We’re officially in the thick of fall, and while other styles might get most of the spotlight, this season’s loafer trends might just convince you to put your autumn boots on the back burner. Many pairs of loafers can be stiff and formal—but thanks to 2025’s obsession with soft suede and extra-slim shoe silhouettes, our current favorites lean laid-back. (Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner approve.) No other shoe balances dressy elegance and youthful energy quite like loafers, which are just as easy to style with a trench coat and a miniskirt as with a full suit or an occasion dress. So go ahead and shop our trend edit below—your fall and winter looks depend on it.

1. Suede loafers

Dubbed soft loafers, these styles have one thing in common: They’re all rendered in suede, fall’s absolute trendiest material. Where traditional leather requires a mandatory break-in period, suede doesn’t, meaning you can count on comfort right out of the box. Plus, they’ll effortlessly match your go-to suede bag or jacket. Win-win!

Thanks largely to The Row’s super-popular loafers, versions of which have been spotted on the likes of Zoë Kravitz and Kendall Jenner, pinched leather has become all the rage among the fashion crowd this season. The ruched toe boxes are another style that playfully subverts the classic loafer design, offering an unfussy ease that helps soften more masculine tailoring. And no matter your budget, there’s a pair in our edit made for you.

Jennifer Lawrence, the arbiter of quiet luxury, has spoken: Moccasin shoes are the next big thing. Sort of a cross between loafers and boat shoes, these flats have long been popular as slippers—but they’re getting a major revamp for fall and winter. Chunky loafers are out—this extra-slim style is a perfect example of the low-to-the-ground footwear that’s dominating the trend cycle this season. Styled with tube socks, a midiskirt, and an autumn jacket, they’re chic and comfortable in equal measure. Reach for your pair when you need a style that’s more considered than sneakers, but just as easy to wear.
