The loafer has been a staple for many decades. Gucci launched its famous Horsebit style in 1953, and, even more recently, the shoe has been trending as the effortless cool girl’s go-to, with celebrities from the likes of Taylor Swift to Hailey Bieber wearing them in the streets.
Classic and comfortable, loafers remain a worthwhile investment any time of year, but especially for fall, when it’s all about staying comfy and cozy. While you can shop them in many iterations, we’re here for the statement chunky loafer (and the extra height they give) to go with all our autumnal ‘fits — we’re thinking of cottage-core style milkmaid dresses or prep vibes with pleated skirts and knee-high socks. Plus, sturdier treads mean a bit more shock absorption than you’d get in more delicate designs, just in time for colder-weather walkabouts.
From luxury splurges to under-$100 deals, read on for 26 of the best chunky loafers for stomping into the fall season.
