I’m constantly on the hunt for casual shoes that aren’t sneakers—and they get bonus points if they’re slightly elevated. Accordingly, loafers have become my go-to shoe for the office and dinners out in NYC—and I was recently inspired by a new take on the shoe trend. Last week, Alix Earle wore a pair of burgundy penny loafers in an Instagram post, pairing the sophisticated shoes with chunky socks, black tights, and a long black coat. The rich-looking shoes added a pop of color to her otherwise neutral outfit.

The influencer’s selfie immediately reminded me of Kendall Jenner’s look from last March, in which she paired burgundy loafers with blue jeans and a red blazer. The two looks prove that burgundy loafers are versatile enough for day-to-night wear, so I ran to my favorite retailers to snag a pair. Ahead, shop the best options I found from $43. 

6 Winter-Chic Loafers

Nine West Berg Loafers

Amazon

The Nine West Beg Loafers have a marbled finish that sets them apart from the competition, plus a one-inch heel that adds a bit of height. They’re perfectly in between a sleek flat and a lug-sole loafer, so their styling possibilities are nearly endless.

Franco Sarto Carolynn Tassel Loafers

Amazon

The Franco Sarto tassel loafers are slightly retro, with a patent-leather finish, chunky lug-sole, and silver detailing at the heel. They’d pair well with chunky socks à la Earle, although they’re versatile enough to wear with jeans, too. 

Børn Sigge Lug-Sole Loafers

Nordstrom

Chunky loafers are preferred for many reasons: They add height, balance out heavier outfit pieces, and tend to perform better in adverse weather. Unlike many burgundy lug-sole loafers, this Børn pair features a coordinating colored sole. Best of all, they’re comfortable straight out of the box, according to reviewers.

Jeffrey Campbell Loafed Loafer

Revolve

Jeffrey Campbell makes the most gorgeous iterations of classic styles, and these loafers are no exception. They’re jaw-droppingly sleek with a curved almond toe and low-profile silhouette. Gold hardware gives them a luxe vibe, making them perfect for both formal and casual wear. Unsurprisingly, some sizes are already selling out—so be sure to snag them while you still can. 

Steve Madden Madison Burgundy Box Leather Loafers

Steve Madden

Inspired by Jenner’s loafers? This $100 Steve Madden pair is nearly identical. They’re timeless, sleek, and super low-profile, so they’ll complement your winter outfit without stealing the show. They’re also available in black, olive, and leopard.

Topshop Clover Leather Loafers

ASOS

I love these Topshop loafers’ unique upper, which extends toward the ankle like the tongue of a sneaker. It gives them a luxury look without the hefty price tag. Plus, the pinched apron detailing is reminiscent of Earle’s pair. They’re made of genuine leather and feature a rubber sole that provides great traction for all-day wear.
