Forget Black Loafers—Every Chic Person in Hollywood Is Opting for This Color Trend Instead
Black loafers are great because they're a classic shoe that goes with everything. They have a bit of a schoolgirl charm, and they're often just as comfortable as sneakers but with a far more elevated feel. Everyone has been wearing them—from cool New Yorkers to just about every stylish celebrity in Hollywood. But in recent months, a new preferred color has emerged, as seen recently on Kirsten Dunst.
The actress was recently spotted out in a blue baseball cap and black sweater, styled with brown pants that matched the shade of her suede loafers. Typically, most people would just throw on a pair of loafers that matched the sweater, but Dunst's styling feels far less expected.
Brown is just as neutral as black, and yet most people don't own a pair of loafers in that shade. As demonstrated by Dunst, it's a great option if you want something that feels a bit different but not too different. And it'll also look just as good with all of the black (or brown) in your closet.
