Loafers
"Loafers are an easy-to-wear trend that's both comfortable and stylish. I like wearing them, so I was excited to see this trend on the streets of NYC styled with jeans, trousers, and skirts. Socks were optional!" — Koszarek
Trousers
"Trousers continue to trend this season! I spotted them casually paired with sneakers and loafers, proving their versatility. They're quickly becoming my fall go-to pants." — Koszarek
