How to Wear Loafer Pumps
- Finish a layering. Get inspired by Alexa Chung´s outfit, a floral brocade dress layered over an embroidered shirt teamed with matching loafer pumps. You can play it reversed too, a mono dress over a printed long sleeves. Make sure to pick the color of your loafers somewhere in the print.
- With a dress. Whether it´s a floral or dotty dress your digging this season, or a graphic colorblocked dress, amp up the look with a pair of loafer platform pumps. Go for a black or nude loafer to temper a printed dress or a colored, striking loafer to level up a monochromatic look.
- With a coat. Two of the runway photos above featuring coat and pants layering are great inspirations on how to wear loafers on cold days.
