Hannah Weil — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:24:58 PST

In case you haven't noticed, loafers have made quite the comeback this Fall - not to fear, their resurgence is a lot cooler than the penny loafers we remember from middle school. Instead of school-uniform basics, these kicks have been updated with studs, leopard print, and eye-catching tassels. If you've already snagged a pair, that's half the battle. Of course, how you add them to your look is another thing entirely. To get the creative juices flowing, and to save you from any outfit boredom, we've culled seven stylish celebs to inspire our loafer-clad looks for one whole week. Click through to see how they style up their slip-ons, then shop the key pieces to channel the looks you love.

Midi skirts and floral prints have made us fans of the ladylike look, now we're taking the next, ahem, step with our footwear. To outfit the trend in full, we're looking to loafer pumps to finish our skirts, dresses, and even trousers with sophistication. With a heel, loafers lend that vintage-inspired polish we've garnered from icons like Katharine Hepburn. Now, slipping into our loafer pumps punctuates our retro style perfectly, with just a hint of modern sensibility via a metallic finish on a pair from Alexander Wang or a great leopard print on Tory Burch's covetable version. There are more than a couple to choose from, just click through our editors' picks to find and shop your favorite style.

Fall's menswear-inspired brogue trend is at an all-time high thanks to all of the cute styles currently available online and in stores.

Loafers Are Fall's Perfect Transitional Shoe

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 06:35:28 PDT

Loafers have experienced a major resurgence thanks to designers like Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, and Nicholas Kirkwood, who showed them on their Fall runways - and the trend is only getting stronger. Whether you prefer them stacked or flat, we think they're the perfect transition shoe leading up to chillier weather. For the ultimate nerdy-chic look, pair loafers with cuffed jeans and a blazer for a casual off-duty vibe, or go for extra throwback drama and don them with a tweedy pencil skirt and a flowy tucked-in blouse. Flip through to see our top loafer picks right now from Topshop, Tory Burch, ASOS, and more.

Look of the Day: Loafin' Around

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 03:17:08 PDT

What I love most about this cute look from steffysprosandcons isn't her fun black floral dress, cool structured satchel, or cozy knit beret - even though they're all fantastic. What I love most about her look is her pair of chunky black loafers - I remember owning a similar pair and wearing them with practically everything. I love seeing pieces come back around, and the way this chic Fab reader styled up her thick-heeled kicks is truly perfect for Spring.

Congrats steffysprosandcons!

Celebrity Trend Alert: Loafers Are Back!

Hannah Weil — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 03:33:47 PST

The classic look loafers gave to your school uniforms is now the polish they lend to balance your effortlessly cool basics. It's an update on the old-school favorite that makes them a lot cooler than they were in grade school. This time, pair yours with skinny denim, cargos, or leather pants, and forget the regulation-length pleats. For inspiration, we're looking to some of our favorite celebrity influences, like Natalia Vodianova, Nicole Richie, Olivia Palermo, and Jessica Alba who stepped out rocking their preppy versions with relaxed staples, casual layers, and femme contrasts in mini dresses and lace tops. This is exactly how we plan to wear the trend for Spring, letting our edgier separates play perfect opposites against the classic kicks.

A Fabby Halloween: Michael Jackson

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:50:22 PDT

No doubt, the King of Pop (RIP) will be a popular choice for Halloween this year. Who doesn't want to emulate such saucy style and cool character? Channeling your inner Micheal Jackson requires androgynous dressing: a white tee, loose cropped trousers, a drummer jacket - local thrift stores are filled with treasures from this era. Don't forget essential accessories like white socks, a black fedora, and trademark silver sequin glove. I'm bad, you know it . . .

Just can't get enough?Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Trend Alert: Black Patent Loafers

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:00:22 PDT

Mossie sure knows how to make a statement with her feet; notice her black patent loafers. Kate in head-to-toe black in nothing new, but she ups the style ante with a double dose of shine and menswear charm. I wear my oxfords contrasted with a frilly dress, or torn up jeans, or you can do like Kate and don cropped pants for a sassy money look.

Trend Alert: Lofty Loafers

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 06:00:08 PST

Zoom straight to the bottom half of Nicky Hilton's ensemble and check out her lofty loafers. These comfy yet curiously cool shoes have been redesigned for the hipster girl. I like how loafers give off a smart, Euro vibe; it must be that whole Johnny Depp thing. They go great with jeans, shorts, and even dresses. I actually own a pair and wear them with skinny jeans and a floaty top for a cute boho-meets-boy look.

The Look For Less: Yves Saint Laurent Pointed Toe Loafer Pumps

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 03:00:22 PDT

I wasn't sure if the whole loafer trend was right for me, but I recently snagged a great deal on a pair at a thrift store. They're a beautiful camel color and surprisingly comfortable. Now, I have my eyes on these Yves Saint Laurent Loafer Pumps ($440). The sharp pointed toe gives them a sexy edge and the hidden platform front will keep my toes comfy all day long. Only problem with these babies is their price tag.

To see the look for less,
