The loafer may have started life in the study, but it’s long since made the leap onto city pavements. For summer 2025, Zegna reintroduces the silhouette with a sharper accent, meet the Mocassin, a new signature style that brings Italian precision to a relaxed summer rhythm.
Borrowing its name from the Piedmontese dialect, the Mocassin is crafted from ultra-supple leather, its construction as considered as a tailored suit. The design speaks in quiet volumes – clean lines, sculpted contours and just enough structure to hold its shape without interrupting its ease. It’s a shoe made to move, between places, generations and occasions.
Rooted in the spirit of Italian craftsmanship, the Mocassin carries a certain nonchalance, the kind you’d find strolling cobbled streets after an espresso or slipping out of a vintage convertible at dusk. It pairs naturally with Zegna’s Oasi Lino wardrobe, rounding off soft tailoring or breezy layers with the same confidence.
This season, it takes centre stage in Zegna’s latest campaign, fronted by brand ambassador Mads Mikkelsen and set against the warm patina of an Italian town. Whether sported in rich tobacco, deep black or sun-worn suede, the Mocassin balances tone and texture with subtle assurance. This is a loafer that doesn’t overstate its purpose yet earns its place in every shoe rotation. The Zegna Mocassin is available online here and in selected stores.
