The best Men loafer trends for the Fall/Winter’23

In case you are in the mood for that fancy indoor brunch on a rainy Sunday, here are your winter loafers! As comfortable and laceless as they are, they have always been remarkable from Oxfords and Derbies. Loafers continue to have their ‘delicateness moment’ for a good while now and the best loafers for men feel more hyper-relevant than ever before.

Indeed, loafers are what reminds us of some summer slippers we have been squatting in July while on ‘vaca’. Although still on low heels, winter loafers remain sharp and stylish and surprisingly colorful this season.

That said, Ritzy Shoe still believes that a winter loafer is essential in a man’s wardrobe as it’s specifically well-suited to tailoring and has a much customised formal design; whether its a suede/leather classic penny loafer or horse-bits type. Certainly, as we are stepping into Winter, our gentlemen would go smart and study with their leather pairs more than the suedes, if not for the rainy days INNIT!

So if you’re looking to step into something in the next few months, you’ve come to the right place. From Santoni to Brunello Cucinelli, shop RS’s edit of the best season loafers below. Very careful about the new, colourful in a loafer, this ‘fiver pick’ should help you stick to the right pair(s) for you.

Regardless of your Ritzy style, you won’t hesitate ‘slip-embodying’ one of these prestigious loafers so shop as you desire with Harrods! So, here’s what you should know.
