The One Shoe That Will Instantly Elevate Leggings

If you’re looking for a pair of shoes that pretty much go with anything, loafers are it. They can dress up any ‘fit, which surprisingly includes athleisure. You may not have thought about slipping on a pair of loafers with sweats, but add them to a matching set, and your look is instantly elevated. Try a pair with a slight platform for some lift, or go for a sleeker look with flat soles. Track pants with chunky loafers are a great combo for a menswear-inspired look, especially when added to a zip-up hoodie. And for a more feminine feel, try wearing penny loafers with flared yoga pants.

Loafers in classic black are always a safe and great choice, but we love all the fun, colorful options there are out there. Coach’s Leah Loafer has a gorgeous navy-blue denim fabric and boasts thick soles, while Bandolino’s Lindio patent-leather mauve loafers will jazz up any outfit. If you’re more of a neutral gal, Cole Haan’s Women’s Stassi Penny Loafer is a dreamy soft gold and is sure to be your new favorite wear-with-anything shoe. With all the endless ways to style loafers, we bet they’ll be the first footwear you reach for, no matter what your OOTD is.
