There are certain shoe styles we always gravitate toward. Chelsea boots, slide sandals, and pointed-toe flats usually fall into that category, often purchased in multiple colorways at that. However, one shoe trend that stands out the most for being timeless has to be loafers. This style is not only seasonless but can also easily go from sporty to sophisticated in no time.
Deciding how many pairs are too many in your closet is up to you. However, if you love classic, comfortable loafers just as much as we do, we highly suggest your next pair come from the five brands below. They just so happen to do loafers better than most. Scroll on to shop.
