I Found the Perfect Loafers For Fall, and They're $40 at Old Navy


In all honesty, I'm entirely new to the loafer trend. I've oohed and ahhed over them on Instagram and TikTok time and time again, but I never actually added them to my shopping cart. That is, until last week, when I came across the Faux-Leather Chunky-Heel Loafer Shoes ($40) at Old Navy. I was drawn to them for many reasons, the biggest ones being they're affordable and equal-parts modern and timeless. They have lug soles similar to ones I've seen on countless celebrities, yet the shape holds true to that of a classic penny loafer. In pursuit of the perfect fall-capsule wardrobe, I scooped them up, knowing damn well that they could sell out in the blink of an eye. Check out my honest thoughts on the affordable footwear find ahead.

What I Like About These Loafers

These loafers are so comfortable that it's hard to believe the price tag - and I'm far from the only Old Navy shopper who thinks this. Scroll through the ratings section on Old Navy's website, and you'll see that nearly every review attests to how comfy they are. The footbed is made of a cushioned woven twill that I was able to wear for the full day without desperately craving to take them off - as is the case with many of my shoes.

Another thing I like about these loafers is their faux-patent shine, which makes them look luxe. I wore them with baggy blue jeans, but I also can't wait to wear them with trousers and miniskirts. PS: if you take a moment to google "patent-leather loafers," you'll find that many similar-looking styles are double - if not triple - the price. (Run, don't walk, people.)

What's Worth Noting

I admit that I acted a *little* too quickly in adding these to my shopping cart and didn't pay close attention to the sizing. If I scrolled to the reviews, I would have noticed that multiple users attested that they ran big. Instead, I jumped up a half size from my usual 9.5, thinking I might want a little extra room for socks. But I ended up getting a whole lot more room than I hoped for - and so I will be exchanging this pair for a half-size smaller. Definitely take note of that before you make the same mistake I did.


Who These Loafers Are Best For

These loafers are perfect for fashion-lovers searching for a high-quality, comfortable, and affordable pair for fall that'll top off all of your autumnal 'fits.

Additional Details

  • These loafers also come in white and burgundy, both of which have a black sole.
  • These loafers come in sizes 6–11.
  • The outsole is made of 51 percent recycled thermoplastic rubber and 49 percent thermoplastic rubber.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
