An often-understated shoe, the classic loafer never fails to let us down. Serving style and comfort, it is up there with our top 3 Autumn/Winter wardrobe essentials along with a chunky knit and an oversized coat. Whether you’re popping out to grab your daily caffeine fix or still making the trip into work, we’ve compiled 4 loafer led outfits that will provide you with all the inspiration you may need.
URBAN UNIFORM
Let’s be honest, we’ve all become too familiar with the lounge set during lockdown and here at 4
th we think it’s about time we revamped our everyday wardrobes. Let’s put the
joggers away and bring those jeans back into the light and let our day-to-day dressing go from borderline slob and see it’s return to seriously stylish. Switch up your usual trainer and let a loafer elevate your look, the ideal slip on shoe that will have you running about ticking things off your to do in no time.
Here at 4
th we suggest opting for a practical pair of dark wash jeans for those everyday errands. Style with a super soft bralet such as our HENRY crop top
available here, ideal for those days when you don’t need the effort of a bra. Perfect for layering under our TULA blazer, which is
available here, this throw it on fit will rid you of any outfit stress when your rushing out the house. Finish with our WHITNEY loafers
available here where the gold chain adds that little something extra.
BUSINESS CASUAL
With many of us working from home, the lines between office dressing and pyjama party have officially been crossed and we’re not sure there’s any going back. Gone are the days of the office heel and we are welcoming the era of Zoom appropriate business on top and anything goes on the bottom. For those odd days where you might need to brave the workplace, the loafer is the perfect partner that won’t have you pushing too many boundaries from your usual stay at home get up.
We are loving the neutral trend going around at the moment and our LENNON blazer
available here and matching trousers
available here are a match made in heaven. A relaxed suit is ideal for those office occasions where you want to impress but not overdress. Stand out from the Autumn scenery in this dreamy fit and style with a cream loafer such as our WHITNEY
available here. Accessorise in gold to match the hardware detailing for a complete head to toe look.

SUNDAY STROLL
Autumn is in full swing and with leaving the house now a limited activity, those crisp walks in the park and to the nearest coffee shop are the only things that are keeping us sane. Now the one chance other than our food shop to dress like a semi-human, we are making the most of it. Instead of grabbing your worn-out trainers ad your go-to hoodie, select a slightly smarter shoe that won’t leave your feet rubbed and raw. Layer with knits and weather appropriate outerwear for an outdoorsy outfit that will have you looking cute and comfortable.
It’s not quite winter yet and whilst we can still get our legs out in a last-ditch attempt to catch those final rays of sun, you best believe we will. We suggest pairing our SLOANE short available here with our KAYA chunky loafer available here, the added height lengthening those pins. We suggest styling with our EFFY jumper available here and add our CARTER coat available here to keep you wrapped up and looking gorgeous. Don’t forget to add your favourite chunky scarf and matching hat for transitional luxe.

COMFY WITH A TWIST
Comfort is now key, and jeans are a thing of the past. Whilst our social lives are put on pause and the only interaction we have is through distanced chats on the street, our outfits need to be on point. Leave the socks and slides where they should stay (indoors and out of sight!) and style up your go-to oversized sweater and get ready to head out. A loafer is the perfect way to improve any casual outfit, footwear can sometimes be an afterthought but trust us when we say it makes all the difference.
One of our all-time favourites for dressing up those casual fits is by adding a blazer on top. Try pairing our CAMILLE check blazer available here with our super-soft NATALIA sweatshirt available here. Just add some skinny leather trousers such as our FALCON available here for that added edge and one seriously on trend outfit. Whereas summer is all about the chunky sandals, Autumn calls for a chunky loafer; just add our KAYA shoe available here and your good to go.
