The iconic loafer by John Lobb. First introduced in 1950, it features a neat saddle and a hand stitched apron, remaining a favourite through the generations due to its timeless style and impeccable quality of construction.
A lowkey and well-balanced loafer, the Lopez is versatile enough to wear with a variety of outfits. Because it doesn’t have the too-thick, too-rounded shape of many other loafers, it plays well with a suit. And at the same time, it isn’t too narrow or too pointy, so it also looks great with jeans or chinos. The important thing is to get the proportions right. Ideally the bottom of your pants – whether cuffed or not – should just meet your shoe.
A final question to resolve is whether it’s OK to wear the Lopez without socks? In summer, yes. Even with a suit? Well, fortune favours the brave.
