Casual Shoes: For ladies who like to loaf.


I am one of these ladies, mooching about town on a Saturday and chilled out Sundays sitting back in coffee shop, chatting with the girls is my idea of relaxing. And for this kind of leisure time, high heels are not an option – forget SATC – this is real life Leeds lasses gathering. 

With brogues too formal, ballerinas sometimes too flimsy on the sole and the weather not quite there for espadrilles yet – left with one very stylish option, the loafer. Loafers are a classic look, and back in modern fashion in range different fabrics, patterns and colours to bring them smack into the now.

Slicker than your average in these hot to trot Dalmatian print loafers from New Look, the monochrome mixed with animal print joins two fashions in one .

Draw vintage inspiration from these chic Tassle Loafers by Office. Great for work, these loafers would be perfect with tailored trousers and soft blouse for a feminine feel.


Nude is a colour that remains high in the fashion style stakes so combined with loafer detailing – you would be on to a winner with this offering by Topshop.



And finally, a bit more for a fashion leader than follower, are pastel shades. I love these Pastel Green Loafers by Odeon Shoes. So fresh for the summer, with white jeans, these are totes adorable!
