There are many reasons to be excited for fall: cozy fabrics, roomy silhouettes, copious layers — I’m getting excited just thinking about it. Plus, it’s back-to-school season, and no shoe feels as quintessential to this time of year than the loafer (even if you’re not enrolling this semester).
The versatility of loafers is unrivaled. A chic shoe that effortlessly straddles the line between work and leisure, a loafer is easy to slip on, appropriate for a range of occasions and marries casual ease with refined structure. And while timeless, they’re always being reimagined: Miu Miu reignited fervor for loafers with its chocolate suede styles, while last year was all about bold, chunky details and statement prints. Plus, a recent report by The RealReal found they’re only rising in popularity as “corporation-core” continues to take hold.
Lock in your fall style and step confidently into the season with a perfect pair of loafers from some of our favorite brands.
