Neel I could only link to one of your outfits but your loafers styled casually looked great!</p> <p>Unfrumped, I love what you suggested about tapered pants and your idea of creating a capsule that you know looks good with those shoes. I also discovered that my ballet flats were tough to run to the bus in because they don't stay on my feet quite as well as the loafers!</p> <p> Angi e your guideline is also helpful about the ankle skin. That makes perfect sense.</p> <p>MsMary, I like your idea of pairing with jeans on the weekend. I bought the loafers for work, doesn't mean I can't wear them on the weekend!</p> <p>Always trying, i also haven't worn mine much, despite their comfort and mine are actually black. It's interesting that navy worked better for you. I wonder if my eye is still adjustjng to the look of a slightly chunked shoe for spring. On me they are high contrast because I have skinny white legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-with-loafers#post-1260165 Sat, 24 May 2014 17:17:24 +0000 rachylou 1260165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must be learning because I thought what Angie said (!) Hehe.</p> <p>I wouldn't wear classic loafers, esp. with classic trousers, to the office. Too... casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-with-loafers#post-1260116 Sat, 24 May 2014 16:09:01 +0000 MsMary 1260116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear mine to work, but I wear them constantly on the weekend with my boyfriend jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-with-loafers#post-1260115 Sat, 24 May 2014 16:06:16 +0000 unfrumped 1260115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said and Always trying. </p> <p>I made an effort to style some things around loafers, meaning I added or re-purposed pants I thought would work with them, along the lines suggested, and created a&nbsp; &nbsp;loafer-skirt capsule that I think is acceptable, because of the potential for high foot comfort--loafers have more support than a ballet flat and a roomier toe box than pointy and are more summery than booties and so on.&nbsp; Bought 6 pairs of nude knee-highs! So I was motivated to use the trend even short-term to get more options for long-day on your feet shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-with-loafers#post-1260045 Sat, 24 May 2014 14:28:32 +0000 always trying 1260045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought white loafers thinking I would wear them a lot.&nbsp; I have had them since mid March and have not been wearing them as much as I thought.&nbsp; Only wore them with white jeans, lite wash denim, and one pair of lite blue crops.&nbsp; Somehow they do not look good , to me, with dark bottoms.&nbsp; Have new navy loafers and wore them 3 times in a week., with jeans, crop khakis, and dressier cobalt pants.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think loafers are not as big a trend as predicted because, for one thing, as </p> <p>you&nbsp;stated they can look frumpy with dress pants.&nbsp; I think they can unless they are tighter leg crops, or narrow leg ankle pants.&nbsp; With the wider leg or even with skirts (unless very short ones) they look dated-so thus give a frumpy feel.</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-with-loafers#post-1260043 Sat, 24 May 2014 14:27:23 +0000 Angie 1260043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need to show ankle skin with loafers. Treat them like ballet flats.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-with-loafers#post-1259983 Sat, 24 May 2014 12:23:37 +0000 MRL 1259983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear loafers with skinny jeans and pants as well as ankle pants and crops. I have also found that they look too "blah" when paired with classic trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-with-loafers#post-1259981 Sat, 24 May 2014 12:22:42 +0000 kkards 1259981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this might be a good&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://http//youlookfab.com/2014/02/25/trend-modern-classic-loafers/">starting point</a>. &nbsp;if your office, like mine, does not allow jeans, try substituting skinny or straight leg trousers, like the gap straight leg khakis. also look at MsMary's posts, she has a pair of white loafers, and i'm sure she must have posted a work outfit featuring them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-with-loafers#post-1259953 Sat, 24 May 2014 11:19:55 +0000 unfrumped 1259953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on classic trousers. I tend to try to juxtapose loafers with pants that are tapered and long( scrunched over ankle- foot), tapered and cropped( see many discussions on length), track pants( " dressy" for work) and some skirts- these are tricky for me &amp; I have some combos that work &amp; some that don't. Then I'm trying to pair my trousers with pointy toe flat or chunky heel or more of a bootie. This can be more challenging in summer. For white loafer I'd think about skirts, since then shoe is lower contrast with leg,, or lighter colored tapered pants- I don't wear white but would wear light gray or some other light neutrals. A slightly darker neutral( gray or camel or nude or pewter) is easier for me to use with darker pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-with-loafers#post-1259916 Sat, 24 May 2014 06:48:16 +0000 Neel 1259916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything!!

I have a pair of black loafers that I love but I rarely wear them because I don't know what to pair with them. For some reason, they feel frumpy when I pair them with my classic dress pants. What would you wear with the black loafers? I commute on foot and by bus so stylish walkable shoes are a must :)<br /> Thanks very much! </p>
