I like loafers - I'll even wear 'em with a suit - just not the ones you posted.
However, I do not like the loafers that you posted.
Not a fan of the horse bit loafer.

Do you have any recommendations for loafers that would go better with dress pants? I'm new to this

Also, I'm in my early 20s so I thought tassel loafers might be a bit strange

Consider the Alden full strap loafers.

Would something like this be better?

I've tried on more "classic" penny loafers like the alden full strap and AE waldens, but they feel incredibly stiff and uncomfortable so I looked around for some "softer" leather
Not a fan of the horse bit loafer.
How about these? Or are you saying I should stay away from horse bit loafers in general?

^I always run searches, but not every question has been answered or there might have been very few responses to a particular question

Even if I did repeat a question that has been answered in another thread, I don't see what the big deal is. Most of the questions I ask do not have a right or wrong answer, which means it never hurts to get more responses. If you don't feel like answering, then just ignore the question. Why waste your time posting something like that?

^^Because you can ask this sort of question in the pinned ask a question get an answer. If you don't wear loafers with dress pants, what else are you suppose to wear them with? Jeans and cotton pants only? BTW, the ones you posted, besides the Santoni's, are ugly.
