Elizabeth Olsen Wore the Flat Shoes That Will Still Be in Style in 50 Years

The stories I write for Who What Wear oscillate between trendy and timeless. Sometimes I’m reporting on daring celebrity outfits and other times I’m covering tried-and-true wardrobe staples. As you might have guessed from my headline, this story fits into the latter camp. 

Photographed arriving at the CBS studios in New York City, Elizabeth Olsen wore the flat shoe trend that will never go out of style: black loafers. They’ve been popular since the 1930s and show no signs of slowing down. Not only are they a more comfortable alternative to heels, but their versatility cannot be understated. You can style loafers with a pantsuit as Elizabeth Olsen did, or you can pair them with casual ripped jeans just as easily. The options are truly endless. Scroll down to shop my favorite loafers
