Loafer Luxe: 6 Chic Ways to Wear them

Published

on

Let’s be honest, there are days when you want to look stylish but the thought of suffering in high heels makes you question all your life choices. That’s where loafers come in. Not just for the “serious” office crowd anymore, loafers have had a major glow-up. They’re now the perfect mix of comfort and style, exactly what you need to move through your day with grace, whether you’re jumping between meetings or brunching at Café One.

 

But let’s face it, if not styled well, loafers can easily slide into boring or too-casual territory. No worries though. Here’s how to wear them like the style star you are.

 

Tailored Trousers And Loafers is a Powerful Combo

 

This is that look you pull off when you want to say, “I have arrived,” without actually saying a word. A well-fitted pair of tailored trousers instantly sharpens up loafers, especially if you pick trousers that slightly crop at the ankle to show off the shoes. Think cigarette pants, wide-leg tailored trousers, or even smart culottes. Top it off with a crisp white shirt or a relaxed blazer, and you’ve got a look that works for office settings, business casual Fridays, or those semi-formal events where no one is really sure if it’s “coat and tie” or “smart casual.”

 

Pro Tip: Go for loafers in polished leather or with subtle metal accents for extra sophistication.

Monochrome Magic

 

Wearing one colour from head to toe might sound intimidating at first, but when done right, it’s a real showstopper. Black-on-black is the classic go-to (because who doesn’t look good in black?), but don’t be afraid to play with neutrals too, like beige, tan, or grey.

 

Imagine: a tan pair of linen trousers, a matching tan blouse, and sleek tan loafers. Add gold jewellery, a rich brown bag, and you’ll look like you just stepped off a minimalist Pinterest board, without even trying too hard.

The beauty of monochrome is that it always looks intentional, even if you got dressed in five minutes.

Midi Dresses And Loafer: Feminine Without the Fuss

 

There’s something effortlessly stylish about pairing a floaty midi dress with loafers. It’s giving “I’m soft, but I also have sense.” The trick here is to balance the dressy and casual vibes. If your dress is floral and flowy, maybe go for structured loafers. If your loafers are a little chunkier, choose a sleek, simple dress. This combo is perfect for Saturday outings, gallery hopping at an Art Centre, or even casual church services.

 

Little hack: Add a denim jacket or a light kimono over the dress if you want to layer it up a bit, especially with how unpredictable the weather can be.

Loafer with Your Favourite Jeans

 

This is the most low effort, high reward look you can pull off. Throw on your best-fitting jeans (preferably straight-leg, mom jeans, or cropped styles  not skinny jeans please, let’s leave those in 2017), a basic top, and finish with clean loafers. Bonus points if you cuff the jeans slightly to show off a bit of ankle. It makes everything look more intentional. Depending on your mood, you can switch it up with a structured handbag for a polished look or a canvas tote for a laid-back vibe. Trust me, whether you’re headed to a meet-up at Terra Kulture or just running errands, you’ll look good without doing too much.

Colourful or Printed Loafer

 

Why stick to boring black loafers when you can have fun with it?

Look out for loafers in vibrant shades, think mustard yellow, burnt orange, deep green, or even metallics.

Or better still, go for textured finishes like croc print or a little velvet action.

When you wear statement loafers, keep the rest of your outfit simple so your shoes can do all the talking.

 

Imagine: an all-white outfit with bright kente-inspired loafers. Clean, bold, confident. Na you go scatter ground, trust me on that one.

Socks and Loafer, But Make It Stylish

 

Now I know what you’re thinking: “Socks and loafers? Isn’t that for oyibo students in boarding schools?” Hear me out. Done right, socks can add a playful twist to your look.

Go for thin socks, maybe something sheer, sparkly, or softly coloured. Pair them with loafers and cropped trousers, and boom, you’ve got a quirky, fashion-forward vibe. This is perfect if you’re feeling experimental or if you’re heading somewhere a little artsy, like a poetry slam or fashion event.

