@francescasaffariWith their classic charm and minimalist versatility, loafers, from the original Gucci Horsebit Loafer to the more modern, chunky-sole versions from Prada, are still an undeniably appealing addition to our autumn wardrobe all these years later. If you choose (wisely) to invest in a luxury pair, you can be sure the cost-per-wear will tick down steadily over the many years you own them (that's Girl Maths). But there are also some excellent, more affordable, iterations on the high street now too. Just be sure to opt for real leather and they'll age gracefully alongside you.
Keep scrolling, and you'll not only find a thorough (trust us, we've scrolled through them all) list of the best loafers out there for autumn 2023, but there's also some chic loafer outfits to inspire you for the season as well. You're welcome!

@brittanybathgateThis is a masterclass in using loafers for a modern tailored look.
Prada loafers are notoriously difficult to get hold of but these are available in most sizes!
It's something a bit more statement than the Gucci horse-bit loafer.
You can't beat Gucci Horsebit-Detailed loafers. They're recognisable worldwide as a cult shoe. The Jordan is Gucci's slimmer horse-bit loafer.
Penny loafers are so charming. Crafted from glossed leather, these will last seasons beyond.
Russell and Bromley should be your go-to if you're looking for good-quality loafers that don't boast a high-end price tag.
Gucci's preppy iteration has been a popular choice since the '50s.
Another Gucci loafer with some added height.
Yes, they're an investment, but The Row loafers have serious fashion credentials.
The chunky gold embellishment and braided details bring an added element to a classic design.
The styling on e-com is the perfect way to wear these shoes in the winter.
This new take from Loewe is perfect for the colder months ahead.
The angular details on this are characteristically Khaite.
With a glossy lacquer, block heel and cushioned insole, you can stay comfy and on-trend with these All Saints Emily loafers.
The contrasting textures give these warm loafers a vintage feel.
I love the Scandi spin, and the subtle gold embossing of the Toteme name.
If you're looking for a variation of colourways, this sandy hue (in suede no less) will uplift winter looks.
Softly blurring the lines between flats and heels, this COS offering boasts a square toe and kitten heel. They might have a dainty heel but they're too cute not to include them!
