Seasonal Dressing - The Spring Shoe III

The last of the seasonal shoes we will discuss here today, ladies, is the loafer. That staple of preppy closets for generations has been on the outs with the fashion world until recently. It has been making a steady comeback over the past couple of years.  Slightly more substantial than the ubiquitous ballet flat, it can be very serviceable in a closet..

What do we want in a loafer?

- not too delicate but neither too cloggy of a shape. You don't want to look like an accountant (not that there is anything wrong with it).
- some elevation.
- black black black. Although an introduction of another color in addition is welcome. If well done.
- avoid the cousin of the loafer, the moccasin, like the plague.

Like so (and in this case, ladies, the WANT is better than all other price point categories!):
