Step into these must-have shoes! 👞

There are few shoe styles that can be considered just as versatile as white sneakers or Chelsea boots, but the loafer is one of them! They're simple, stylish, and comfy, too. Plus, they can be worn with everything from denim to dresses. Seriously. Pair them with slacks and blazers for a sophisticated work outfit or slip them on with your little black dresses for a fresh, trendy, and chic take on a classic look. They'll look good with skirts of all lengths (mini, midi, and maxi) and jeans of all fit (skinny jeans, flare jeans, high-waisted jeans, and boyfriend jeans). Yes, you can even wear them with leggings! Do you see where we're going with this? Basically, you can't go wrong. Especially with these best loafers for women.

We've rounded up several styles of loafers for you to add to your closet. There's the simple penny loafer, elevated platform loafers, a beloved kiltie loafer, stylish mule loafers and everything in between. Choose shoes with fancy gold bit details or traditional tassels and fringe. No matter which you go with, it's easy to dress them up or down depending on your outfit. You'll also be happy to know that all-day wear is no match for the comfort provided by these designs. Many of them have specs like padded soles and are even specifically made to do away with a "break-in" period. So, go ahead and scroll here to pick your pair. And here's a cute styling tip: wear them with crew to knee-high socks or tights for a fun fashion statement.

Known for their exceptional comfort, this flat loafer can be worn all day every day without any aches or irritation—and will look good with anything, too. They have comfortable insoles and durable outsoles with a soft and flexible upper back that means you won't need to break them in. Plus, they're knit from plastic bottles and are fully machine washable.

Reminiscent of the '90s in the absolute best way, this playful pick keeps the iconic penny-keeper strap detail and glossy patent finish while adding a bold chunky platform and heel combo. And don't forget functionality that comes from a sturdy lug sole and padded footbed.

This one is described as "your soon-to-be fave," and we couldn't agree more! Not only will you be walking comfortably on MWL Cloudlift Lite padding, but just look at the two-toned neutral coloration of smooth leather and chunky lug soles. The puffer keeper strap adds the cutest touch, too.

That gleaming gold hardware and patent finish perfectly mixes polished style with pizzaz in these retro-inspired loafers. That continues with the lifted block heel and platform sole that's still comfy thanks to a cushioned footbed.

If you're going for the comfort of a loafer, but still want an elevated look, let us introduce you to this pair. It's ultra-lightweight with contour+comfort technology and a durable lug sole but adds welt stitch details, a round toe, and chunky silhouette for a little kick.

The kiltie loafer is a classic with its sleek design and added fringe flair. This top rated pair holds true to that notion with its menswear-inspired style. Added oomph comes from the shiny exterior, slight platform sole, and cushioned insole.

The best loafers have a timeless and sophisticated look to them—much like these lovely penny loafers. Hand-sewn from one piece of polished leather, they're made to last and provide utmost comfort. There's a padded and breathable ortholite comfort insole, a slip resistant rubber sole, and no "break-in" period.

The addition of a bit decorative element is the best way to add a chic touch to a classic style. A leather exterior, sleek sole, and almond-toe shape takes it even further. To make it even better: A padded insole makes it just as comfortable as it is stylish.

Grab this pair and you'll reach greater heights—both figuratively and literally. Even with the eye-catching chunky block heel, the shoe was designed to feel good with a sturdy lug sole for traction, padded footbeds, and extra flexibility.

Alex Drummond shared her favorite loafers on Instagram saying, "Look to me for all ur fashion needs." And we certainly do just that! While her Steve Madden's are sold out, this style is super similar with tan suede fabric, a chunky platform sole, and gold detailing.

Ah, the ease of the slip-on loafer! They really do make elegance effortless. Especially this popular pair adorned with a gold horsebit buckle and a cutaway lip for a tasteful twist on the tailored menswear-esque look.

You and these shoes just might be sole mates. That's because of InFORMA comfort technology with ergonomic insoles, and contoured padding at key pressure points, of course. The snazzy look of an almond-toe shape, slight platform, tassels, and glossy finish only add to your compatibility.

Charming hand-sewn tailored lines, a cozy insole featuring patented moisture control for breathable, all day wear and moccasin-construction for a snug fit—what's not to love? The defining feature of these driving loafers though is the anti-slip grommet rubber sole.

With famous iFlex technology that provides a flexible and extra cushioned fit, you'll have a comfortable but stylish stride with these on your feet. They also feature a chunky lug sole and unique stitch detailing.
