How to create an image with loafers: options and rules

Different types of loafers are almost universal summer shoes, very comfortable due to the fact that you can – and should – wear them on bare feet, without fear of corns and calluses. However, there are also several rules for them that help them look their best and comply with all fashion trends.

The main recommendation for putting together an outfit with which you can wear loafers is to choose the “top” and “bottom” of the look as harmoniously as possible. The best combinations of 2018-2019, which include women's loafers in the photo below, perfectly demonstrate:

The right choice for such shoes would be the following outfits:

• cropped trousers plus a T-shirt or blouse;
• chiffon or lace dresses of the “flying” type, complemented by a jacket and a clutch that does not lose its relevance;
• short shorts combined with colored tights or patterned socks;
• business suits with skinny trousers or a pencil skirt;
• plain and simple-cut dresses, combined with neutral accessories - if the loafers themselves are bright and richly decorated with rhinestones, tassels and other decorative “things”;
• bohemian tunics, long boho-style skirts, and oversized sweaters.

The second rule for those who choose to wear loafers is that that the brighter their design, the calmer the tones of clothing should be . It also works in the opposite situation - when the outfit is bright, colorful and richly decorated, you should choose plain-colored shoes without decorations.

Loafers have become popular since the time of our grandmothers, although initially they were considered men's shoes. Loafers have become popular among women due to their convenience and comfort. Despite the fact that this shoe model has been in fashion for a long time, it still remains at the peak of popularity.

Modern fashionistas increasingly prefer this model, as it is not only comfortable, but over time has also begun to look stylish and sophisticated. Today you can find many options for this type of shoe. We will talk about them in more detail below.

A little history

It is generally accepted that loafers first appeared in England. Their inventors are the Spalding family of businessmen. First for men, and then for women, since the early 30s of the last century, the family has been making shoes.

Loafer - from the English “loafer”. The absence of fasteners and laces gives these shoes ease, convenience, and versatility. They are comfortable for walking, playing sports and feeling confident at official meetings. Loafer shoes are similar in appearance to moccasins, but are very different in design. In addition to the flat sole, the loafers are equipped with a low and chunky heel. Decorating shoes with tassels or fringes came into fashion thanks to the Italian family of fashion designers Berlutti. In the 70s, loafers with a small cut were especially popular, where American students put a small coin for good luck during their final exams. That's why the shoes became known as penny loafers.

Fashion trends did not ignore designer inputs. In 1950, thanks to a design solution by Arthur Tarlow, Alden Shoe Company introduced tassels into loafers. The metallic buckle appeared on the shoes in 1968. This stylization was invented by the European trendsetter Gucci and is a trend to this day.

Materials

What your loafers are made of will determine both their comfort and their appearance. There are now quite a lot of material options for loafers. Let's look at the most current trends:

• Matte leather always remains the most popular option. High-quality women's loafers are made from soft genuine leather, which easily follows the shape of the foot when worn. Matte leather loafers can be considered the most practical and versatile option.
• Patent loafers are in fashion right now. Their glossy shine will give even the simplest set of clothes a zest and make it more elegant. Women's patent leather loafers are perfect for an evening look.
• Crocodile leather loafers are a stylish and sophisticated option. They will look good with casual clothes if you value elegance. Also, similar loafers can be suitable for the evening or become an organic completion of your business suit.
• Suede loafers look interesting, however, unlike leather ones, they will require special care. It is advisable to wear such loafers only in good weather, so as not to get them dirty or wet in the rain. If the rules of care do not scare you, you can combine these loafers with almost any casual clothing.
• Nubuck loafers are a fairly economical option. In addition, these loafers are very soft, comfortable, pleasant to the touch and unusual in appearance. They often look good even with light, feminine dresses and skirts. Their only disadvantage is that, like suede models, nubuck loafers require especially careful care.
• Velvet loafers can be a great option for the evening. They will look very unusual with dresses, and in the new season it is fashionable to combine the most unexpected styles with each other. If you prefer an elegant style of dressing, velvet loafers without unnecessary decorations can be worn even during the day.

Models

In addition to the fact that there are classic models, today you can find a huge number of different options in a variety of colors.

• with tassels;
• with fringe;
• with buckle;
• penny loafers;
• slippers;
• Venetian;
• loafers without heels;
• on the platform;
• in medium and high heels.

Color solutions

The color range is also very wide - black, blue, gray, brown, green, white, red, yellow and many other colors, including pastel shades, gold and silver.

How to choose the right one

If you want your model to be as versatile and durable as possible, then it is better to opt for a classic black leather model (possibly patent leather). Brown, beige, white or burgundy loafers will also go well with many things.

If you want to buy a more original option, then lacquered red or blue, gold or silver, with platforms or heels will add zest to your look.

Fashion trends

Loafers are great because they can be easily worn with different styles of clothing. An attractive combination of beige or cognac-colored shoes with a white or black top. Loafers look great with cropped pants and shorts. They go well with jeans and miniskirts, as well as high-waisted dresses.

