From the history of creation
It is believed that moccasins gained their popularity thanks to the North American Indians. At that time, the main material from which these shoes were sewn was leather. Later, Europeans perfected moccasins and began to use coarser rawhide to make the sole, which helped protect their feet from damage by stones or thorns. The winter version of this shoe was made of hides with wool.
Loafers owe their popularity today to Mr. Mostile. In the 60s, he created a rubberized sole for this shoe, and later it became indispensable for motorists. The sole of modern moccasins can be rubber, leather or rubber. Some models are characterized by a small heel. A mandatory element of this shoe is a tongue surrounded by a seam.
Often it is decorated with fringe, tassels or jumpers. Some moccasins have laces that help the shoe sit more tightly.
Men's loafers. What to wear?
Men's moccasins are considered stylish, fashionable and at the same time comfortable shoes.
Unlike sports and classic shoes, which are not combined with every style, they are suitable for walking in the park, and for working in the office. What are men's loafers? What to wear with these shoes to stay stylish and attractive? To do this, remember a few simple rules.
1) Moccasins are informal shoes. Therefore, they should not be worn under a classic suit, tuxedo or dress coat. If you still wear moccasins under a strict office suit, choose shoes in restrained colors.
2) If you wear beach shorts, sweatpants or jogger pants, then it is better to refuse moccasins. The same applies to hoodies.
3) Moccasins are created for the warm season. Therefore, the combination of warm clothes and moccasins is highly undesirable.
4) Moccasins are the best suited for jeans and linen pants. And if you twist the jeans, while opening the ankle area, you can give your image even more elegance.
5) Lovers of cropped trousers and denim shorts can safely wear these shoes.
6) The male version of moccasins should be worn without socks, especially with shorts and cropped trousers. As for the latter, if the option without socks seems unacceptable to you, get short socks. But do not forget that this item of clothing should not be visible, and the color of the socks must be selected to match the color of the trousers.

Women's moccasins are also quite popular. They fit both trousers and sporty-style skirts. These shoes are usually worn in the summer, although dry autumn weather is also considered to be favorable for wearing moccasins (but only if you wear a denim jacket or windbreaker, but in no case a coat). This shoe matches perfectly with skinny jeans or breeches. They are also suitable for tracksuits, trouser skirts and long skirts. Moccasins with summer sundresses look elegant. Dress pants if you wear a man’s shirt. What doesn't go well with moccasins are leggings and leggings. But a short flared skirt in combination with such shoes is a win-win option. The image is perfectly complemented by a short jeans or leather jacket, vest or turtleneck.

What to wear such shoes with? It all depends on what style of shoes you prefer: classic or semi-athletic. Blue shoes are usually chosen for sports-style clothing, although red looks much more interesting.
And if you wear red jeans or cotton pants and a top in contrasting color, you will look stylish and fashionable.