At the end of the day, loafers are that reliable best friend in your wardrobe. They don’t demand too much from you but always make you look like you have your life together. Play around with styles. Mix, match, layer. Fashion is vibrant, fearless, and fun, and your loafers deserve to be part of that energy.

 

So dust off those loafers, invest in a few new pairs if you can, and most importantly, own your style.

 

Because trust me, there’s nothing chicer than someone who dresses with confidence.

Tolu Bally Impresses in Bold Floral Two-Piece Look

Published

on

Tolu Bally has a way of dressing that feels completely her own, the kind of style that reflects exactly who she is in that moment. She wore this look to the premiere of Ini Edo’s movie “A Very Dirty Christmas” and shared it on Instagram with the caption, “where peace rests, love flows, and harmony lives”, a simple line that captures the calm, confident energy of the outfit.

The focus in the images is entirely on her and the clothes. Nothing about the background competes with the look, and it feels grounded and thoughtfully put together.

Tolu Bally – Instagram

She wears a two-piece in a bold floral print dominated by red, softened with touches of pink and pale blue. The cropped top has structured shoulders that give shape and presence, ending just above the waist, while the high-waisted skirt fits closely over the hips before falling straight to mid-calf, balancing the print with clean lines. Metallic strappy heels add height without stealing attention, and statement earrings provide a touch of sparkle. Her hair is sleek and close to the head, and her makeup is warm and polished, letting her features shine naturally.

What makes the outfit work is its quiet balance. The print draws the eye, but the tailored cuts keep the look grounded. The cropped top introduces a hint of boldness while the longer skirt maintains elegance. Everything feels intentional, no piece is added for effect, and no detail is out of place. It’s a look that reads as thoughtful, confident, and unmistakably Tolu Bally.

Delonyii’s Stylish Look at Global Entrepreneurship Festival 2025

Published

on

For the second day of the Global Entrepreneurship Festival 2025 in Accra, digital creator Delphine Onyii shared a full carousel on Instagram, giving followers a detailed look at what she wore for the event. Her caption was straightforward: “Day 2 of @globalentrepreneurshipfestival 2025 in Accra Ghana. Couldn’t decide which to post so I posted all… Which is your favourite slide?” It matches the way she usually communicates online, being direct, minimal, and focused on showing the visuals rather than explaining them.

Delonyii – Instagram

Del, who has built her platform around fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content, arrived in a black two-piece suit covered with small gold ball-like accents arranged across both the jacket and trousers. The design is unusual for a business-driven gathering, but it fits her pattern of choosing pieces that photograph well and stand out without distracting from the overall look. The suit keeps its shape, and the detailing gives it texture.

Delonyii – Instagram

She paired it with a compact black handbag marked with a metal emblem, soft-tinted eyewear, and a high ponytail that keeps the attention on the suit. The pieces she added are practical for an event day and stay within the same colour range as the outfit. Nothing looks added for the sake of filling space; she kept the styling tight.

The outdoor shots show the suit under natural light, where the gold accents look more muted and blend slightly into the fabric. The indoor photos shift the focus, making the same detailing sharper and more defined. This difference explains why she posted several slides instead of picking one. The outfit registers differently depending on the lighting, and cutting it down to a single frame would change how it’s perceived.

Delonyii – Instagram

What’s clear in the photos is that Del is comfortable wearing something that could easily overwhelm someone unsure of their direction. Her audience is used to seeing her take risks with texture and contrast, and this outfit fits into that pattern without feeling repetitive. It’s also consistent with how she presents herself offline: confident, clear about her taste, and willing to wear something that doesn’t follow the typical event formula.

Delonyii – Instagram

Her appearance at the festival is not framed as an attempt to blend into a corporate environment. She shows that her personal style doesn’t get muted for professional spaces. Instead of adjusting her look to match the setting, she maintains the approach her followers recognise, which is part of why the photos generated attention.

Choosing multiple slides was not about looking for extra reactions; it was a practical choice based on how the outfit reads in different environments. The suit holds up across every angle, and the variety makes it easier for her audience to pick a favourite. In the end, each slide serves a different purpose, and that visual range is what makes the post engaging.
