i think which one looks better depends a lot on your age. for instance, i'm 22 and wouldnt be caught dead wearing a penny loafer at a bar. let alone anywhere else really.

when i think of a penny loafer, the first thing that comes to my mind is an old man sitting in his office at work. i'd say the plain mocs would be a better choice but in the end it's up to you.

I'd go with the penny loafer, I have the J.Crew version and I love them

For me, the penny loafer invokes images of old men and pleated khakis with the polo shirt tucked in and a braided belt. YMMV.

Yeah,I like the J crew ones as well. for those of you who dont like the penny loafer style;what brand/model do you prefer?

if you like J.Crew, why don't you check our their plain front driving mocs?

Banana Republic also has a tied version. Sounds like a mongrel, but looks okay.
