LET’S LOAF AROUND
G. GREEN WITH ENVY
Currently on sale for an additional 50 per cent off, these green platform loafers with a classic buckle detailing make for a perfect fall statement shoe — add a pop of colour to any outfit. L’Intervalle, $74.99, 220 Yonge St.
H. GO CLASSIC
Made with the brand Melissa’s patented 100 per cent recyclable thermoplastic, with these vegan-friendly loafers, life in plastic really is fantastic! Gravity Pope, $165, 1010 Queen St. W.
I. A GRAPE UPGRADE
A Doc Marten loafer style that has been around since the ’80s (and has remained popular since then among certain fashion-forward folks), this stunning purple suede is super cool and super comfy. Browns, $225, 1 Bass Pro Mills Dr.
J. METALLIC MOMENT
A made-in-Italy metallic design that draws on all the classic elements of a loafer that we love (including a slip on heel, a cool fabric buckle and a pointed toe), gold really can go with anything. Ron White, $495, 52 Scarsdale Rd.
K. SUAVE IN SUEDE
Red is THE colour of the season this fall, and a red shoe is the easiest way to add it into a wardrobe of autumn neutrals. With a slight heel, these whimsical Italian suede loafers can take you anywhere. Studio D Boutique, $325, 55 Bloor St. W.
L. ALL HAIL THE HEEL
With a slight square toe and a beautiful purple hue, this deeper tone will carry you right into winter. Pair with denim for some cool tone magic. Maguire Shoes, $190, 1514 Dundas St. W.
