I'm 49, never had a tassel loafer in my life, never liked them. But, after watching recent cool posts of the Alden on the aberdeen, G&G, and AS handgrades, i think I will re evaluate the situation.

I do not own any tassels, no.  But I am in the market for a loafer.  Can you suggest an entry level tassel loafer?


#8 alden-check my blog for pictures of this tassel

I think you legally have to be over 60 to wear them.

34, have a pair of tan Aldens and a mahogany AE's. I wear them to work sockless with slim fitting chinos, also wear them with slim jeans. Very versatile IMO but they do invite attention, it is not that common to see a thirty-something rocking tassels...

I don't know anyone who wears tassel loafers, I've never had a pair. Probably more of a North American thing.
