The statement loafers currently trending are bringing me back to my early teens, when I wore a chunky lug sole black loafer from Steve Madden in rather literal homage to Alicia Silverstone. I’m loving this encore. I don’t know that I have the fashion gutsiness to try them with socks comme les street style starlets (e.g., Julie Sargent Ferrerri above) but I am into the idea of pairing them with a bare ankle and my demi-bootcut flares and my Agolde Pinch Waists.
If you want to go investment, I have been seeing these Chanels (Find No 3 below) and these Pradas all over Instagram. Something about the chunky hardware feels suddenly new? You can get the look for less with these (Find No 4 below) or these Madewells (find No 5 below). If you are liking the vibe but a bit intimidated, trying a pair in a neutral color softens the vibe considerably. Along those lines, I am loving this pair from Dolce Vita (Find No 1 below; $100 and incredibly similar to this chic pair from Tory Burch), this $109 pair with the interesting cord trim, and these TBs (Find No 2 below).

P.P.P.S. A love letter about my daughter.
I love a good loafer and am so pleased that they’re back with a vengeance this year! In a similar vein, I snagged a pair of Reformation t-strap maryjanes with a lug sole from Net-a-Porter — my take on the trend! I have an extremely thin yet slouchy pair of white socks from France that I’ve seldom worn … I think they could look cool with this silhouette, similar to the woman in the top image. We shall see!

Oo love the ambition! It’s fun to stretch and try new trends. I say go for it!

I adore the loafer in the picture of the girl with the jeans and the tan blazer that is shown twice. Did you link those? Sorry if I missed it!
Hi Mickie! Those are these ones from Dolce Vita — $100!:
