Bow Tied and Starry Eyed writes a heartfelt ode to the tassel loafer—a shoe that's been getting as much love as scorn this summer. They round up a few different styles to try and point out a few gents (like Don Draper and Prince Charles) who pulled them off with ease. Of course, it's not as simple as simply slipping into the grown up shoes. They offer some rules for wearing them with style.

If you are wearing a pair of tassels casually, and look down at your feet, you should be able to see a crescent moon of skin peeking out between the vamp of the shoe and the break of your pants.
