5 Anti-Trend Work Shoes Fashion Editors Wear All Year Round

@michellelin.linStyle Notes: Loafers infiltrated our wardrobes almost a decade ago in a way previously unseen when Gucci's Jordaan loafers became the flat shoe du jour. Fast forward to today and they're back, with more simplistic, classic styles lending themselves perfectly to workwear.
I'll be building lots of my work outfits around this specific pair this autumn.

@sylviemus_Style Notes: Our reliance on heels has dwindled significantly since lockdown, but there's no denying the joy to be experienced when slipping on a pair—particularly if after-work drinks are on the cards. You needn't opt for skyscrapers; small kitten heels have been having a moment for a while, especially in slingback form. Plus, the strap around the ankle makes them stay on better than other heel styles.
Tick off two trends in one with these loafer-style slingbacks.
So classic, they'll go with everything in your wardrobe.

@giasinatraFrom assistants (here's looking at you, Andy Sachs) all the way up to Anna Wintour, if there's one shoe style that fashion editors genuinely wear for work, it's leather knee-highs. Ideal for the latter half of the year, our editors wear this sleek style with everything from slip skirts and knitted dresses to underneath tailored trousers for a some extra warmth on particularly chilly days.
These also come in a sleek shade of taupe.
Suede boots will always look beautiful worn with lightweight fabrics like chiffon.

@nlmarilynUnderstated, elegant ballet flats are about to be huge this autumn, but fashion types have long remained loyal to them, particularly when workwear comes into play. Unlike other shoe styles, I find that ballet flats pair well with the majority of my trousers, dresses and skirts, making them a go-to in my weekly outfit repertoire.
I own these and love wearing them at home as well as outside, as a chic alternative to slippers.
Why not add a pair of flats in the colour of the season into your workwear mix?

@deborabrosaFollowing a similar thread to that of ballet flats, mary janes may feel very on-trend right now, but fashion people will tell you that this is one shoe that never goes out of style. Choose flats or look for block heels if you prefer your work shoes with a bit of height.
