A casual take on loafers

Blue jeans, a Merino sweater, and a pair of sneakers make, without a doubt, a great casual look. But what if you replaced your trusted sneakers with a pair of loafers instead? You will be surprised how easy it is to elevate your outfit by doing so.

Four General Tips for Wearing Loafers with Jeans:

1. For a more casual look, go for materials such as suede or grain leather.

2. Straight-fit jeans with more width in the leg opening provide elegant draping and enhance your overall silhouette.

3. It's easier to combine lighter-coloured loafers with lighter jeans and darker ones with deeper-coloured denim.

4. Since this is a casual take on how to wear loafers with jeans, forget all the style rules and wear them exactly how you want to.

Fabric, texture and colour

Combining a pair of loafers with your favourite jeans is a timeless way of creating a casual, elevated look. You can choose loafers in a more versatile and less formal fabric, such as suede, to match your jeans. You can also play around with different colours and textures on your loafers until you find your perfect match. A pair of medium brown suede loafers goes really well with lighter denim, and a pair of darker loafers in grain calf can easily be combined with denim in a darker blue shade.
