The soft-loafers trend also brings with it a reminder that the shoes you choose in the morning can really impact how the rest of your day will go. Heels that are too high can tire you out, toes that are too sharp will give your pinky toes pain, and leather that is too stiff can create annoying blisters.
With suede loafers, you can skip all of those concerns and spend the rest of your time focusing on the rest of your outfit. Luckily, this shoe style also goes with most things your closet—another reason it’s a style win.
Below, we’ve broken down the trendiest loafer styles for fall 2025. They are:
Let’s start with the most classic and iconic versions, which work best for your dressiest looks. They have a tapered silhouette, ultraflat sole, and sometimes even an elegant buckle to personalize the shoe even more. Look for trendy shades of brown or beige.
Practical and elegant—but also basically a slipper—these are the ideal choice for anyone who doesn’t want to give up the comfort of a house shoe but desires a more sophisticated aesthetic.
Suede driving loafers or boat shoes
With an unlined and extremely flexible design, the driving loafer (or driving moccasin) and boat shoe are perfect for walking. Because of the silhouette, you can move about freely without your foot feeling squeezed or extra pressure.
Boho-style suede moccasins
The soft and very comfortable moccasin is perfect if you love the boho-chic aesthetic that’s currently in style. Wear them with long skirts, knit dresses, or even just a simple pair of jeans. They’ll look great no matter what.
