Leather Moccasins in Business Casual Environment?

[ATL_Accountant]

Good evening,

I just have a general question related to a business casual environment. To provide a little background, I work at a public accounting firm that utilizes a business casual dress code. I work in the tax department, so I am not at a client’s office on a regular basis. I have a formal pair of shoes in the office for when I meet with clients. For the sake of this question, I am just focusing on business casual. My firm let’s us wear jeans, polos, and is fairly casual. I see some people wear various suede shoes and loafers.

We have a dress code that specifically states to not wear moccasins; however, I think of that as being related to moccasin slippers and non-leather moccasins. I have a pair of leather Minnetonka moccasins that I just purchased (see picture). Do you think that these moccasins are business casual appropriate or do you think that I should avoid wearing them to the office?

All advice is greatly appreciated!

Those strike me as too casual for an office, but I suppose a lot of things are passable nowadays. I don't think you'd be sent home for them, but I think you'd do better in a pair of penny loafers, if you want to do slip ons.

I think u should avoid wearing them to the office.. these are a bit too casual.. they fall in the category of boat shoes.

they would look great on the weekend on a boat paired with some shorts and no show socks ...
