Styling loafers: from the office to the weekend
Loafers are slip-on shoes without laces. They look polished and are comfortable, which makes them the shoe for the office, the city and the weekend.
In short: Loafers go with jeans, chinos and skirts almost every time, as long as colour and fabric suit the occasion.
What do you wear loafers with?
With jeans, chinos, tailored trousers, midi skirts and dresses. They are less formal than pumps and smarter than sneakers.
Loafers at the office: what works?
Dark colours such as black and dark brown look the most professional. Pair them with pressed trousers or a midi skirt. A classic model without many details suits almost any dress code.
Loafers for the weekend
The shoe shows best with cuffed or cropped jeans. Lighter colours and suede look more relaxed. You will find care tips in our guide Caring for suede.
With or without socks?
Both are possible. Without socks it feels summery; in autumn, wear thin liner socks or tights. Sneaker socks protect against rubbing without showing.
Loafers with a heel or flat?
Flat loafers suit everyday wear and go with almost everything. A slight heel lengthens the leg and works well with skirts and dresses.
Which colour suits which outfit?
Black for the office and evenings, brown and cognac for jeans and beige, light tones for summer. Matching your belt or bag looks harmonious.
Loafers or ballerinas?
Loafers give more support and structure. Ballerinas look softer and more playful. You will find both in Loafers and ballerinas.
Which size fits loafers?
Loafers should fit snugly at the heel without pinching. New leather gives a little over time. More on sizing: Finding your size.
