Now that fall is fully here in the city, stylish New Yorkers are pulling out their storage bins and dusting off their trusted cold-weather footwear in lieu of their minimalist flip-flops and mesh flats. Long gone are the days of a toe-baring summer—instead, New Yorkers are skimping on their pedicure budgets and going back to wearing boots, ballet flats, and, of course, loafers.
While ankle boots have been a fan favorite to wear under jeans or with floor-grazing satin skirts, New Yorkers are instead opting for slim, low-profile loafers to be their fall footwear of choice this season. Whether it's with classic trench coats or ultra-trendy corduroy pants, stylish New Yorkers are leaning more and more toward this comfortable flat shoe trend instead.
