How to Style Loafers – As Seen on the Streets of Paris

 Ever since Gucci reissued their signature loafers and Prada their platform version, loafers are having a flash in many parts of the planet . Specifically, fashion enthusiasts in Paris recently seem to be exceptionally keen on the classic style, showcasing a spread of the way to wear them. From the standard preppy number to a vibrant refresh, loafers are truly a flexible shoe that’s easy to style and stands the test of your time . And once you discover the proper pair, they will easily become your go-to footwear of choice.

Whether you wish your loafers simple, chunky or eccentric, take inspiration from the trendsetters in Paris on the way to style them.

The combination of sentimental and edgy never gets old. Giving off an equivalent vibe as Villanelle’s monumental getup in Killing Eve (you know what I’m talking about), a babydoll dress may be a perfect addition to a pair of chunky loafers. Add some pearly accessories and there you've got a simple outfit you'll dress up or down.

A bralette + cardigan combo may be a must-have for the season since you never know when a cold breeze might hit.
