There are few things in the world of fashion more certain than knowing the investment in a pair of properly, painstakingly made John Lobb shoes is going to pay off for years (decades, even). The British shoemaker meticulously crafts every one of these sleek black loafers by hand, ensuring a level of quality unrivaled in the market. All that, plus the dressy-but-not-too-dressy silhouette of their Lopez style here, adds up to a footwear foundation piece that you'll wear all season long (and every one after that).  $1,300, available at Mr Porter
