The idea is simple - just wear a suit with loafers.

Rules:
  1. Wear a suit with loafers (ties are optional)
  2. Wear the outfit this week
  3. The challenge would be open for shoes like different types of driving shoes, Belgian slippers, moccasin-type shoes etc. but no side gusset oxfords.
  4. The challenge ends on 14 April at midnight AEST and voting will end two days later.
Inspiration:

What did you have in mind?
Just if the challenge would be open for shoes like different types of driving shoes, Belgian slippers, moccasin-type shoes etc. I belong to the type of people who can appreciate loafers on others, but would never wear them myself. But I do have other types of slip-on shoes.

Yes, those are all fine. Just no side gusset oxfords. I've amended the rules accordingly.

(When you won’t take pictures outside and you won’t wear shoes inside. The table needed a wash anyway)
