I’ve always considered loafers one of the few truly evergreen items in my wardrobe. Through summer, autumn, winter and spring, they remain a constant in my styling rotation. A staple that rarely requires updating, instead, it’s the outfits around them that evolve with the seasons.

This summer, I’ve been pairing mine with floaty skirts and breezy linen trousers. But with the seasonal shift fast approaching, I’ve got my eye on a new denim trend to pair with my favourite shoe—one that I predict will be everywhere from this week onwards until we're firmly in autumn.

Swapping out neatly fitting straight-leg jeans and side-stepping oversized wide-leg styles, fashion people are starting to turn their attention to slouchy denim. Letting the hems gently puddle over the top of the shoe, the timeless polish of a leather loafer grounds the laid-back feel of loose denim, creating a silhouette that’s both effortless and elevated; a striking balance few fashion people can refuse.

While I’ve long been loyal to the sleek straight-leg jeans and loafer pairing, this new take feels refreshingly easy and low-key. It makes even the most refined loafers feel more wearable for casual days. Add a relaxed knit or a fitted tee to complete the look and you’ve nailed the art of off-duty polish.

Already, I’ve spotted countless influencers giving this look their stamp of approval. Tapping into two of autumn’s key trends—slouchy jeans and classic loafers—it’s easy to see why this pairing is taking off.

If you’re looking for a simple way to breathe new life into last year’s loafers, just add a pair of puddle-hem jeans. And if you’re due an upgrade in either department, read on for my edit of the best slouchy jeans and loafers to shop right now.
