last updated 22 September 2024

Ask any editor and they'll tell you the same thing—loafers are to autumn what sandals are to summer: borderline non-negotiable. Light enough to see you through autumn's initial balmy days, the elegant shoe trend features a thick sole and hardy leather finish that will also hold up against the eventual drop in temperature later in the season.

Polishing up a look with a smart finish, the enduing loafer has the unique ability to neaten up your outfits with ease. Wearing well with baggy jeans, but looking all the more sleek with a tailored trouser, the versatile shoe trend is a fashion person's footwear go-to for a reason.

ARE LOAFERS STILL IN STYLE FOR 2024?

Whilst loafers as a category will never go out of style, particular styles of loafers will ebb and flow out of favour with the seasons. This autumn we're seeing classic black styles continue to dominate, but we're also welcoming in a few fresh iterations onto the scene. To get the low-down on 2024's biggest loafer trends, read on to discover the four fresh styles we're shopping right now.
