Yesterday marked the end of London Fashion Week. While the runways showcased collections from designers like Chopova Lowena, H&M, and Burberry, our focus has been on the streets of London, observing the trends that are set to define the season.
With fall officially here, it's no surprise to see women's loafers everywhere, once again proving themselves as the ultimate fall shoes. From expensive-looking suede loafers to patent-leather styles, chic Londoners displayed their unique tastes. But one common element tied these looks together: socks. Penny loafers paired with scrunched-up socks fit the playful edge of short dresses, while classic loafers with tall socks created a polished, preppy vibe—especially when styled with plaid midi skirts or long capes.
This fall, if you want your loafers to feel fresh, it comes down to how you style them—specifically, the addition of socks. Think ribbed white or gray pairs for a timeless look, or infuse some personality with bright red or polka-dot options.
With that said, keep scrolling to shop the best loafers and socks, and discover more ways Londoners are styling these pieces for fall 2025.
