It’s Official: These Chic Loafers Are the Most-Wanted Shoes of the Year—and They’re Back in Stock
Spotted on the Lyst Index and favoured by editors and insiders alike, Miu Miu’s cult loafers aren’t going anywhere. Thankfully, after months of waiting, they're finally back in stock.


If there’s one brand consistently turning out accessories that feel both cool and timeless, it’s Miu Miu. Case in point? The brand's popular suede loafers—equal parts prep-school polish and off-duty ease—which have long been a fixture in fashion's best-dressed wardrobes, and now have officially landed on the Lyst Index, a quarterly ranking of the world's hottest fashion brands and products complied by the shopping platform, as one of the most popular shoes for 2025.
Of course, the loafer isn’t new. It’s been cycled through everything from mod subculture to 2010s prep revival, but this iteration feels different. The Miu Miu version eschews the usual polish for something softer, less precise: rounded toe, brushed suede, an almost slipper-like wearability. They’re easier than a boot, sharper than a trainer, and give just enough texture to pull a whole look together but a directional choice that aligns with the mood of low-effort, high-impact dressing. It was this innate appeal that made them sell out when they first launched last year. Thankfully, they've now been restocked just in time for autumn.
As we head into the new season, expect these loafers to continue dominate both IRL and your saved folder. Think of them as the natural evolution of ballet flats and Mary Janes—still refined, but a touch more grounded. Style them with slouchy tailoring for a grown-up take on collegiate cool or contrast their preppy feel with oversized denim and a boxy tee. However you wear them, know this: the Miu Miu suede loafer isn’t just a trend—it’s a foundation piece for the season ahead.
While Miu Miu might have created the most-coveted suede loafer of the season, it's by no means the only brand to do so. From Aeyde's moccasin-adjacent pair to Gianvito Rossi's perfect brown pair, there are plenty of elevated options to consider. The high street has also more than caught on. Free People, Other Stories, and Marks Spencer have turned out their own versions—some polished, some unapologetically chunky. The key is in the details: look for slightly oversized soles, a soft structure, and minimal hardware.
Of course, if you can, I'll always vindicate for the original. Scroll on to shop Miu Miu's suede loafers while they're available (trust me, this won't be for long) and then proceed to browse more suede loafers.
