Hey guys! I just got a job in a business casual (more business than casual though) office and I'm looking for some tassel loafers.

Based on my current lineup (please find below, not pictured: Blue Neumoks, Green Strandmoks, Red Dr Martens) -- should I get suede or calfskin tassels? I was looking at the Meermin suede tassels but IDK if the snuff suede is too light and the dark brown too dark haha. I think brown suede is the way to go because almost all my shoes are leather.

Any brand or model that you recommend? I wanted to get the AE Acheson in brown suede with contrast tassels but it appears to be gone:

Also I would prefer to keep it around $250...do you know of any other good brand in suede with contrast tassels? Or should I just get calfskin in dark chilli/oxblood/dark brown?

Thanks for the advice gents!
