Whether you refer to them as loafers, boat shoes, or something else entirely, they are undoubtedly the footwear of the season. From tailored designs to comfortable slip-ons, these shoes are being showcased in a variety of colors and styles, particularly from Rothy’s, whose loafers are creating quite a stir in NYC. What’s particularly exciting? The ladies are demonstrating that loafers can indeed be worn in the summer, and they are not limited to your autumn wardrobe. Here are some of our favorite ways that NYC women have styled them this week:
1. Match Game: Tan Edition
A coordinated shoe and bag combination is always a reliable choice. She matched her tan loafers with a corresponding bag, completing the outfit with a fitted black denim skirt and white ankle socks. The addition of a denim jacket transforms this into a go-to look for dreary summer days.
2. Statement Socks, Statement Style
With loafers, the socks make a statement, and hers are saying "pop meets prep." She styled her classic black Penny Loafers with white sheer knee-high socks, a black halter top, and a sequined bag. It’s reminiscent of Hannah Montana in the most nostalgic and trendy way.
3. Double Denim, Double Class
You can never go wrong with a denim-on-denim ensemble, especially when your belt complements your loafers. She donned a pocket-detailed top with matching wash jeans, tying the look together with a chestnut brown loafer and belt combination. Elevated, simple, and subtly sophisticated.
4. Summer Whites + Neutral Pop
This ensemble merges bohemian style with a polished aesthetic. She paired crisp summer whites with a thrifted boho-inspired top and brown loafers, creating an air of understated luxury. The neutral footwear, specifically The Penny Loafers in Portobello, contrasts beautifully against the all-white outfit, lending a sense of balance and purpose.
5. Tan Monochrome Mastery
This outfit exemplifies the art of monochrome styling. She experimented with various shades of tan, layering a tee and cardigan in gentle tones, complemented by The Penny loafers. To complete the look, she added a dark brown bag that mirrors the loafers, anchoring the entire ensemble.
