While it's certainly true that style has no age, different generations naturally tend to dress in distinctive ways. What an 80-year-old gravitates to will be different than an 18-year-old, and that's perfectly fine. But sometimes you'll come across a trend that's so universal, so practical, and so timeless that grandmas and Gen Z wear it—and that's exactly the case with penny loafers.

Photographed with Callum Turner in New York City, Dua Lipa styled her black-and-white penny loafers with a black bomber jacket and gray jeans, but the shoes can be paired with anything and everything you already own. Minidresses? Denim shorts? Check and check. Penny loafers can be styled in a million different ways. Scroll down to see Dua Lipa's newest outfit and shop the shoe trend for yourself.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
