Sam Edelman Loraine Weave Bit Loafer

If a loafer has become one of the hardest-working shoes in your wardrobe, the Sam Edelman Loraine Weave Bit Loafer in Oasis Navy Leather is a beautiful way to update the look for fall. The classic Loraine silhouette has that timeless menswear-inspired feel, while the woven leather and rich navy color give this version something a little more special.

Navy is one of my favorite alternatives to black because it's incredibly versatile but often makes an outfit feel softer and more interesting. Pair these with straight-leg denim and a button-down, tailored trousers and a knit, or add socks and a skirt as temperatures start to drop. They're polished enough for work but easy enough to become an everyday shoe.

Why I Love Them

• Classic bit-loafer silhouette that won't go out of style
• Woven leather adds texture and makes the shoe feel special
• Rich navy is an unexpected but incredibly versatile neutral
• Easy to wear with denim, trousers, skirts, and dresses
• A polished alternative to wearing sneakers every day
• Timeless enough to keep while still feeling fresh for fall

Dear Lucy Edit

I've bought a lot of loafers over the years, and this is exactly the kind of update I look for—a familiar silhouette with one detail that makes you stop and take another look. Here, it's the woven navy leather. Navy is so underused in shoes, yet it works beautifully with denim, camel, chocolate brown, grey, and cream. And because the Loraine itself is such a classic shape, the texture doesn't make it feel overly trendy. If you already own the basic black loafer, this is the kind of pair I'd add next.
