Buying Guide

At a wedding after-party, loafers or dress shoes are the baseline.

We cover the dress code, which height to choose for a standing-style party, how to pair them with a jacket and slacks, and how you will look in group photos, all focused on the after-party.

Get your pant hem length and sock exposure right, and elevator loafers go naturally with slacks and denim alike, adding height while keeping a polished look.
