As we tumble into Spring and Summer, the loafer season is well and truly upon us. A variety of silhouettes have been dominating the streets for the last five years from chunky soles to the shiniest patent leather. This year is no different, from London to NYC - I’ve noticed that everyone's favourite fashion girls are favouring a different shape. A newer, sleeker slimline suede silhouette.
As the weather warms, outfit styling becomes significantly easier. The seasonal shed brings a new leash of life and fresh eyes to pieces that have been gathering dust for the last few months. Whether you're attending a smart event or a casual outing, a suede loafer helps effortlessly pull your outfit together with a sophisticated quality. Oozing quiet luxury, their versatility lies within their comfortability.
Lighter than their shiny polished leather sisters, suede loafers are ideal for closing the gap between winter and summer style, and there's no denying that they whisper of quiet luxury lifestyles. They're comfortable too, with the supple suede composition moulding to your feet much more easily than stiff leather—ensuring a comfortable stride from the get go.
It's hard to ignore the recent viral interest sparked by Marks & Spencer's sellout brown loafers recently (don't worry, I'm keeping a beady eye out for restocks), but if you missed out on this trending pair, don't worry. High-street and designer brands are introducing suede loafers into their spring collections at pace. From Gucci's reinvented horsebit style and Arket's streamlined pair to H&M's lace-up driving loafers, there are endless compelling options to discover.
To save you time, I've done the research, and scrolled through hundreds of new-in shoes to bring you the best pairs of suede loafers that come editor-approved. Read on to shop the twelve pairs that really stood out to me, and don't forget to stock up on suede protector to keep your pair lasting as long as possible!
