No Cap, You Can Wear These Chunky Loafers With Every Single Outfit

It's not every day you find a pair of shoes that you can wear from a work drink to cocktails to your alt friend's clothing sale — and actually like it. That's where these chunky, comfortable loafers come in. This particularly footwear silhouette has both professional and chic vibes that'll make you feel put-together every time you leave the house. They also go with everything, so you don't have to worry about your outfit clashing, and you can even snag heeled, flat, and platform versions to fit your exact comfort and height preferences.

Loafers are arguably one of the most timeless shoes out there. They were reportedly first created in the 1930s after a Norwegian shoe maker was inspired by Indigenous people's moccasins. The style reached widespread Western popularity in the '50s and has lost none of its hold on fashion. From the yuppies of the '80s to grunge rockers in '90s, loafers have maintained their must-have status all the way to the present. In recent years, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, and Gucci have featured the style on their runways.

If you're looking for a new shoe trend that goes with every outfit in your closet, you're going to need at least one of the pairs of chunky loafers below. With these, the only thing stopping you from becoming the stylish professional of your dreams is you.
