 The 15 Best Loafers on the Planet

By Gerald Ortiz

At GQ, we’ve long maintained that loafers are the Swiss Army Knife of shoes, ready to help you puzzle through all stylistic head-scratchers you encounter. Not sure what shoes to wear with a bespoke tux for a red carpet event—or just a really fancy wedding? Loafers. Not sure what shoes to wear with cut-off jean shorts for the after-after party that same night? (The only two vibes, really.) Loafers again.

Point is, loafers can take a well-thought-out fit and turn it into a galaxy-brain ensemble, and if these quarter-baked anecdotes aren’t doing it for you and you need a little more convincing, don’t worry, we’re just getting warmed up. After the jump, find our newly updated guide to the most crucial shoe of 2025—complete with a new #1 pick no one saw coming.
