Timeless Fashion Advice for Men
Monk Strap (n., adj.)
A type of shoe that has no laces but rather straps and buckles which attach near the ankle.
A monk strap shoe gets its name from being associated with monks who would wear a shoe with a buckle as a shoe offered more protection than a sandal and were easier to remove than a boot.
The monk strap shoe can be treated as a loafer however if of simple design, a monk strap shoe could be worn at casual business events but never at formal events.
