It's Happening, People: These It Loafers From 1953 Are Back From the Dead

Loafer season is just around the corner, and if you have a Gucci pair sitting in the back of your closet, it's time to dust them off and bring them out. It's not that they ever truly went out of style. This fall, however, these designer loafers are expected to be even more popular than before. Need proof? Celebrities are already stepping out in their favorite pairs, setting the tone for the season ahead.

Last week, Katy Perry and Natalie Portman were both seen in Gucci loafers. Interestingly, they both chose the same style, the Jordaan. Perry paired hers with jeans and a white button-down shirt, and Portman—seen on set for Good Sex, where she's playing a couples therapist named Ally—styled hers with striped shorts, a trench coat, and socks.

This loafer silhouette draws inspiration from the classic Gucci Horsebit Loafers introduced in 1953. With its low profile, sleek design, slightly elongated toe, and small Horsebit hardware, the Jordaan offers a modern reinterpretation of that iconic style. These loafers are incredibly versatile and loved worldwide, inspiring the Italian label to create different iterations using new materials and hardware. The brand has even launched a version with a flexible leather heel that can be pushed down to transform the loafers into slip-on mules.

Apart from recent sightings of the Jordaan, we've also seen Gucci's Brixton Loafers on Dakota Johnson, who matched hers with straight-leg jeans and a gray T-shirt for a trip to Erewhon. Daisy Edgar-Jones has been spotted wearing a platform style with navy wide-leg trousers, a cropped white tee, and a trench coat.
