Selena Gomez Is Already Wearing Leather Loafers Ahead of Fall

I have an entire wardrobe solely dedicated to shoes; it’s bursting at the seams with boots, heels, and sneakers. But there’s one style that I return to on repeat, and Selena Gomez just wore a similar version, proving its greatness.  

Gomez posted an Instagram story this past weekend, showing off a pair of chic black loafers from Charles & Keith — aka a brand Jennifer Lopez wore earlier this year. The pair in question? The Gabine Leather Loafers, which feature interlocked U-shaped buckles, square toes, a dramatic tongue, and a slight heel. Most noticeable, though, is the loafers’ sleek sole, which contradicts the usual chunky and bulky Gen Z styles we often see.

It comes as no surprise that Gomez reached for these shoes; loafers return every fall like clockwork, basically becoming the number one footwear pick for many. If you don’t believe me, just look at Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift as proof, who wear the preppy shoe on repeat. But the shoe’s inevitable yearly comeback is certainly linked to its easy-to-wear silhouette. The sensible, low-to-the-ground build provides a comfortable fit without sacrificing style, much like Steve Madden’s Lando Loafers or this Vagabond Jillian pair, which are on sale and are almost a spot-on version of Gomez’s shoes.

Loafers aren’t only practical and simple to wear, but they’re also versatile, making them great for all four seasons and just about any occasion. Wear a gold-tone hardware version, like these from Courtgo Penny Loafers, sans socks the way Gomez wore hers and pair them with shorts or a mini skirt on a warmer day. When the weather starts to drop, throw on some tube socks with a cardigan for a cozy, effortless vibe, or wear a pair of thin stockings and an even slimmer square-toe shoe, like Franco Sarto’s Tiari Loafers, for a polished, put-together outfit that’s great for a dinner date.
