A favoured Summer casual style by Barker is the Men’s loafer available in several designs including the Penny Loafer, Tassel Loafer and Horsebit Loafer as part of the Barker Spring / Summer 2021 collection. The history of the loafer dates back to 1847 where a London-based bespoke shoe company called Wildsmith Shoes were tasked with designing a casual house shoe for King George VI.
The modern loafer has seen ongoing development in design, construction and materials used but the traditional styling of the classic handmade loafer will always remain a wardrobe staple. When considering to buy loafers online there’s several styles that will never fail which includes the Penny Loafer's and Tassel loafers for men.
