I see classic loafers everywhere I look nowadays. Because like a good ankle boot, they’re a solid, timeless addition to an autumn and winter capsule wardrobe. But also because wearing loafers with socks is having a moment right now.
And while the classic loafer is a timeless piece, trying this new ‘loafer with socks’ trend is very achievable and a great way to update your look as we go into the coming season.
Here are 6 classic pairs of loafers that you may want to add to your footwear collection.
Loraine Loafers
This pair of loafers is a slim looking fit with a flat heel and a simple hardware detail (to add a little interest). It’s a true classic and will be a real workhorse in your wardrobe during Autumn and even into winter.
Leather Loafers in Black
And if you’re looking for a black pair of loafers, these would be a versatile addition to any wardrobe. They are 100% leather and also come in off-white and silver.
Nemo Loafers
But if you’re looking for a chunkier, more on-trend loafer that’ll give you a bit of height, then this one is for you. I’ve tried this pair in-store and they’re very comfortable. I also think the horse-bit embellishment gives it a classic feel with just enough interest without being too over-the-top. I had to size down in this style because chunkier shoes can slip when you walk, so it’s advisable to go for a tighter fit. Also, you have to remember that the leather will stretch slightly with wear.

Another classic pair with delicate trim detail. These are simple enough to look good with a pair of socks.
Leather loafers with metallic detail
These loafers tick all the boxes. Leather, rounded toe with a classic metallic detail. Would be great for work.
