I'm Calling It: These Loafers Are the Most Stylish Shoes of 2025
It's still early on in the new year but already a key shoe of the year has already been declared. If you've taken a glance at fashionable people recently, you'll have noticed that many have set aside their chunky winter boots in favour of classic loafers. Timeless, elegant and incredibly easy to wear, loafers never really fell out of favour, but this year their popularity is more distinct than ever. Even more, it's the Saint Laurent penny loafer that every fashion person is thinking about.
The adoration of these iconic loafers was reignited as brown suede began trending, and fashion people swiftly turned to the high-end offerings of Saint Laurent. The dimpled toe box and sleek style quickly spawned a variety of copycats, but truly no come close to the real deal.
Bridging the gap between scruffy winter boots and toe-baring summer sandals, the loafer is the sleek way to slip into spring. And when style queen Pernille Teisbaek wears the particular pair in question with leather trousers and a knit vest, naturally we’ll all want to re-create this perfect pairing when the higher temperatures arrive. But for now, loafers with socks also get the seal of approval from fashion editors and influencers everywhere. This clever combo is also a way to wear them in, as we all know a new pair of slip-on shoes needs to soften up to be comfy.
However you choose to wear loafers, keep scrolling to explore the highly coveted Saint Laurent loafers, along with more sleek loafers.
