Loafers give me that excited back-to-school feeling. Although these days, I’m wearing them with my favorite jeans as opposed to a pleated uniform skirt. Loafers can be preppy, casual, formal, punk, ladylike – whatever you want them to be! Below, 30 pairs of really good fall loafers.
When I think of a classic loafer, I think of something sleek and black. In fact, I think of this pair: the Gucci Jordaan loafer. It has everything! The silver horsebit hardware, a timeless shape, and sleek lines that skew a little more formal than not. Yes, they’re a splurge – but one that is worth it!!! You don’t have to break the bank to get this look, though. These crocodile loafers from J.Crew or these Margaux loafers have the same minimalist lines.
A penny loafer is as classic (and as lucky) as it gets! I’m eyeing these two-tone white and tan loafers from Jack Rogers right now. I think they’re the perfect transitional shoe as a I patiently wait for the temperatures to drop in LA. But it also comes in a fun blue suede that would make Elvis proud. But if you’re looking for something black, look no further than these Sabago shoes. I love the ruching around the uppers for that perfectly pinched look. All you need to do is slide a penny in and you’re ready to go.
Suede is having a moment this year, I think. On the pricier end of the spectrum, these Gianvito Rossi’s continue the suede vibe with these chocolate brown shoes that look good enough to eat. Veronica Beard’s espresso loafers clock in at $350, a much friendlier price point. Or really make a statement with these red hot chili colored M.GEMI shoes.
