What are your opinions about men that wear loafers with shorts. Is it cool and hip, in fashion, or just out right ridiculous. Are there any rules that should be followed when wearing loafers with shorts.

Men can wear whatever they want and so can I. Isn't that sort of a preppy look? There will always be places that's considered normal.

What else would you wear with shorts, wing-tips? Flip-flops? Strange question, OP. Someone else had a thread on whether it was ok for adult males to wear sandals.

Why are men so afraid to make a choice in footwear?

It depends on how the shorts are stylized, what color they are, the fabric, among others. The same for the shoes. If we are talking about the Sperrys/cargo shorts combination, then that's a look I personally don't like.

It never ever occured to me it could be considered ridiculous or odd. Loafers and summer deck shoes with shorts is the norm for men to me. Perhaps because to me sneakers is footwear to do sports in. Sneakers as normal footwear is odd to me. It never ceases to amaze me that people wear sneakers like shoes including to the theatre, fine dining or the office for some...

I guess it comes from the environment you are brought up and live in perhaps.

As long as they don't wear socks, it's OK to wear them!
