This Loafer Colour Is Chic, Goes With Everything and Is the Perfect Alternative to Black for Spring

Now we're in spring, it's time to get out of my style rut of wearing head-to-toe black clothing and accessories day-in-day-out. Don't get me wrong, I know full noir looks can be very chic but, when you find that you've worn little else for the last six months, it can make you feel a little glum. So I'm ready to embrace the warmer months by wearing uplifting outfits, starting with my accessories.
For spring/summer 2025, I'm punctuating my moody wardrobe with a fresh-looking shoe trend that can lift my outfits in an instant. Inspired by the chic ensembles I've spotted all over my FYP, this season, the white loafers trend is the one I'm investing in.
Light, bright and new-looking, this thoughtful shoe addition can elevate a look with ease. Pairing well with black or navy trousers, I think that a pair of white shoes comes in handy when you want your basics to feel, well, a little more fashionable, particularly when it's in the form of a very classic, elegant-looking loafer.
As with all white shoes, they will only ever be as chic as your ability to keep them looking their best. If any blemishes do appear, try to first to wipe them away with a damp cloth. If they're any more stubborn then some white leather cleaner should do the trick.
Ideal for styling across spring-to-autumn, I've spotted a whole host of temping iterations pepper high street and designer brands this season. Read on to discover the trend below, and shop our edit of the best white, off-white and creamy loafers below.
