It’s prime-time for the good ol’ socks-and-loafers combo. And if you’ve been on the hunt for new loafers, the deal hunters on the Strategist team alerted me to a great pair that’s on sale — at Banana Republic’s outlet store, of all places. The loafers have all the hallmarks of a traditional penny style. You might mistake them for real Weejuns (as seen on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Margot Tenenbaum). And while G.H.Bass’s loafers will set you back $175, Banana Republic Factory’s are going for $40 — originally $125, they’re marked down to $50, and then discounted again at checkout.
