Is this loafer formal or casual?

It is casual. The suede upper and matte finish suit chinos, denim and relaxed outfits, not suits or dress codes.

Can I wear suede loafers in the rain?

No. Suede absorbs water and stains, so keep these for dry days and treat them with a suede protector before first wear.

Brush with a soft suede brush once dry, use a suede eraser on marks, and avoid soaking the shoe. Store with shoe trees to hold the shape.

You can wear them with no-show socks or thin socks. Barefoot wear is common with loafers but speeds up wear inside the shoe.

It adds durability and shape at the front of the shoe, where loafers tend to scuff first.
