There's something so nostalgic about pairing your leather loafers with a pair of socks. While '90s shoe trends [1] are still very much relevant, I'm most excited about seeing the latest revival: pairing cozy socks and my favorite leather shoes — loafers. While everyone has been styling their Dr. Martens with high socks [2], allow me to turn your attention to loafers. Whether it's styling a pair of striped socks with gorgeous vintage Chanel loafers that are dreamy as heck or opting to style plain leather ones with white high socks, the options are endless.
I particularly love that I can now wear my go-to fall shoes well into winter and spring. Emma Chamberlain loves this trend [3], and I love how she styled hers with a turtleneck and nostalgic beaded necklace, too. Ahead, have a look at some pairings that very well might inspire you to give this trend a try. If you're convinced and wondering where to shop these classic loafers, I've created a list of some of my favorite shoes, ranging from Zara to Gucci.
