In my quest for a pair of comfortable & polished loafers, I came across some designer beauties that stopped me in my tracks. The velvet finish & gold bow detail strike the perfect balance between masculine & feminine + the rich burgundy hue is ideal for wearing all season long. But since I couldn’t justify spending over $600 on shoes, I continued to search until I tracked down a couple of similar styles for less (which are just as enticing). I’d pair these pretty flats with a chunky cable-knit sweater & boyfriend jeans or with a bouclé moto jacket & black skinny pants.
