The statement loafers currently trending are bringing me back to my early teens, when I wore a chunky lug sole black loafer from Steve Madden in rather literal homage to Alicia Silverstone. I’m loving this encore. I don’t know that I have the fashion gutsiness to try them with socks comme les street style starlets (e.g., Julie Sargent Ferrerri above) but I am into the idea of pairing them with a bare ankle and my demi-bootcut flares and my Agolde Pinch Waists.
If you want to go investment, I have been seeing these Chanels (Find No 3 below) and these Pradas all over Instagram. Something about the chunky hardware feels suddenly new? You can get the look for less with these (Find No 4 below) or these Madewells (find No 5 below). If you are liking the vibe but a bit intimidated, trying a pair in a neutral color softens the vibe considerably. Along those lines, I am loving this pair from Dolce Vita (Find No 1 below; $100 and incredibly similar to this chic pair from Tory Burch), this $109 pair with the interesting cord trim, and these TBs (Find No 2 below).
