From city street stars to social feed influencers, it’s clear that loafers are having their moment. A solid pair of loafers is a solid support for any outfit. The best loafers for women this season combine classic details, like pony hardware and kilometer laces, with modern updates, like a chunky lug sole or square toe.
While never really out of date – they’re considered classics for good reason – loafers have gained traction (no pun intended) with the rise of both sexist dressing and the latest wave of preppy nostalgia. Case in point: Kendall Jenner recently sported a pair of black patent loafers with flared jeans and a simple gray tank, while Bella Hadid paired her two-tone loafers with ankle socks, a plaid mini skirt and retro jacket. Other famous faces also wearing stylish loafers in recent weeks include Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid.
