Don’t tell my sneaker collection, but I’m eyeing a new style for fall 2025: Loafers. They’re everywhere on my newsfeed, for one, but they’re also proving to be a go-to when I want an elevated fall shoe that doesn’t feel stuffy. I’ve found myself looking at the biggest loafer trends of the season and debating which one I should invest in before cold weather kicks in.
Sure, you probably already know about classic black styles or even ones that come in a funky, ‘70s-inspired croc print. But what about the sky-high platform styles that nearly broke the internet (and a few ankles) when they debuted at Gucci earlier this year? They’re one of fall’s biggest shoe trends, as are grandpa-core tasseled loafers—another controversial trend that fashion insiders have already co-signed for fall.
