Looking for a pair of loafers to add to your shoe collection? Here are the best loafers you can buy right now.

Like a classic sport watch, a good pair of loafers is one of the easiest ways to elevate both casual and smart looks. In fact, the swift slip-on action of broken-in loafers probably make them the easiest of all, certainly the quickest. 

Loafers are one of those men’s quintessentials that actually speed up the process of getting dressed. Imagine if clip-on ties were acceptable. Unlike clip-ons though, these leveled-up moccasins always make you look like a put-together, well-adjusted adult.

There’s a style for every type of guy and every type of occasion, from simple American penny loafers to sleek Italian horsebits.

The 6 Best Men’s Loafers

Each of these brands has distinct offerings at a range of price points.

Jay Butler Cromwell

Jay Butler was founded as recently as 2014, but you’d swear they’ve been in the loafer game for decades. Their Millbank Bit Loafer is the go-to alternative to Guccis among the discerning set, and their brown Cromwell Penny Loafer has become an instant classic.

Their penny loafer is built with the slick attention-to-detail as a centuries-old Italian shoemaker, but their design template is traditionally American.

The full leather soles are thin and pliable, the heels are of moderate height (shorter than a European dress loafer, more pronounced than a boat shoe), and there’s significant top-foot exposure.
