Nothing is quite as timeless as the loafer - and few fashion houses have perfected the silhouette as well as Gucci. The enduring Princetown slipper design offers the unrivalled sophistication of loafers with the comfort of slip-ons, finished off with the brand's signature Horsebit detail for good measure. But if you don't have £680 to spend on one pair of shoes, you'll want to know about these Anthropologie lookalikes.
In terms of high-quality footwear to invest in, a pair of best loafers for women surely ranks near the top of the list. However, they don't always come cheap. Debuting in the label's F/W 2015 collection, Gucci's Princetown mules are both some of the most recognisable and most stylish loafers on the market, but - unsurprisingly - they will set you back several hundreds of pounds when bought brand new.
