One of the biggest autumn/winter shoe trends of 2025, loafers are back and we can't wait. When it comes to the best shoes to wear with wide-leg trousers or the chicest flat shoes to wear with dresses, loafers are readily top of the lift. Adding a touch of androgyny to even the most feminine of fits, this sleek shoe adds polish to any outfit it's paired with.
If you're thinking about designer iterations, the likes of Tod's, Prada and Miu Miu instantly spring to mind, with the Tod's loafers some of the most iconic in this shoe silhouette. But you don’t have to shell out designer prices to get a high-end look.
That's because H&M have an impressive selection of loafers available online that give you that runway aesthetic for high street prices – and they've got everything from classic styles to more statement designs (think fringing and eyelets), so there's something for everyone.