Women's narrow-toe loafers, made of suede or nubuck, are a great choice for those who value simplicity in style. Such shoes do not have various decorations made of beads, rhinestones, stripes, but may have an emblem. The good thing about this model is that it is suitable for both sporty girls and businesswomen. Loafers can be worn every day, because they are very convenient and comfortable to wear and eliminate foot fatigue, calluses and other troubles that can be expected from shoes.

Who shouldn't wear loafers?

• This type of shoe will not fit well on all female representatives:
• if your legs are shorter than your body, low-heeled models will only emphasize this;
• also, loafers are not suitable for those with full calves and shins - you are better off choosing strict models with clearer shapes;
• Loafers will not look good on too thin, aristocratic ankles. In this case, it is better to choose more accurate models, for example, pumps or ballet shoes;
• This type of shoe is not suitable for girls with large feet, because in loafers they will look even more massive;
• As for high-heeled models, they are not recommended for people suffering from varicose veins and pregnant women. But loafers with medium or low heels will allow you to remain stylish without harming your health or compromising comfort.

What to wear with loafers?

Women's loafers can be worn with almost any outfit, even though they are not exactly elegant. However, their strict, powerful lines are able to emphasize the fragility of a woman’s ankle.

Maxi, mini and midi skirts will look great with this type of shoe. This way you will express your femininity without sacrificing your own comfort. Ankle-length or higher pants, shorts and everyone's favorite jeans pair perfectly with loafers like no other wardrobe item. Women's loafers will look great with long knitted sweaters, dresses and knitted cardigans. This outfit can be worn even to an office with the strictest dress code.

I would like to note that not so long ago women's loafers with heels appeared, and this cannot but please the fair sex, who cannot imagine shoes without this element. Initially, it was very powerful, wide and straight, but recently you can find models with a triangular, widening towards the bottom or even complex geometric heel and even with a stiletto heel. Without a doubt, such women's loafers will not go unnoticed and will delight the eye of even the most picky fashionistas.

As for color, the most popular are beige, black, brown and cognac women's loafers. These models will go perfectly with clothes of any shade. For more daring girls who love catchy looks and prefer to be the center of attention, bright women's loafers have been released. So blue, pink, emerald, tiger, leopard models will not leave any fashionista indifferent.

Stylish combinations

With jeans and trousers

Loafers pair best with skinny trousers and jeans. Despite the classic shape, these shoes beautifully highlight the ankles, so you can safely wear cropped trousers. Any top or jumper is suitable as a top.

With skirts

Skirts of any silhouette and length can be combined with loafers. Even playful minis will go well with these shoes, creating a spectacular contrast of classics and romance.

By wearing loafers under a midi or pencil skirt, you will create a stylish business look, replacing boring ballet flats.

With dresses

Denim dresses are the perfect companion to loafers. A fashionable casual look will be complemented favorably by a hat, biker jacket, bag or backpack with fringe.

When choosing a dress to go with loafers, give preference to straight or A-line silhouettes, as well as shirt dresses. The simpler their design, the better they will look with these shoes.

With shorts

Short shorts, a bright top and loafers are a simple but quite stylish look for walking with friends or your loved one. Add an accent with a necklace or a small handbag with a long strap.

With socks

There is an opinion that loafers, like moccasins, are worn exclusively on bare feet. But since loafers can be worn until late autumn, you can safely wear tights, socks and knee socks under them. The exception is cropped trousers and jeans: in this case, a sock will be superfluous.

Spectacular images

IN Looking fashionable is a lot of work. You need to carefully monitor all the new products, understand the current colors, styles, brands... But looking stylish is an even more difficult task. Among thousands of things, find something truly yours and create images from it to your liking. Not everyone can do this. And people who have caught their wave know exactly how great it is to find shoes that easily fit into any mood, suit different styles and are comfortable at the same time.

M We want to tell you one option that really deserves attention - loafers. Not to be confused with moccasins. In contrast, loafers have a thin sole and a comfortable heel, and some modern models are presented on the platform. Now let's answer a very important question:

Loafers

N We don’t know what the secret is here, in the shape of loafers or in the attractiveness of women’s ankles, but these shoes look great with cropped trousers. It can be almost any classic black - we recommend wearing with them cozy plain jumpers in gray, pale pink, mint color or light white shirts in an ensemble with fitted jackets.

H Black trousers are not a panacea, of course. It’s quite easy to replace them with dark green (closer to noble emerald), burgundy or cherry. These look great with not only black, but dark plum or dark brown loafers, and you can tuck them in not only with a shirt, but also with a dark gray top with an unusual print, and top it all off with a khaki jacket.

P Continuing the shortened theme, we note that black loafers are close in spirit to vintage blue jeans and loose black blouses. As well as short skinnies (including current black ones with slits at the knees) and all kinds of fitted jumpers and turtlenecks. Plus rolled up boyfriends, oversized cardigans and voluminous scarves.

T Now let's return to the classic length. Tapered black trousers also fit into our story about miracle shoes. But it doesn’t hurt to add airiness to the look with a loose printed blouse or a delicate white top with fringe.

