There’s still a common misconception that comfort and elegance are two separate concepts, but loafers prove otherwise. Timeless and always ready for long walks, these shoes possess a power like few others. This means that garments like mom jeans become the best kind of companions; after all, they pair perfectly with distinguished outfits with blazers and romantic blouses, or more casual ones with leather jackets and T-shirts.

Summer 2025 shoe trends already prove the success of any look comes down to footwear, and it’s safe to say that a pair of loafers will achieve that goal. On the runways, they’ve been seen as a means of generating contrast, with Prada doing so with heeled, distressed-look models, while Jil Sander opted for a square toe and designs in buttery yellow and deep brown. Meanwhile, street style mavens have opted to pair loafers with mom jeans, inspiring us to dress comfortably and elegantly all summer long.

Here’s how we’re styling the unbeatable combo this weekend.

When it comes to wardrobe staples to conquer summer fashion, t-shirts have always been at the forefront, however, in recent months they have taken over the aesthetic discourse as a simple yet effective alternative to dressing in a minimalist way. Between boho skirts and high-waisted jeans, this element knows no bounds in street style, where the latter have been accompanied by camel-colored loafers and leather jackets for a look that is as practical as it is imposing.

Black blouses always come in handy, no matter the context; you can never go wrong with this style. This makes it perfect for those days off when you have more than one activity to do. Therefore, mom jeans with a cuffed hem are the perfect pairing, especially if you also wear a coat in a vibrant color like orange or red.

A few weeks ago Anne Hathaway was seen with a ’70s inspired outfit, adding an extra dose of glamour to her flared jeans with a gold jacket. This kind of complements elevate the whole outfit, and has also been demonstrated by style experts, where they have been seen with mom jeans, lace blouses and lace-up loafers, in an outfit that is as romantic as it is edgy.

Looking for an original take? Wearing a dress over jeans is the answer. Echoing the vision of Anne Hathaway and Hilary Duff in the 2000s, this combo has matured and is now seen with draped dresses with side slits, mom jeans, blazers, and square-toe patent loafers.

For those weekends that call for a formal outfit , mom jeans prove to be the best weapon. All you need is a pair of black loafers and a flowy shirt to give them a more sophisticated look. To prevent the garment’s movement from overwhelming your silhouette, you can tuck your top into your jeans—a styling trick mom jeans are well suited for.

Almond-toe loafers are sometimes nicknamed “grandpa shoes,” a term that, far from making them unattractive, has earned them many admirers. Similarly, items like mom jeans and striped polo shirts are no longer associated with outdated wardrobes. When combined, they’re now a fast track to a look that has it all: comfort, style, and distinction. For extra points, match the colors of the shirt with the jacket and shoes, and add gold jewelry and a belt.
