Are Gucci or Salvatore Ferragamo loafers too much for a summer intern?

Going to be interning this summer at a BB and was thinking of buying loafers for the summer. Any thoughts? If you can provide a picture that would be great too.

likely no one will care but if i saw an intern wearing bit loafers and a bespoke suit (and whatever else you're planning on buying) i'd immediately think one of two things: 1) he blows all of his money on his clothes 2) he might have money / come from a wealthy family

buy a kick ass pair of shoes if that's what you want but honestly there's nothing wrong with johnston & murphy for an SA and cole haan is probably as expensive as i would go

What's a cole haan?

don't act like you didn't come from BO, son

 

Febreeze is interning at my company in a strategy and leadership role. I look forward to you transitioning from a BO role like Flake has.

 

This turning threads into conversations about unrelated shit has to stop.

Buy whatever shoes you want.
