There’s nothing like a great pair of loafers when it comes to accessorizing for fall. Not only do the shoes resonate with going back to school and the changing of seasons, they’re also a solid in-between choice if you’re not ready to give in to boot season just yet. This fall the classic penny loafer comes with a literal elevated update—think an extra inch (or two!) on the heel. But fret not, the new styles are as reassuringly comfortable as the classics, a nice alternative to trendy mules or traditional knee-high boots. How so, you ask? Well, it’s thanks in part to their chunky, clunky lug soles. The sturdy silhouette lends a grungy look while platforms and block heels offer a charming retro vibe. Wear them alone or with a fresh pair of socks, then pair them with one of the new fall midi-dresses or your go-to pair of jeans, and you’ll be stomping into the new season in style.
