The ballet flat has gotten a lot of heat this year, but let’s not forget about the lovely loafer. You can dress it up to business casual with your favorite trousers, or dress it down with slouchy white denim. From the splurge worthy designer picks to a classic penny loafer, our favorite spring loafers this season provide a pop of color and polish.
The classic, splurge worthy designer pair that never goes out of style? The Gucci Jordaan loafer, complete with the iconic gold horse bit hardware. It’s pricey but when you calculate the cost-per-wear, it can be justified! Valentino’s new loafers have gold chains on the upper too, but it’s a little bit chunkier for a more substantial silhouette.
But you absolutely do not have to spend a ton of money to get a good look. G.H. Bass has been making loafers for ages, and they still do it well. I love their standard black loafer with tassels for a little extra pizzaz. Margaux’s the Penny in a pale pink shade is so comfortable and adds some femme vibes to the shoe. I love these super sleek Patricia Green loafers that look more like fancy slippers in a subdued gold shade.
Maybe you already have your standard pair of black loafer. The trend this season is color, and shoes are a great way to introduce a little bit. The practical shape of a loafers lets you play around with maximalist tendencies, like these all-gold metallic Valentinos , these baby blue suede M.Gemis, or these studded Stuart Weitzman shoes with a little bit of heft in the sole for added height. The new Tory Burch continues to impress with these woven leather loafers in dark blue and cream. It’s a whole lotta look for the price.
