Loafers

When it comes to shoes with staying power, never doubt the timeless appeal of loafers—many icons in the category, like the Gucci Horsebit, have been around for decades. Worthy of a place alongside fellow capsule nonnegotiables like ballet flats and boots, buttery leather loafers (and their suede or shearling-lined counterparts) will chicly ground everything from straight-leg jeans to dresses that are altogether more fun and feminine.. The good news for minimalists and magpies alike is that there is an array of different styles to shop this season, including scrunched collegiate loafers with a modern academia vibe to zany animal-print flats for those with a more playful point of view. Backless mules will ensure that you’ll never fumble transitional dressing, while lace-up boat shoes and penny loafers topped with megawatt hardware are trending now.
