Why choose men’s black loafers?

How to wear your men’s black loafers

For the office: Pair your loafers with gray wool trousers, a white shirt, and a blazer for a refined, professional outfit.

Casual-chic style: Wear them with raw jeans and a beige or navy sweater for a perfectly balanced weekend look.

Special occasions: Combine your black loafers with a burgundy or charcoal suit for a sophisticated, modern silhouette.

Caring for your loafers

To maintain their shine, regularly clean the leather with a soft brush. Use a nourishing cream to preserve suppleness and apply a polishing cream to revive their luster. We strongly recommend storing them with cedar shoe trees to maintain their shape and reduce walking creases over time.

The black moccasin is often the first fine laceless shoe in a man's wardrobe. The questions are which model to choose, what to wear it with and how to keep its shine. Here is our shoemaker's advice, from the office to the big occasions.

Why choose a black moccasin for men?

A black moccasin is the safest choice for anyone who wants a single pair of men's moccasins able to go with a suit as well as a casual outfit. Black remains the most formal colour in the men's wardrobe: it goes with grey, navy and white, and remains appropriate at a wedding, an interview or an evening out. Our men's moccasins also come in brown and suede, but it is in black that the moccasin looks its dressiest.

The colour of dark suits

With a charcoal grey or midnight blue suit, a black shoe extends the line of the trousers and lengthens the silhouette. Brown, warmer, keeps a more relaxed connotation.

A shoe that entered stage legend

The black moccasin also has its share of legend. In his first televised moonwalk, Michael Jackson glided across the stage in black moccasins, worn with white socks. For the history of the most famous model in the family, our article the penny loafer, a mythical shoe goes back over its origins.

Penny loafer or black tassel moccasin: which should you choose?

In black, the penny loafer is the most versatile, the tassel moccasin the dressiest; the sole, leather or rubber, then decides on everyday use.

Étienne and Paul, two penny loafers

Étienne in black full-grain calf on a leather sole is the companion of office outfits. Its version in black grained leather, mounted on a robust stitched commando sole, suits rainy days and long walks. Paul, more curved, keeps a slim line that slips under a narrow trouser, with or without socks.

Adrien, for the big occasions

Adrien has two handmade tassels on a black full-grain calf. It is the most elegant of our black moccasins: it is among the men's wedding shoes, for a dinner or a ceremony, with a dark suit.

How to wear a black moccasin?

A black moccasin is worn with cool and neutral colours: grey, navy, black and white. With beige, khaki or earth tones, a brown moccasin will often look more natural.

At the office, with a suit

With a grey or navy suit, a white shirt and a dark tie, the black penny loafer on a leather sole easily replaces an Oxford. We suggest fine socks matching the trousers, which extend the leg down to the shoe.

At the weekend, with jeans

With raw or black denim jeans, an oxford shirt and a crew-neck jumper, grained leather brings just the right dose of relaxation.

How to keep a black moccasin shining?

A black moccasin keeps its shine with a few simple steps: a wooden shoe tree after every wear, a tinted cream from time to time, a polish for occasions.

1. Slip cedar shoe trees into your moccasins as soon as you take them off, to absorb moisture and soften walking creases.
2. Dust the leather with a horsehair brush.
3. Nourish it with our black nourishing cream, which also revives scuffs on the toe.

Finding the right size

At In Corio, the fit is identical from one model to another: take your usual size. A moccasin should hold the heel without squeezing it; if in doubt between two sizes, choose the larger. Our shoes are made in family workshops in the Porto region, with leathers from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group.

Frequently asked questions about men's black moccasins

Which colour of moccasin should a man choose?

For a first pair, black covers the greatest number of situations: office, suit, ceremony, evening. Chocolate brown comes second, for more relaxed outfits and warm colours. Suede then completes the wardrobe for weekends and sunny days.

Which moccasins do not hurt your feet?

A comfortable moccasin combines a supple leather, a flexible stitched construction and cushioning under the sole. Our models combine a full-grain calf, a Blake construction and a high-density latex foam under the leather insole, which avoids the painful breaking-in of the first days.

Can you wear black moccasins with socks?

Yes. In dressy outfits, fine socks, black, grey or navy depending on the trousers, remain essential. In light outfits, the black moccasin is worn with an invisible sock or barefoot, all the more pleasantly as the insole is leather.

In summary

The black moccasin is the dressiest, most versatile and most timeless of men's moccasins. Smooth calf serves the suit and ceremonies, grained leather on a commando sole everyday town wear. With a Blake construction and latex cushioning, our black moccasins are comfortable to wear from the first day.
