The Elevated Alternative to Black Loafers I Keep Seeing on the Streets of Paris
Though I may not be physically strolling the streets of Paris, my virtual gaze is firmly fixed on the city's fashion elite. Each day, I immerse myself in the sublime world of Parisian street style through Instagram and paparazzi sites, observing the stylish choices of trendsetting fashion people. This week, I was captivated by a delightful shift: Chic dressers in Paris are gracefully trading their classic black loafers for a more sumptuous alternative—burgundy loafers.
A notable example is Kendall Jenner, who was recently seen in Paris. While on the set of L'Oréal's latest campaign at the Louvre, she wore a suede burgundy blazer that perfectly complemented her white T-shirt and straight-leg jeans. The standout piece of her outfit was her burgundy penny loafers from Thursday Boots, which featured a chunky lug sole for added comfort and traction.

I'm not suggesting that black loafers have fallen out of favor, but if you're yearning to elevate your denim ensembles with a touch of richness and personality, a burgundy pair is the way to go. Keep scrolling to snag Jenner's exact loafers and shop other burgundy options that will infuse your wardrobe with warmth and style.

The G.H.Bass Weejuns were the first penny loafers ever introduced.
