Loafers: The polished yet preppy flat found in every stylish woman's wardrobe. I know it may sound like I’m exaggerating, but trust me, if you were to take a look into any fashion editor, influencer or street styler's wardrobe, I can practically guarantee you’d find at least one pair of loafers hidden inside.
A few years ago, I would have taken this prediction a step further and bet good money that said loafers would have been classic, in a black leather finish, most likely with some form of gold detailing (Gucci Horsebits, I’m looking at you). Now, however, I’d be far less certain as, while traditional black loafers will always hold ground in our wardrobe, there’s a new shoe trend that’s been gaining momentum with those in the fashion know. A continuation of autumn's suede trend and our penchant for menswear-inspired detailing this season, Suede loafers are on the rise, and I predict we’re going to be seeing a lot of them throughout AW25.
