You might have noticed a new shoe trend slipping into the wardrobe rotations of stylish people this season. A sleek evolution from the basic loafers that have dominated fashion circles for the past few years, mock croc loafers are the winter shoe trend that can no longer be ignored.
Tapping into the growing animal print trend that's seen leopard print, zebra print and cow print come to the fore, this elegant evolution speaks to a sophisticated side of styling the some of the other faux animal motifs that maybe aren't quite so versatile.
Angular, glossy and naturally chic, this loafer iteration is an easy way to punctuate a casual look with a smart and polished finish. A sleeker alternative to boots and trainers for daily styling throughout the winter months, this shoe can slot in to all of the outfits that your boots had completed up until now. Pairing well with tailored trousers and pencil skirts, they also style incredibly well with a variety of jeans styles, too.
Naturally expensive looking, mock croc fabrications always appear well above their actual price point, due to the expensive nature of the real crocodile skin the preceded the mock croc trend in the '40s, '50s, and '60s. Now, thankfully, designers have embraced faux materials that look just as sophisticated but, naturally, are more ethical.
I invested in a pair of mock croc shoes myself a few years ago, and while they aren't loafers, ev every time I wear them I immediately feel more put together. So I know mock croc loafers will afford me the same payoff.
Certainly one of the chicest winter trends to invest in this season, read on to discover our edit of the best mock croc loafers below.
