Loafers • Ladies

What are loafers?

Loafers for women are an open and laceless shoe, which is characterized by being a so-called slip-on shoe. It is a low shoe that shows an exposed ankle, which is why loafers are particularly popular in spring, summer and early autumn.

Loafers are a bit like moccasins, but have a sole attached to the upper and a wide, fixed heel. In addition to the classic styles, many different types of loafers have different embellishments and features such as tassels, buckles and straps.

Which women's loafers should you choose?

There are a huge number of types of loafers and whether you choose classic loafers, chunky loafers or heeled loafers, leather or suede loafers, black loafers, brown loafers or maybe white loafers depends on what you want to use the shoes for.

The classic loafers for women are an essential part of any basic wardrobe, and can easily be styled with many different types of outfits for an exclusive yet casual look. They are loafers that have a low and simple sole, are made of leather in neutral colours like black, brown or beige and have only simple or no embellishments.

Loafers in the slightly chunkier styles will give the impression of a more personal and playful style, and can therefore be used to give your look a cool and refreshing twist. For example, loafers with a platform sole or perhaps loafers in surprising materials such as suede with a fur lining. Loafers for women in prominent colours like blue or white, and in general eye-catching details in the form of detailing and embellishments, will similarly allow you to play with your style and create personality with your loafers.

How to style your loafers

Only your imagination can limit how you can wear your loafers, but if you're going for a classic look, here are a few tips for a safe styling that you'll never go wrong with.

• Go for the simple loafers and choose neutral shades like black, brown or beige.
• Wear your loafers with bare feet and cropped trousers - preferably jeans. The bare ankles against the fine shoes with slightly masculine features create a timeless and interesting contrast to a feminine look.
• Match your loafers for women with jeans, a shirt or t-shirt and a light blazer for a cool and casual look that's perfect for work spring, summer and early fall.
