While you may still associate loafers with the shoe of choice for more formal occasions, the classic design is now a staple in elevating the everyday. Paired with wide or straight leg jeans and ribbed socks, loafers are an accessible way to instantly seem more fashion forward. For us, the classic style will always be at the top of the must-have list, but that doesn’t mean you can’t explore chunkier silhouettes with bold materials or even colour-blocked panels.
