As the temperature drops, we can finally put away our sandals and break out some cold-weather footwear, like a pair of loafers, which are as hip and trendy as they are practical. Classic black and white penny loafers alongside fitted menswear-inspired clothing and peep-toed patent leather loafers paired with baggy pants and blazers for a sophisticated look were totted out on the runway by houses like Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuitton as part of their Fall/Winter 2022 collections.
Loafers are often associated with a preppy aesthetic, even though you can dress them down or up depending on the rest of your ensemble. You can achieve a 1970s style by pairing them with lace trousers, opting for a mod look by pairing them with a little skirt, or amplifying the effect by wearing a pair of colored socks. Wearing them with jeans and a white T-shirt will give your look a refined edge. Top model Gigi Hadid was recently spotted in a pair of two-tone penny loafers with a fall-toned suit set, while her sister Bella wore the same shoes with a micro little skirt and white ankle socks. Due to the vast selection of available loafers, we researched which popular styles would be the best to buy for the cooler months of 2023. Check down to see if any of your favorites made the cut.
