It seems as if loafers have been around since the beginning of time. Shoppers across the gender spectrum consider this shoe style a classic piece in their wardrobes, and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon. As proven by the street style set and stylish influencers, the "old" loafer shoe trend is officially cool again, but not without the addition of this one accessory—ankle socks.
