The Best Black Loafers to Elevate Your Work Outfits All Year Round

Looking for a good quality black loafers that look classy and elevate your work look? Rounding up the best classic black loafers for you. 

And you don’t have to just wear them to work, black loafers can easily turn your casual outfits into classy looks. And they are timeless, so you can wear them year after year.

What Are we Looking For?

Here is how we decide which loafers are timeless and classy and we definitely want to share.

Design

The more outrageous the design the less likely they will be on trend. Its important to pick a style that you know will not look outdated in a year or two. 

Comfort

Shoes have to be comfortable otherwise you wont feel confident or stylish. This is given.

Material

When looking at 1000s of loafers, we make sure we pick the ones that are durable. Because if they can’t last long, they are not timeless.

Best Black Loafers For Women

Sam Edelman Loraine Bit Loafer

The Sam Edelman Loraine Bit Loafers are classy and a great alternative to the classic Gucci Horsebit loafers that all of us are obsessed with. The gold hardware detail looks chic and elevated. The narrow front style makes these loafers a bit masculine which adds to the sophistication of these loafers. 

They have a slight heel that adds the signature classy style of loafers. And it also has the same back pushdown style like the Gucci ones which you can push down to convert them into loafer mules. 

The style is simple yet sophisticated and would look great with jeans or with dresses as well. I also love that the leather has a texture to it which makes it really luxurious.

Because of the style of the loafers they will work best on narrow feet. But if you have wider feet, I would recommend, going half a size up. But if you have narrow feet, then size down.

Coach Haley Loafers

The Coach Haley Loafers are another great alternative to Gucci Horsebit loafers and one of my favorites. 

They are actually comfortable and true to size. So, you can buy them with confidence that they will fit you well. The horse bit has the Coach C logo in it adding a luxe touch to these timeless piece. But its not over the top, so it wont go out of style. 

You can check out my complete review of these loafers to see whether it fits your style or not.

& Other Stories Equestrian Buckle Loafers

If you are looking for feminine style of loafers then the & Other Stories Equestrian Buckle Loafers is the prefect black loafers for you. The Almond shaped front looks pointy and chic. 

The gold hardware is simple yet powerful and stylish. And the design looks timeless. And with .6 inch heels, it adds  chic touch to the loafers. 

This style makes it easy to wear with not only casual clothes, but with dresses and skirts to create chic and classy looks. 

These loafers do run large which is great if you have wider feet. They will be comfortable for you. And with the cushioned insole, its also comfortable for walking. 

This is a best seller style from & Other Stories.

Gucci Horsebit Leather Loafer

The Gucci Horsebit Leather Loafer had to me in my list because they are the most timeless pair you could own. I own these pairs in pink and have been wearing them for 5 years now. They are still comfortable and classy. They look great with everything. 

These pairs don’t come in pink anymore but the black ones are the same material and style. 

These are the pairs that you see alternatives of. So, if you want to invest in a classy pair of loafers, this should be your first pair. They do run small. So, you should size up. I am a size US 7.5 And size 38.5 fit me well. 

Sarah Flint Rosie Loafer

I got the Sarah Flint Rosie Loafer recently and absolutely fell in love with the feminine chic make and design. The loafers have 1 inch heels that makes them look like pumps. 

The pointy toe style looks chic and perfect for dressy outfits. It also makes you look taller. Even though the loafer has no gold details, the pointy toe and the heels make them chic and elevated. 

These loafers are also made of suede, so they look very different from all the leather loafers. 

They have a 3mm extra padding for more comfortable walking and wear. And I can testify for the comfort. I have worn this all day at work without any issue. I used toe socks that would keep my toes covered, but did not feel any discomfort. 

I have narrow feet, so these worked out really well. I am a size US 7.5 and these come in EU size. So, I went with my usual 38 which were big for me. Which means they are true to size as I exchanged them for 37.5 which is 7.5 in US. 

Frye Faith Penny Loafers

Frye makes really comfortable shoes and so naturally the Frye Faith Penny Loafers would be comfortable. But these loafers with the narrow toe style look chic and feminine even though they have the masculine loafer style.

This makes them versatile, so you can wear them with dresses, skirts or even jeans. The simple no hardware style makes them easy to blend with any outfit you are wearing them with.

I also like that they have .5 inch heel in the sole, so you don;t feel like you are walking barefoot which a lot of simple loafers do. I also love the grained leather look. They age very well, which means you can keep on wearing them for years.

Cole Haan Tarese Soft Loafers

I love the square toe style of the Cole Haan Tarese Soft Loafers that gives your loafers an updated look. But the narrow design and .5 inch heel height makes these loafers feminine and chic. 

The loafers have foam padded sole and groves in the sole which makes them commuter friendly and perfect for dailywear. I love the simple shiny leather style. These loafers will look great with midi dresses or even casual wide leg jeans. 

And if you don’t like the black color, you can also go for other shades. These loafers are comfortable, and budget friendly. Basically they are your workwear best friend.

M.Gemi Gia Loafers

The M.Gemi Gia Loafers don’t even look like loafers. And I am instantly in love with the pointed toe style. Thats what makes them look like ballet flats even though they are loafers. And you know what this means. These loafers are versatile and will literally go with anything you want to wear them with. 

I love the simple minimal design of the loafers, and the suede also tones them down. They are also great for longevity. Suede does not crease like leather. But if you want the leather ones, they also come in that material.

They do have a narrow design, so perfect for ladies who don’t like the bulky look of loafers. Having been made in Italy, these loafers imbibe the Italian simple and chic look.

Marguax Andie Loafers

The Marguax Andie loafers come in both Black Napa leather and Black patent leather. The loafers look minimal, sleek and modern. These loafers sure look luxurious even though they don’t have the luxury brand price point. 

I love the narrow long design of the loafers which makes your feet look narrow and slimmer. The simple strap and no hardware make them versatile and brandless. This is sometimes really important for workwear where you do not want to flash logos.

And the best thing about Marguax loafers are you can pick based on the width you feel most comfortable in. Because these loafers come in narrow, medium and wide feet style.