H To finally balance everything out, throw on a long black cardigan and a hat. This look is ideal for romantic dates, but you can also create an office look with the same trousers. To do this, you will need a regular plain top and a jacket in a small check (if the check is black and white, then burgundy loafers will contrast perfectly with it), or a plain gray one.

WITH Standard-length jeans (perhaps slightly frayed or even torn) together with a vest jumper and black or bolder leopard-print loafers are what you need for everyday activities and walks around the city. If you need warmth, use a beige trench coat or a black biker jacket. And here we note that leather trousers are also good, especially if your loafers are decorated with rough fittings.

N and now about the shortest one. Loafers (for which thanks to their creators) look great with shorts, and with almost any kind. Brown ones will decorate a summer look of white high shorts, a top and a jacket in the style of the legend Coco. Black patent leather will go well with denim, as well as high classic ones, which you can wear with black tights and plaid jackets.

N oh that's not all. Loafers look impressive even with a skirt. So, classic black ones will suit a formal pencil skirt and a simple jumper. To create more playful looks, flowy multi-layered circle skirts in black, beige, burgundy, and emerald colors will be useful. And also brown loafers, vest jumpers, oversized white shirts, cozy cardigans. We offer several examples:

Platform loafers

WITH have become quite popular. It is unknown how long interest in them will last, but we hope that it will be a sufficient amount of time. Because they look bold, attractive and informal. Well, since they differ from ordinary loafers in only one (but significant) element, we can easily duplicate many answers to the question “what to wear them with”, adding a few highlights.

N Wear platform loafers with cropped trousers and jeans (both loose and fitted), distressed rolled-up boyfriends, vintage high-waisted jeans, tucked into loose blouses, plain jumpers, oversized tops, etc. As a top, it is worth considering a crop top, a jacket (worn on a naked body) with a wide belt, a denim jacket and a straight, elongated vest.

When it comes to shoes, sometimes we just don't know what to wear. Shoes, ballet flats, slip-ons, flip-flops, sandals, sneakers or boots, which type should you choose today? Each type of shoe is beautiful in its own way and has its own purpose. Today we will talk about such an interesting type of shoes as loafers.

Loafers are similar to moccasins, but differ from them with a hard and rather rough sole. Sometimes these models come with a small heel. Additions to loafers most often include fringe, rhinestones, tassels, etc.

Loafers are made from genuine or artificial leather. There are also suede and nubuck models.

Interesting Facts:

• The name loafers comes from the English word “loafer”, which means loafer.
• The first loafers appeared on sailors back in the distant 20s.
• In 1930, fashion houses began mass producing loafers for men. And only starting from the mid-80s, world celebrities of that time began to wear loafers. Such as Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.

Loafers and dresses

Loafers are considered a classic type of shoe. With their help you can create a different look, be it a casual or office look.

If you go to work, you can choose loafers in a standard black patent color. They are minimalist, fashionable and very comfortable to wear. The main thing in such a tandem is not to overdo it with accessories, but you can add a jacket or a classic vest.

A good option for a summer walk would be to choose a chiffon dress and loafers in bright colors. They can be silver, white, sometimes, if the print of your dress allows it, they can be leopard loafers. You can choose a dress in soft lilac, pink or other pastel colors. If you are not afraid of bright colors, you can wear a red dress with black stripes. In this case, black loafers are your best choice.

Loafers, skirts and shorts

It is very interesting to wear a skirt and loafers, because in this combination you can choose any top. The look of a play of colors can be achieved by combining a white top and a black bottom.

Loafers will complement the picture and an excellent office look is ready.

For a more casual look, choose skirts in bright colors. Only in this case should your top be dark, plain or white. Otherwise, loafers with a too bright, flashy image will look out of place.

You can also easily wear loafers under shorts, choosing a light top. This could be a long-sleeved blouse or a knitted turtleneck.

Loafers and trousers

One of the classic combinations is loafers and trousers. In a strict, work dress code, trousers can be black or white, but choose colored ones for more casual models.

Pants can be chosen in different styles. These can be culottes, tapered models or cropped trousers. Loafers will go well with any look. Wear a colored top in this version, but not a very bright color. You can complement it with a white jacket and get an interesting semi-monochrome look. A purple sweater with a black cardigan on top would be an effective choice.

Loafers and jeans looks

When two classics are intertwined in an image, then in this case you must think through your image to the smallest detail. Do not use too revealing blouses, open T-shirts and tops in this combination. It will look very bad in combination with loafers.

It is advisable to choose jeans in a classic version, without torn holes or stripes. You can add a beige coat or long straight-cut jackets to your look.

We're sure you know what loafers look like, but we'll repeat it anyway: these are formal shoes without laces with a chunky sole and a small heel.

Conventionally, they are divided into two types: tassel-loafers- have small leather tassels and penny-loafers- instead of tassels they have leather bridges. But in fact, visionary designers have long created many new modifications: on a platform, on a tractor sole, with a metal jumper, without a jumper, with a bow, with rivets - and with almost anything. But how to fit them into your wardrobe?
