As I assemble my wardrobe of the best fall style essentials (often from a retailer like Huckberry, of course), I tend to look for unexpected picks that riff on old favorites. For instance, take the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers as shown above.

They do indeed riff on an old favorite, the loafer, while retaining some of the same qualities as the three-eye moc toe boot or chukka. What’s better is they happen to be on sale via the Huckberry Sale section, for a tidy 30 percent discount, but let’s keep on taking a closer look, shall we?

They contain multitudes, as the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers just might have more in common with a loafer or the traditional blucher dress shoe, including an ankle-length height and a lower profile. But look again and that moc-toe stitching stands out handsomely — fall footwear favorites, indeed.

That sort of versatility, combined with a rugged look and feel from the classic Northeast footwear maker, puts these hybrid shoes into a unique category: Heritage footwear with a mix of modern and old-school appeal.

The full leather insole shapes to your foot over time, a nice handcrafted touch, while the tassle detailing adds some old-school appeal. The rich leather will patina handsomely over time, and the camp sole is another personal favorite in terms of comfort and distinctive looks. If you want shoes that can stand up to thicker fall fabrics and textures, the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers could be a wise move, my friends.

And for moccasins that call to mind the 1950s and ’60s, there’s still an instant appeal in terms of casual style. Of course, it certainly doesn’t hurt that the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers are now 30 percent off via our friends at Huckberry. Fall fashion just got even cooler, my friends.

To me, that means the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers wear as well with cozy corduroy pants and a chambray shirt as they do with trusty indigo blue jeans and your favorite henley – they’re chunky enough to stand up to more rugged silhouettes, and unlike some slipper-esque loafers, they’re certainly stylish enough to serve as both house shoes and daily footwear.
