Trends: Loafers (and how to make them look fashionable)

The newest old trend on the streets of big, fashionable cities is...drumroll please...women's loafers! I'm in love with this trend for two reasons: 1. Loafers are extremely comfy. 2. Can be dressed up and down.

But beware, my fellow fashionistas! Wearing loafers the wrong way can make you look like granny-gone-wrong, and thats not fabulous at all. So I've compiled the best ways to wear women's loafers (in my opinion, of course), as well as some great options for purchasing your own classic yet modern pair!

The J Crew Way: Socks & Pleated Skirt (J Crew Fall collection 2011)
Contrasting & Sexy (J Crew Fall collection 2011)

Opaque Tights & Loafers

And its me! And my Kaya loafers. Cropped slacks, long cardi.

  1. you know, I've always been afraid of loafers for fear of coming off too masculine, but you look perfectly feminine and adorable in those black cropped pants... I think I just may have to try a pair!!

  2. Just about to do a post with my new loafers :)
    All the students in Cardiff have been wearing them for a while now, usually with cropped trousers and a stripey top-kinda french or with a floral tea dress and tights
