Loafer Luxe: 6 Chic Ways to Wear them

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.

Colour Combination You Need to Try This July

Have you ever felt like you just want to hit the wall while trying to find the perfect color of outfit when you’re about to step out for an event? Then after that, your wardrobe turns upside-down, you end up getting frustrated, and still, you couldn’t find anything. One moment, you want the color pink, the next, you’re switching to grey. Somehow, everything in your wardrobe seems confusing.
“I have clothes, but I don’t know what to wear,” Well, you are not the only one in these shoes because I have experienced so much stress trying to pick outfits for events. During those moments, I realized the best and the fastest way to pick outfits is by picturing the color combinations for each dress. You’re probably thinking, ‘How does that even work?’ Well, let me break it down — this July, outfit stress is not your portion.
So, if you have been struggling to choose the perfect colors of outfit, draw a seat closer, grab your tea, and tell the person beside you, they are not ready for what’s coming because I have curated six outfit color combinations that are far from boring. These colors show us that pairing color combinations doesn’t have to come with wahala and headaches, atimes.
Whatever color inspiration you want, there’s something for you here. Let’s get started.
Muticolored Pop (Pink, Green, Orange, White)
Remember the popular part of a lyric where the world stops and stares for you for a while? Yes! That’s what happens when you try these multicolored pop styles. This is a great approach for color blocking. The long, structured coat would immediately grab the attention of people. Is it because it’s bold and long? Not at all. It’s because of the multicolored pattern. The white crop top layered was the perfect fit for the coat. Then, there’s the wide-legged pink pants. That one screams confidence. You can match the outfit with sunglasses and a handbag. If you’re heading for a creative photo shoot, then you can try it on.
Lime & Luxe (Lime Green, Black & Tan)
When an outfit is styled rightly, then anything is possible. If you’re looking for something that’s not too loud, then you should go for it. The lime green off-shoulder crop top gave it a flirtatious look. This made the color feel a bit girly. It can be paired with a sleek black skirt. You can carry a woven tan bag to complete the outfit. This particular look doesn’t need to scream for it to get noticed.
Feathered Blush (Cream & Pink)
This color right here screams luxury and glam. If you want something luxurious, yet simple and attention grabbing, then a cream beige mini gown is what you need. Especially the one that’s styled with beads and sparkles. The cut out detail in the outfit added a modern touch and it showed off a bit of skin. The corner of the dress is designed with pink feathers. It’s a soft girl showstopper outfit. And you can wear pink heels to complete the look. If you’re heading to birthdays, or any event, try this on.
Sage & Crisp (Olive Green & White )
If you love the bossy chic vibe, then this color combination right here might just be what you need to start with. The crisp white button down is underneath the light olive green vest. The matching green trousers make the outfit beautiful. You can complete the look with a white mini handbag and a black sunglasses. This outfit is effortlessly elegant.
Electric Duo (Lime Green & Hot Pink)
You know that Barbie spotlight feeling? That’s what happens when Lime Green is combined with hot pink color. A lime green structured blazer is a great fit on it own, but now paired with a pink bodice, then it’s a blast. The green mini skirt added just the right amount of flair to it. If you’re going for a fashion event, then this is for you.
Midnight Cherry (Red, Grey & Black)
This look is for those who love to rock bold outfit. A fitted red sweater paired with a faded high waisted gray jeans meets cool girl with confidence. The black fur coat makes it look rich and elevated. This combination shows that you can wear cozy outfit and still stand out.
Conclusion: Let Color Do the Talking
These set of color combinations shows that you can play with color and still look good. So this July, don’t just wear color, style it. Let your outfit speak before you do. Which of these color combination caught your attention. Tell me in the comment section.
