Yes, Loafers Look Good With Trousers, But Parisians Know They Look Even Chicer With Jeans—These Looks Prove It

If there’s one thing you can count on French women for, it’s a timeless, elegant approach to style. They undoubtedly have the ability to make the most simple pieces look elevated but also feel fresh and new. So it makes sense, then, that I often turn to them for inspiration on how to wear things in a reinvented yet effortless way.

Loafers are one such item. As one of those rare items that transcend trend cycles and settle comfortably into capsule-wardrobe territory, they’re a style we reach for time and time again, in any season, because they instantly elevate an outfit. French women, of course, have long understood their power—especially when paired with jeans.
