LOAFERS should be your stylish staple shoe, whether you don impressive sock combos or wear them solo.

They’re the shoe that can suave up any given ensemble – even dad jeans can look boujee with the right loafer.

Are men's loafers in style?

From fur Gucci loafers to monogram Fendi ones, luxury labels have some serious styles on show right about now that are in style.

But don't worry if you don't have a designer bank balance, the high street has some just as cool alternatives.

Teaming a pristine pair of socks with loafers and chinos is a reliable look, ideal for smart dress codes and street style swagger alike.

Even without socks, they're just as smart – take it from boxer champion and heartthrob Anthony Joshua, who dons them with suits.

What do men wear with loafers?

Versatility is a vital feature of a man’s wardrobe and these are more than that – loafers go with chinos or jeans and even shorts in summer.

Into tassels? We’ve got some styles for you. Love velvet? You as well. Suede? That too.
