too.

  18. Carlos Garcia on April 3, 2020 at 7:39 pm

    For anyone claiming to know fashion to recommend driving Mocs, ridiculous… bad taste🤷‍♂️

  19. Low N Slow on April 3, 2020 at 7:39 pm

    Boat shoes are (assuming you don’t actually have a boat) for old men or guys who have zero imagination. Driving mocs are totally impractical, and look tatty after a very short period of outdoor wear. Penny loafers look too dressy with jeans, so which means they’re a limited.

    IMHO, the best all-rounder is a suede loafer with a then leather sole, minimal detailing, and no snaffle or tassles. You can wear them with jeans, chinos, a suit etc.

  20. ApointB on April 3, 2020 at 7:42 pm

    But… I feel like loafers are like old people’s shoes, oddly looking and seem like expensive slippers

  21. Stacey Raven on April 3, 2020 at 7:46 pm

    It’s interesting to watch these videos from Britain and compare as any British man with real style wouldn’t be seen dead in any of the these.

  22. HADDAD JORDAN .1 on April 3, 2020 at 7:47 pm

    So you’re not a fan of tassel loafers, but you favor boat shoes?? Ugh!

  23. Steve Jones on April 3, 2020 at 7:48 pm

    I’m anxious how anyone from America can recommend anything to do with shoes, or style in general….,
    Your trousers always have too much material, your shoes are a disgrace, and if I see another chino and polo shirt combo I’ll kill myself !

  24. Sean Martin on April 3, 2020 at 7:50 pm

    Very informative video. I definitely need to get some driving mocs. Penny Loafers always seemed like little kid shoes to me, but I guess that’s clearly just me! You lost me with the green, but I will stick with the main suggested colors. Which watch is Dorian wearing in this video? It looks pretty good.

  25. Erick Johnson on April 3, 2020 at 7:51 pm

    So So-cal. I have a small vomit in my mouth.

  26. KnoxTN Yankee on April 3, 2020 at 7:51 pm

    Oxblood is first pair you get-I went prep school

  27. Runner Up on April 3, 2020 at 7:57 pm

    Love all your videos @AwXInc, this advice and etiquette of dressing correctly is hard to find. Your videos are concise, to the point, clear and helpful!

  28. BBD Design on April 3, 2020 at 7:58 pm

    Nope. Unless you want to look like an old man or a Connecticut douche bag. It’s 2019 Ashley and Dorian.

  29. Minstrel Flow on April 3, 2020 at 7:58 pm

    He seems like a great partner and equal…..he’ll get along great with her boyfriend!

  30. Björn Follin on April 3, 2020 at 7:59 pm

    You guys are aware that neither driving mocs or boat shoes are loafers?

  31. Ryu Arisandy on April 3, 2020 at 8:00 pm

    What about tasseled Loafer?

  32. John Yee on April 3, 2020 at 8:01 pm

    Are your recommendations age specific or any age group can wear them? Thanks

  33. Bill Barner on April 3, 2020 at 8:02 pm

    The jingle-jangle of the horse-bit does not mean it’s a cheap loafer. I have a pair of Gucci horse-but loafers and they make noise. Sounds like cowboy boots with spurs when I walk!

  34. Kaffir on April 3, 2020 at 8:03 pm

    Carshoe is better than Tods, quality-wise.

  35. Freddie V on April 3, 2020 at 8:04 pm

    I call venetian loafers…"pope shoes"! 👞

  36. Rehan Yusuf on April 3, 2020 at 8:06 pm

    I think that driving mocks with a full sole are much more comfortable. The nubs are only for show and aesthetics and when it comes to shoes, comfort is most important. My 2 cents.

  37. Robert Valle on April 3, 2020 at 8:06 pm

    I like your videos, but you lost me at Boat shoes on this one. YUCK! Keep them coming though.

  38. Michael L on April 3, 2020 at 8:06 pm

    🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

  39. Courtland Reyes on April 3, 2020 at 8:07 pm

    Can we use socks still? It’s kinda weird wearing a shoe without socks 0.o

  40. gilbs72 on April 3, 2020 at 8:07 pm

    Even Gucci iconic 1953 loafers have a subtle clinking sound!

  41. JJ Ku on April 3, 2020 at 8:10 pm

    Freakin…Freakin…

  42. Lil Dune Buggy on April 3, 2020 at 8:10 pm

    Boat shoes are the most hideous shoes known.

  43. olivewreath 01 on April 3, 2020 at 8:11 pm

    It kinda seems he tries to find approval from her for his opinions…? Maybe its just me, almost same taste in loafers though

  44. Stephen C. on April 3, 2020 at 8:12 pm

    just picked up a pair of black steve madden penny loafers at burlington for 284 VERY comfortable and not a bad choice peace all

  45. Chazz Ram on April 3, 2020 at 8:12 pm

    Penny loafers will do…thanx but no thanx….

  46. theblondebomber on April 3, 2020 at 8:12 pm

    Don’t know if you read comments on older videos — but here’s my question. I’m tempted to replace my navy suede derby shoes. These have been my dressy business casual go-to for the summer. Thoughts?

  47. Furious Styles on April 3, 2020 at 8:15 pm

    The tassel loafer is about personality and attitude. It’s not for everyone. A nice well made tassel loafer is solid for a rooftop day party. A black penny loafer should be banished from existence. UNLESS it has a non boxy toe and premium leather.

  48. Brandon Key on April 3, 2020 at 8:17 pm

    These people probably don’t even know what Belgian loafers are, because they’re great.

  49. preppychrisbou on April 3, 2020 at 8:18 pm

    Well even Gucci horsebit loafers will make sounds when walking so yeah, that’s part of the fun.

  50. Justin Ng on April 3, 2020 at 8:18 pm

    What about the best non-slip no-show socks?
