I don't think any of the leather loops look feminine. Of course, they're all pretty understated, so I wouldn't worry too much about it and just get what you want. (I'm surprised how many men are getting the Milanese loop, which to my eyes is very feminine.) I got the modern buckle, and I would have even if the leather loop were available in 38mm. The modern buckle just looks dressier. And after playing around with it in-store, I think I definitely made the right choice. The leather loop is fine if you want something adjustable and easy but it's not as soft; you can definitely feel the magnets.

Okay...i'm going with blue leather loop and the pink modern buckle for my wife.
