13 best loafers to elevate your spring style – affordable picks for every budget
Spring is springing! The sun is shining, flowers are blooming, and temperatures are gradually rising – which means we’re eagerly packing away our winter wardrobes! The shoe of the season this spring? Of course, it's the humble loafer. A perfect blend of comfort and style, loafers are the answer to all our commuting and workwear prayers, wrapped up in a simple, chic and all-day-wear silhouette.
From jeans and trousers to skirts, dresses, and even shorts, they’re one of the most versatile and hardworking pieces in our wardrobes, no matter the season. Say goodbye to painfully high heels or overly casual (but comfy!) trainers – the loafer is the effortless way to stay stylish without sacrificing foot health.
Need we say more? Below are our top picks for every budget, style, and occasion.
The best loafers to buy for spring 2025
Basic Loafer
At £20 you're getting some serious style at an impressive price point. These New Look loafers have your classic Penny Loafer style silhouette thanks to the rounded toe and ruching.
Alex W Loafers
Vagabond is renowned for its quality leather footwear, so you know you're getting good-quality pieces when you shop from them. The Alex W Loafers are particularly timeless, providing the perfect level of bulk without feeling OTT.
Leathers Loafers
M&S' everyday wear is not something to pass over. We love these sleek and streamlined penny loafers with elegant ruching and low-stacked heels for everyday wear.
Dartmoor
Don't feel the need to stick to all-black loafers: opt for warm shades from browns and burgundies if you find yourself leaning to lighter colours in your wardrobe, as these can be more wearable with pinks, greens and light denim.
