The season of the loafer — here are the best pairs to invest in this spring

Perfectly preppy and made to match just about everything, the humble loafer is a true staple this season.

Whether it’s a chunky platform or flat sole, matte or patent leather, a classic black or a pop of colour; you simply cannot beat a pair of loafers.

As we start to emerge from the depths of winter,  you may be in the market for a new seasonal style staple to enhance your current rotation of outfits, and loafers are the way to go. Team them with a simple denim for trips to the office, or add a patterned pair of tights and frilly socks to give that date night dress a whole new feel.

Since we are also very much in the market for the perfect pair of loafers, we’ve trawled through the internet to bring you a comprehensive selection of the best out there. Shop our edit below…
