Coffee Break

Accessories for your suits and other office wear.

  • Coffee Break: Bayville Loafer

    This shoe has a ton of great reviews at Zappos — the consensus is that they are comfortable and don’t really require breaking in — and to me it looks like a much more affordable version of the very popular Gucci loafer that’s super in right now.
