Are Loafers Really Back?

Our friends over at Elle UK tell us that everyone in the Elle office is currently wearing loafers and whilst every hip celeb from Alexa Chung to Fearne Cotton has been spotted sporting a pair I'm still not fully convinced.

The ballet pump has reigned as the flat shoe du jour for many seasons now and has arguably outstayed it's welcome (thanks in part to it's celeb following of Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse). So whilst I am excited that change is in the air, I'm not convinced that loafers are really for me.

The most popular pair currently on the High Street are from Topshop (see below) but they also featured on the catwalk at House of Holland where they featured the Holland shield. How do you feel about the new season shoe style? Are they really back?

    Woo-hoo! I love ballet flats too, but I'm happy for loafers, because they usually have some smallish heel going on. I have a high arch, so shoes with absolutely no heels are harder on me than 5 metre stilettos.

    Ballets flats are totally over. Goodbye! I like the brogue shoes, along with these loafer styles for a nice flat shoe. I live in heels but It's nice to have a flat shoe for days of really, really heavy walking.

    Urgh, as much as I've learnt to never say never when it comes to fashion, I think I'd really need convincing on loafers. I still associate them with middle aged Sloane women, who used to buy them by the shedful from the shoe shop on the King's Road where I used to work. Not really the look I'd ever go for...
