I frequently get the old man comment when wearing tassel loafers. I like them, and see no problem with a man of your age wearing them too.

Thank you all! I'm very happy about your comments. I am 52, feel like I'm 30, but now with my tassels I'm really 52.

I'm joking.
Thanks again.

It depends on you style. You can make them look old or youthful. I wear these with gray trousers and bold socks. Or with jeans (w/ rolled up cuffs) and bold solid colored socks.

At 52, you may be a little young for tassel loafers. I'd say wait another 15 years
