Fall is a time when life seems to speed up just a little. School is starting back up, new projects are appearing, and we can feel the relaxed vibe of late summer days start to dwindle down. It’s a good time to refresh yourself — and your wardrobe — in order to start fresh for the beginning of the new season ahead.
Are you starting to build your fall wardrobe? We’re here to help you curate your collection.
Let’s focus on one of the best shoe trends for women this fall that has been trickling into our ever-expanding footwear collection at Harbour Thread — Loafers.
You may have an understated image of these classic shoes, but as experts in women’s footwear with nearly 20 years of experience, we’re here to give you our top three reasons why loafers are the shoe trend you don’t want to pass up in 2022.
1. They’re versatile
Your shoes can easily make repeat appearances throughout the week, which is why it’s always good to have some solid, go-to options you know will pair with a variety of your outfits.
Although typically seen as a classic preppy footwear option, the humble loafer has evolved to be able to fit into anyone’s personal style. From outfits with school girl mini skirts to business chic blazers for the office, the loafer offers the continuity of a polished look for whatever aesthetic you’re ultimately going for.
One of our new favorite arrivals from boho brand Free People, the Corbin Loafer Clog will elevate any look, offering a classic penny front with a retro wooden platform and effortless slip on style.
2. They instantly make you look put together
Is there a more perfect shoe to easily throw on when you’re running late out the door? The sleek look of a loafer gives a touch of sophistication to any outfit, no matter how much — or how little — effort you put into getting ready for the day.
Even with some of today’s more trendy options offering chunky heels and lug soles, the smart silhouette of a loafer is unmatched when you need to polish up a casual look.
One of our newest styles we just can’t get over is the Velveteen Loafer from the fearlessly fun designer, Jeffery Campbell. With multiple color offerings, the simple silhouette of these solid loafers is adorned with an extra touch of glamor in a sophisticated gold chain.
3. They’re not going anywhere
Although trending for the season, the loafer is a mainstay in women’s fashion. They’ve been a proven look over the decades, and are an easy and stylish option to carry you through the seasons.
A true wardrobe staple, loafers are a purchase you won’t regret investing in as you’ll find yourself able to pair these with your favorite outfits more often than not. More than that, you’ll be relieved to have such a comfortable, reliable and chic shoe on hand for any occasion.
