The billionaire set has at least one thing in common, besides seven- and eight-figure pastimes like biohacking and private aviation—they’re all wearing the same suede loafers from Loro Piana. For winter, it’s the Open Walk boot ($1,095); for warmer weather, the traditional silhouette of the Summer Walk ($930) will do nicely. But regardless of season, for heaven’s sake they should be in earth-toned colors (avoid the yellow!) and paired with a zippered sweater from the same Italian fashion house. In cashmere, please.
As for who does it best? Jean Arnault, the director of marketing and development for LVMH watches (and the 24-year-old son of the richest person on the planet). He is often photographed in the look when both on and off the clock. In Los Angeles, everyone from Warner Bros. Discovery C.E.O. David Zaslav and Activision chief Bobby Kotick wear them. They have also been spotted on Stavros Niarchos, Larry Gagosian, Gerry Cardinale, and, less illustriously, Anthony Scaramucci.
