There’s no doubt about it. As soon as the first hint of blossom is on the trees and slightly lighter mornings are here, we’re ready to hit spring mode. Seeing spring/summer 2022 trends flooding the new-in sections is enough to get us excited, and we can’t help but daydream about ditching the multiple winter layers. Until it gets warmer, though, we have to all ease towards the new season with baby steps. You know, swap your faux-fur coat for a trans-seasonal trench. Replace cosy cashmere sweaters in favour of lighter, fine knits. And then there are the boots. While we’ve loved wearing everything from chunky Chelsea boots to glossy heeled knee-highs for the cooler months, we’re ready to embrace all the new shoe trends. Enter loafers.
While we’re not quite ready to show off our fresh (most likely white), spring-ready pedi in toe-baring sandals, loafers feel like the right step towards embracing the new season. Because it’s still chilly, our fashion friends have been daring enough to flash an ankle but clever enough to all style loafers the same way: with leg-covering trousers. There’s something effortlessly stylish about pairing loafers with jeans or wide-leg tailored trousers. And if you’re not quite ready to get any body part out just yet, you can wear them with socks, too. Without further ado, these are seven loafer-and-trouser combinations you can wear already.
