7 Pairs of Loafers That Were Made to Complete All Your Fall Outfits

It’s not news that loafers are the It shoe style this year. We saw them on bare legs last summer and continue to see them as everyone bundles up for the approaching winter. The fashion set has been coveting lug-sole shoes for quite some time, and loafers carry them so well. Lug soles give the preppy shoes an edgy feel while still evoking that traditional vibe they’re known for. From there, the options in loafer styling are limitless: classic, suede, or patent leathers come in shades from black to olive to khaki, with adornments such as metal motifs, tassels, shearling, and more. I love the way they look with tube socks and plaid miniskirts, classic blue denim, and wide-leg trousers. There’s no wrong way to style them, and you know when you wear them that your outfit will look effortlessly casual and chic at the same time. If you don’t have a pair yet, I’m sure you feel like you’re missing something when you get dressed these days. Rest assured: I have the best on the market for you below.

The two-tone effect from the brown lug sole and black patent leather makes these loafers so unique. They’ll look so cute with plaid shackets or wool miniskirts.

Perhaps you want to keep things more classic with a black lug sole and burgundy leather. I wouldn’t blame you.

Shearling footwear is the most unexpected trend, especially on loafers. Count me in.

The tassel detail gives these loafers such a masculine feel, especially with the traditional sole. I can’t wait to wear these with some trendy trousers.

I’m a huge fan of Vagabond Shoemakers. The brand’s shoes are hard to wear down, and they’re so subtle, they never go out of style.

Everything in your closet is going to look so good against this olive shade.

It’s all in the details with this classic black pair: the chic horse bit and extra-thick woven lining are not to be overlooked.
