Slingback Loafers Are The Epitome Of Quiet Luxury

Over the years slingback pumps have been a spring-summer wardrobe staple because they are so comfortable to wear and the extra space at the back just allows the feet to breathe in the hot weather while the covered toes allow the feet to keep warm during the up and down in temperature in spring and autumn season. Thanks to Chanel who introduced the two-tone, sling-back pumps in 1957, the shoes have since then been reimagined by many designers with various colorways, shapes, heels, and straps.

Fast forwarding to now, Prada, Miu Miu, Versace, etc have all had their takes on what they think a pair of slingback pumps should look like, Prada, for example, had the most breakout last season with its kitten heel pointy slingback pumps of colorways that range from pastels to neutrals. This season the trending version of sling-back pumps comes in the form of loafers known as ‘Slingback Loafers’, thank God for the designer that came up with this new design, for loafers lovers, this is a great opportunity to continue to wear the staple into the summer season.

Loafers are generally known for the spring and autumn seasons, and if you’re a fashion fanatic you will agree with me that they only go well with certain outfits like days you’re trying to achieve an androgynous look like baggy shorts and a poplin shirt finished with a pair of loafers or a Capri trousers and blazer look. Thus, makes the wardrobe hero limited to use, but now that the new design comes in a slingback form, gush! you can now wear them with any outfit from trousers, to mini a-line feminine dresses, from work to weekends with friends, etc.

These new spring-summer wardrobe binders are approved by Hollywood starlets and supermodels, although most of them gravitate towards neutral colors like black and beige. Neutral colors I will recommend to wear to work and run errands etc, although not limited to these lifestyles because a Chanel model was actually spotted wearing these Sling-back loafers on its spring/summer 2023 Couture runway, she paired the black version with a tweed skirt suit look, and she looked ‘oh so gorgeous’ and well elevated. There are many other colorways that can be worn on special occasions especially the pastels on night out events. Sofia Richie who recently got married is an example of a celebrity who wore the white version for a long dance night on her wedding day.
