REFERENCE! Initially, loafers were rough shoes for sailors. They got the name from the word loafer, which means a loafer. So called the sailors who, after the next voyage, led a wild life on land.
With pants
Brown shoes blend perfectly with black or white trousers, skinny trousers, and an open ankle. Wearing loafers with a blouse and trousers, you get an image for work. And replacing the blouse with a t-shirt and leather, you can go for a walk. The now popular palazzo pants or culottes will not work. But light skinny jeans or mom jeans are just that.
Brown color of any shade always harmoniously looks with denim. The main thing is that the trousers are narrowed and open the ankle, then the relief of the shoes will complement the minimalism of the trousers.
TIP! Blue shirt + gray jacket + jeans + brown loafers = look for work without a strict dress code. And if after work you need to take a walk with friends or go to the movies, just take off your jacket and loose your hair, if they were collected.
With skirts and dresses
Loafers are combined with skirts, if you follow 3 recommendations:
- models close in design to men's shoes, combine with loose midi-length skirts;
- A pencil skirt is combined with either a tractor sole or a heel. Flats or men's designs will not work;
- with short skirts, combine any kind of loafers, except for men's-style shoes. Although no one will forbid you from this, and you can experiment.
With dresses, too, not everything is so scary. For evening outs, loafers are unlikely to work. But shoes with rough soles will perfectly fit the look with a delicate, flowing dress. Dresses of strict style and in restrained tones - black, blue, gray, will look with loafers in heels.
Business style
After the Gucci presentation in 1966, buckle loafers, they became an element of a business men's style. Over time, they got into the women's wardrobe and also complement the business image of the weaker sex just as well.
A priori business style provides basic, non-flashy colors and a minimum of prints. For a woman in a strict business dress, the best solution is heeled loafers without unnecessary decor. Frankly, the tractor sole, tassels and fringe are unacceptable. These nuances also apply to looks with trousers, shirts and strict blouses.
