5 Ways to Style Loafers

A classic loafer will always be on-trend and a comfortable slip-on is a wardrobe staple. You might think of loafers as typical workwear attire, but I’ve got 5 unexpected ways to style them. A little extra flair, such as in a snakeskin printed colorway, is always a plus, and I especially love the M.Gemi Sacca Donna style in Pewter Printed Leather! Unfortunately they are sold out, but I love the Gray Suede style as well! They totally serve as a neutral but are a little more exciting than your basic black.

Look #1: “Girly” Girl

A ruffled hem and a puff shoulder are just my style. As a self-proclaimed “girly” girl, a feminine sweater dress is a must for me in the Fall. My best tip: try contrasting a romantic sweater dress with a more masculine shoe, like a loafer.

Look #2: “Bruh” Girl

If you’re anywhere on social media, especially TikTok, you are sure to come across this casual-cool aesthetic. “Bruh” girls like the contrast of oversized pieces against more fitted silhouettes – a little bit masculine but still sexy. I opted for a pair of vintage style denim with a tee and oversized blazer. This look would also work well with a neutral crop top.

Look #3: Monochromatic

Nothing says chic like tone-on-tone. You’re sure to see this trend for seasons to come. It’s an easy and effortless way to put together a look – and it really makes the snakeskin printed leather stand out.

Look #4: Moto

A black leather moto jacket is a staple in any capsule wardrobe. It’s such an easy topper to make dresses feel edgier and more casual. Paired with a simple sweater dress and snakeskin loafers for an unexpected combo that totally works.

Look #4: Menswear Inspired

An oversized men’s white dress shirt has so much potential. With cuffed sleeves and tucked in or tied at the waist, the look really just exudes that certain “je ne sai quoi” that just can’t be described. Glam it up with some chunky gold jewelry.
