As autumn arrives, swapping strappy sandals for loafers offers a stylish yet practical update to your wardrobe. Loafers work for colder commutes, pair with both work and weekend outfits, and are a timeless choice for a more polished look.
This season, the high street is focusing on classic colours like burgundy, chocolate brown, and patent black, which are neutral shades that easily match jeans or trousers. There are also animal-print styles in leopard and zebra, plus backless designs that are easy to slip on and off.
