The hottest loafers for men (Photos)

A fine shoe expresses many accomplishments in a man’s life.

For example, a classic loafer with modern touches screams:

‘I’m stylish.’

I’ve experienced the finer things in life.’

And more importantly: ‘I’m no longer a slave to my youth thus have secluded sneakers exclusively for sports.’

The stylish male: He’s like a magnificent peacock in its rarest form, i.e, distinct, charming, and alluring.

If the man in your life hasn’t crossed off any of the above milestones on his Bucket List, take the lead and help him by introducing him to Atelier, an upscale American fashion retailer focused on high-end apparel and accessories for men.

Hand-crafted in Italy with fine Italian hide, the line’s James Bond-inspired slippers are deliciously vintage yet timelessly rugged. “We want you to be able to wear them at the office and the lounge—while still being the best-dressed person in the room,” said designer Michael Amar in regards to his footwear.

Old French meaning ‘a workshop or studio especially of a designer,’ Atelier is in the business of fashioning staples, the type that defines a man’s wardrobe and style. (If the line ever needed a celebrity endorsement, Kourtney Kardashian’s uber stylish baby daddy, Scott Disick would be the perfect fit.)

With a penchant for channeling the past, some might call it, ‘timeless elegance.’ And they’re absolutely right. “The Atelier man appreciates a well-designed garment from years past and sports it with the utmost confidence today,” explained Amar.

Atelier’s appeal lies in its Italian craftsmanship, and its unique blend of incorporating contemporary textile like leather, lambskin, suede, and velvet with modern classics like oxford shirts, loafers, slacks, and blazers. The outcome is a piece of fashion with a hint of edge and elegance.

After traveling to Italy to explore some of the country’s most reputable textile mills and design workshops, Amar settled in a small city within Naples that offered unprecedented craftsmanship.

It’s where he learned the trick-of-the-trade to constructing the ideal shoe from local tailors, i.e., shaping and stitching the textiles to maximize both fit and utility.

Enamored with Atelier? Get into their meticulously fitted oxford shirts, blazers and tailored silhouettes pants, excellent additions to wear with their loafers.

Featured in a collection of hues, and footwear sizes ranging from 5 to 8, pricing starts at $229 to $395, and are available for purchase at www.atelierclothing.com.
