Comfort, style and practicality - these words describe loafers well. Girls love them for their versatility: they can be combined with both everyday clothes and festive looks. Over time, these shoes have become more and more popular and in 2020 they are still relevant. That’s why today I’ll tell you how to wear loafers correctly this season.
Shoe Features
Although shoes initially came into world fashion thanks to men, they have firmly taken a leading position in the women's wardrobe. The main characteristic features of classic loafers are:
- No lacing.
- Thick sole.
- Has a small heel.
- The upper part is similar to moccasins.
They were originally considered no-frills shoes, but over time their appearance has changed. New-fashioned loafer models are no longer so discreet. Designers decorate them with fringes, tassels, bridles, leather stripes and cross bars. But the convenience remains virtually unchanged.
However, these shoes are also suitable for those girls who prefer heels rather than flat soles. The stable wide heel of the loafers will allow you to wear them tirelessly all day long. Such models of unusual colors go well with plain clothes. And you should complement the look with an accessory that matches the color of the shoes.
Which ones to choose
In 2020, loafers of every color and shape can be found on the catwalks. Among the favorites are both win-win standard models with tassels and jumpers, as well as shoes of unusual, sophisticated styles.
The main trend of the season: the use of not only leather decorative elements, but also suede, velor or metal. Models using unusual materials become the main highlight of the look. With their help, shoes create an interesting accent and clearly highlight the fashionista.
The trends of the spring-summer season of this year will not bypass loafers without a backdrop. This model is especially convenient for long walks, because it does not rub your feet. Plus, flat shoes are quite versatile. They look great with flowy dresses, linen shorts and even some elements of sportswear.
As for color, materials in neutral shades are usually used: beige, black, brown and white. However, the color scheme becomes more extravagant from year to year. The latest fashion is gold or silver shoes, as well as animal prints.
What to wear with
Loafers, as mentioned above, are one of the most versatile shoe models. They go with many spring/summer pieces that girls love, be it a floor-length skirt, a cozy cardigan, or shorts with a crop top.
White shoes look stylish with a long skirt and a voluminous sweater. The standard option that can be used to complement an office look is beige low-cut models. A work look with loafers can also be complemented with a loose-fitting shirt and chinos.
These shoes go well with cropped jeans, the leg length of which falls just below the calf. In addition, the combination of a simple sheath dress with loafers is popular. You can complement this look with a stylish tote bag and massive jewelry. Often shoes can take center stage in an outfit. For example, you can combine unusual shoes in bright colors with plain, light-colored dresses with a flowing cut. In this case, it is better to exclude other flashy accessories.
