Love flats, but want to add something other than a simple ballerina to your rotation? Try tomboy-chic slipper loafers, they also make a statement sans heels! Delightfully comfy for a day at the office and sturdy enough to wear outdoors, the preppy slip-on style takes a cue from menswear and when paired with a slouchy sweater, it gives your outfit a shot of cool. Loafers and ballerina flats, admit defeat! Slippers have taken over from you as the new flat shoe.

How to wear slipper loafers?

The posh prep-chic shoe is an artful finish to cropped pants and your favourite skinny jeans. Although slipper loafers are said to complement form-fitting minis and silk blouses, I would recommend sticking to demure knit tops and simple tees for a more casual finish.
