4 Ways To Style Socks And Loafers Like An Insta Girl
From sporty shorts to classic tailoring, all the cool girls of Instagram are working socks and loafers right now. And whilst the look might be full-on Marmite/man-repeller fodder for some, we think it adds a fashion edge to almost every look. It also plays perfectly into TikTol’s favourite ‘Wrong Shoe Theory‘ that takes an unexpected shoe and pairs it with something completely juxtaposed – think a silky slip dress with Prada’s cult chunky loafer – and suddenly it just feels right.
Still unsure? We’ve scrolled the squares of Instagram to bring you four socks and loafer looks for Spring/Summer, from Luna Isabella’s classic Parisian approach to Div Ravindran’s monochromatic mini look.
Style With… Classic Tailoring
We love Luna Isabella’s classic take on heritage by pairing tailored trousers and a twee cardigan with a very masculine shoe and retro-inspired neckerchief.

Style With… A Colour Pop Sock
The colour pop sock is a great way to tie your full look in with accessories. These emerald green socks add a finishing touch – and a slight ‘Eclectic Grandpa‘ nod to an otherwise preppy look.

Style With… A Mini
From pleats to ’90s denim, hemlines are giving “skirt off sick?” vibes for SS24. Make the trend more wearable and grown-up by pairing it with chunky loafers and scrunched-down socks. Whilst Div Ravindran’s Prada shoes might be the dream, you can get myriad iterations on the high street for a fraction of the price.

Style With… Sporty Shorts
Adidas trackies are having a moment right now and we expect to see their summer counterpart – the silky sports shorts – slip in as we approach the warmer months. The secret to making it work with business-like loafers? Add an oversized blazer and polished accessories.
