Wore Ferragamo loafers as an analyst - picked up another pair recently (also Ferragamo) - I'd say it's OK for analysts, but probably pushing it for SAs. Also the rest of your outfit has to match it - wearing $500 'gamo loafers with an ill-fitting shirt and a Timex watch just looks strange - to be clear, I'm not saying you need to go out and buy a Patek and get all your shirts custom, but you get my drift.

 

Depends on the bank/group. No one wants to be that guy who always looks like a scrub if your MD is anal about these things.

I wore loafers but always kept a pair of regular lace-ups under my desk... actually most of the time people in my group didn't wear shoes while working. But if your group is formal (but really, what group on the street is formal nowadays?), then I'd steer clear of loafers.

 

doesnt really matter. i just recommend that your first few days on the floor pay attention to what shoes people wear (mostly 2nd years and above) and emulate that.

the loafers you showed above are fine

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.
 

I am not scheduled to begin until the summer, however, just have a feeling that wearing Ferragamo and Gucci loafers as an analyst is akin to french cuffs – age and status inappropriate. And I say this as someone who loves horsebit loafers. Is my intuition wrong here? Realize the OP's loafers are not flashy at all BTW.

Well, loafers are the new in thing my friend, I mean for casual wearing you cannot choose a better option, you can pick something that gives of a semi casual look and you can get away with wearing them even to some not so important formal dinners at least I do :) You should totally get yourself a pair.

Either no one cares or they like nice shoes and will like them.

Rock both the Gucci Horsebit loafer and AE Verona at my job

I have a pair of gucci horse bit loafers that has worn well over the years...i am not big on "shoe bling" but I think they qualify as pretty classic. I would not however wear any loafers with a suit to a job in banking that is busness formal...loafers are casual shoes. Cole Haan is a good choice if you want to spend a bit less...shoot out to the outlets and you can get good pairs of Cole Haan very cheap and some have some good styling. Stay away from tassle loafers.
