Now that fall is fully here in the city, stylish New Yorkers are pulling out their storage bins and dusting off their trusted cold-weather footwear in lieu of their minimalist flip-flops and mesh flats. Long gone are the days of a toe-baring summer—instead, New Yorkers are skimping on their pedicure budgets and going back to wearing boots, ballet flats, and, of course, loafers.
While ankle boots have been a fan favorite to wear under jeans or with floor-grazing satin skirts, New Yorkers are instead opting for slim, low-profile loafers to be their fall footwear of choice this season. Whether it's with classic trench coats or ultra-trendy corduroy pants, stylish New Yorkers are leaning more and more toward this comfortable flat shoe trend instead. Below, scroll through inspiring fall loafer outfit ideas and shop the best loafers to buy this season.
