Onslow £170 by Tod’s at Kurt Geiger

The equivalent to loafer royalty with those little rubbery bumps on the sole that are perfect for hopping on to a yacht or into a Ferrari. Wear this classic tan loafer with slim cropped trousers, a classic trench and saucer-sized shades. A look that was as hot in the Fifties as it is in 2008.

Six of the Best Loafers

We're in that tricksy in-between seasons bit where it just feels too darn previous for winter boots yet summer's sandals are too chillers. Cue the loafer. This is the shoe that works with skinny denims (Fearne Cotton), with kilts at House of Holland (Agyness Deyn), with satin drainpipes (Blake Lively) or at any festival you care to mention (Alexa Chung). At the top end of the scale is the classic Tod's – ultimate Monte Carlo/King's Road footwear requiring Alice band and Patek Philippe accessories - but further down you'll find some excellent high street offerings with patent, fringing and embellishment. We heart the loafer.
