Finding the perfect footwear can sometimes leave one with aching feet. Those with stylish designs might not be comfortable, while the snug ones often lack the desired aesthetic. One of the most versatile footwear around is the loafer.

You can hardly go wrong with it, and it can transition from casual to dressy, depending on how you style your outfit. And this season, the loafer, comes in a variety of designs, complementing everything from everyday looks to evening attire. A colourful crystal explosion covers these loafers, further glamourised with golden chain detailing.

In a universal brown colour, the Italian label’s loafer is crafted from luxurious crocodile hide, making it an exotic statement shoe. What’s more, the soles feature the iconic Gommino (Italian for rubber) pebbles for comfort, practicality and durability.

Which explains why, the Gommino is said to be the soul of Tod’s craftsmanship. A stark contrast from the classic croc loafers is a red version in leather that is swathed in fringe.

Probably a nod to fashion’s current cowboy craze, this cool creation from Tod’s is totally trendy. Looking for loafers with some style and sophistication? Check out French brand Sand.
