It might have been having a major moment over the past few months, but as we step into autumn, it’s clear that suede—in all its forms—isn’t going anywhere. Chemena Kamali’s debut collection for Chloé’s AW24 show reignited boho, catapulting suede back into the spotlight, and its momentum hasn’t slowed since (even making an appearance in high summer, would you believe, in the form of sandals and flip-flops).
So far, it's been suede trainers, jackets, sandals and bags topping the wish lists of some of the chicest people out there, but, after scrolling through plenty of Instagram posts, it seems that everyone's latest suede-related obsession comes in the form of one of my favourite, and chicest, flat shoes: loafers. Thanks to designers such as Saint Laurent and Gucci, the suede loafer has fast become one of this season's most sought-after footwear choices, striking the perfect balance between effortless and elevated, and not to mention being practical, too.
Whilst the loafer has always been a core staple in any fashion person's wardrobe, the suede iteration is a welcome change. Don’t doubt their styling abilities either; as we move into that tricky transitional period, the suede loafer's versatility is unmatched. From jeans (light or dark wash, whatever takes your fancy) to mini skirts and leggings to tailored trousers, their wearability options ensure they will quickly become one of your most reached-for pairs of shoes. Plus, no matter what you pair them with, and how much you spent on them, suede loafers are guaranteed to add an expensive-looking touch to your look.
And while they might be having a moment right, suede loafers are also, without a doubt, a sophisticated wardrobe staple that you’ll have in your wardrobe for years to come, making them well worth the purchase, whatever your budget is. So, with that in mind, I've done the hard work for you and rounded up the best suede loafers for every budget below. Happy shopping!
