Loafers haven’t been around for a while. Sure, they kind of bubble up as one of those wardrobe basics we will always feel passionate about, but they haven’t really been in the fashion spotlight for a while. Back in 2015, it was Gucci’s Horsebit backless loafers that became the ubiquitous shoes of the season thanks to Alessandro Michele’s new reign at the fashion house. Then after that initial buzz, which did admittedly last a couple of years (and the style still stands up today as a modern classic), everything went a little quiet on the loafer front. Now, in 2024, they’re everywhere again, and this time nearly every designer you can think of is taking part. Well, dear readers, I think I’ve found the ultimate designer loafers to beat all others: the Chanel loafers.
While I’m absolutely convinced my next pair of shoes has to be the chunkier versions, the more delicate stylings might grab your attention. Keep scrolling to see the Chanel loafers the fashion set is loving and then continue on to see the other loafers we’d invest in as well.
