The Most Popular Shoe of the Moment Is Actually a Flat

Loafers Shoe Trend 2016

The Most Popular Shoe of the Moment Is Actually a Flat

View in slideshow

If you're someone who dreads the thought of slipping into sky-high heels, not to worry: the most popular shoe of the moment is actually a flat. Loafers have taken street style by storm and are frequently spotted on bloggers, It models, and actresses while they're out and about. Better yet? This fancy-yet-comfy footwear option — which was pretty popular for Fall '16 — will still be in style come Spring, meaning it's worth it to invest in a quality pair ASAP.

From jeans to skirts to tailored pants, there are more than a few ways to wear this classic shoe. Gather some loafer style inspiration ahead, then shop an option that catches your eye.
