The pendulum of fashion is finally swinging away from the aggressive hardware and exaggerated soles that have dominated fall footwear for seasons. As the mood shifts toward quiet luxury and timeless polish, a classic silhouette is coming back into the spotlight: classic brown leather loafers.
These aren't the chunky loafers that have been trending lately. They're the sleek, refined staple that acts as the anchor for a modern, grounded outfit, and no one is proving their relevance more effectively than Gigi Hadid. For a family dinner in Los Angeles recently, the supermodel paired her dark-brown leather Miu Miu loafers with a navy suede jacket and barrel jeans, a denim silhouette characterized by its subtly curved, roomy leg and cropped hem. Her full-length jeans easily glide over the slim-profile shoes without bunching up, making this my ideal jeans-and-shoe pairing. Keep scrolling to shop pieces to re-create Hadid's classic, laid-back look for yourself.
