Looking for the best ways to style your new pair of loafers? From casual outfit options to workwear….these are loafers outfits ideas using items you probably already have in your closet!

 I have to admit, this was another one of those 90s trends that I avoided until recently.  Penny loafers (yes, I wore them back in the day too, those heeled loafers we all LOVED).  I thought I'd skip the classic loafer trend this time around, but…..after seeing them again and again….I gave in and bought these chunky loafers.  And you know what? They're in REGULAR rotation for me.  They're super comfortable, and can easily be styled to create a smart casual look for running errands or more of a classic look for brunch with the girls or a day at the office.

I love that these shoes are a great way to change your whole look.  Yes, I love my comfortable shoes and sneakers (shout out to my Rothy's)….but it's amazing how switching out a pair of shoes can totally change a whole outfit look.  Wearing a slightly less casual pair of shoes makes an outfit seem more elevated and can shift a whole look.  I've found myself reaching for these shoes again and again, so……I wanted to share some perfect loafer outfits ideas for every occasion.

A classic and elegant look: to me? The perfect loafers outfit can be as simple as…..a great turtleneck, skinny jeans or wide leg jeans depending on your preference and your pick of your own perfect loafers (just like my first loafers….I'm partial to platform loafers now).                                                                                                                                                                                               Shop these Items:

Midi Dress it up: It may be a little unexpected, but I love love love the look of black or even metallic loafers with a dress (like this plaid nap dress that I love).  You can easily pair that dress with a jean jacket or even a leather jacket for a little edge.  Or another fun option? Do a pencil skirt and tee with that same jacket for some outside the box loafers outfits ideas.                                                                                                                                                          Shop these Items:

Basic Black Outfit with an Edge: You can't go wrong with black jeans and casual loafers.  For a casual day look, I love these wide leg black jeans and graphic tee.  To add a little extra? I do either a white blazer or a plaid blazer.                                                                                                                                                     Shop these Items:

Sweater Vests and Edge: I have to say, I didn't think this would be something I'd wear anytime soon.  I'm more of a cozy sweater girl…..but lately? I've been playing around with how to wear a sweater vest and…..LOVED how this outfit turned out.  I paired these faux leather joggers with a simple black tee and my sweater vest, but you could also do boyfriend jeans or black skinny pants.  Any of these are great, fun and edgy loafers outfits ideas!
