Suddenly, Everyone's Clicking on This Autumnal Flat Shoe Trend—Here Are My Faves

Whilst summer’s long days and warm nights will always feel special—for me, it’s the crisper, cooler and cosier season of autumn that will always be my favourite. Beyond the beauty of the colder season, autumn stands above the rest for its broader range of sartorial options. No longer restricted to sandals and slides, the cooler months offer a fuller range of styling options that can facilitate my desire to experiment with fashion.

Eager to expand my styling options, this year I’m shopping some of autumn’s key trends ahead of its advent. And, first on my list is the suede loafer trend.

As integral to an autumn wardrobe as boots are to a winter one, the loafer trend is an enduring staple that comes back year after year. Whilst I’ll always have a soft sport for the hardy leather styles that have been in my wardrobe for seasons, this year it’s the soft and supple suede pairs that are stealing my affection.

Lighter than their shiny sisters, suede loafers are ideal for closing the gap between summer and autumn style. Comfortable and flexible, the supple suede composition allows the shoes to quickly mould to you feet—ensuring a comfortable stride from the get go.

Already on shoppers minds, we’ve noticed particular interest in a new-season pair from high street retailer H&M. In a light brown shade these £55 loafers have been selling quickly, are are destined to be out of stock by September.

Beyond H&M’s trending pair, high street are designer brands are introducing the growing trend into their collections at pace. From The Row’s sleek almond-toe style to Massimo Dutti’s pleated pair, there are endless compelling options to discover this season.
