You can opt for traditional looking loafers in a neutral shade, like black or brown, if you want to keep things traditional. If you’d like something that stands out more, pick a fun color or a pattern. Whatever your choice, there are lots of ways to wear them, and you’ll quickly find that they’re more versatile than you think. I like loafers because they usually have a very tiny little heel, which I appreciate because I don’t always love super flat shoes. I also think they make any outfit look just a smidge more put together and professional. Want to see what I mean? Check out these tips on how to wear loafers, and then go buy yourself a pair, if you don’t have them already.
1. A pair of embellished loafers makes super casual boyfriend jeans and a blanket scarf look a little bit more dressed up.
2. Use loafers to pull together high-waisted mom jeans and a black mock turtleneck. This outfit has a little bit of a vintage vibe to it, and it’s so easy to put together.
3. Loafers can definitely look a little preppy, but when worn with ripped skinny jeans and a leather jacket, they look super cool.
4. Loafers make skinny jeans and a giant sweater look chic instead of lazy.
5. Wear your loafers with cropped ankle jeans to really show them off.
6. Printed loafers, like this snakeskin pair, are so fun. Wear them with black pants, a striped top, a long cardigan, and a hat for the perfect fall look.
7. Make your loafers stand out – get a metallic pair, like these pointy-toed silver loafers. They’re insanely cool.
8. If it feels a little too chilly to wear loafers, just wear them over socks – who cares if you can see them?
