Women’s loafers, in my opinion, are a timeless mainstay in the footwear industry that go beyond passing fads. However, there are a number of varieties within the loafer family that gain popularity every year. For example, we saw the popularity of loafers with hardware embellishments last year, which gave them a glamorous touch. This winter, the elegant square-toe loafers are the main attraction.

Fashionable influencers and celebrities set the rules, not me, and they are demonstrating one by one how popular this professional yet edgy look is. Consider Katie Holmes, who was seen walking around New York City earlier this season while sporting stylish black loafers with square toes. She created a combination that seamlessly blended comfort and style by pairing them with black stockings, a bomber jacket, barrel-leg jeans, and a turtleneck sweater.

Additionally, two of my style muses—one from Canada and one from Europe—have posted square-toe loafers on Instagram. They showed the versatility of this fashion-forward design by pairing these shoes with fitted trousers, long coats and pristine button-down shirts. I can’t forget the powerful Hailey Bieber, who has long worn Jil Sander square-toe loafers. She shows the adaptability of this loafer trend with sheer tights and a flirtatious miniskirt or loose denim

Square-toe loafers are popular because they enhance any attire. These loafers can liven up a casual denim outfit or accent a formal look with their stylish styling and comfy flat design
