The year of the loafer (and honestly… we agree)

Nicola Sexton loafers the 2026 it shoe

As we settle into the start of 2026, one shoe is firmly in the spotlight.

Last week, The Times declared this year “the year of the loafer” – praising its ability to feel polished yet relaxed, grown-up yet easy, and effortlessly wearable from everyday life through to smarter moments.

Loafers have long been central to our collections.

Designed with comfort, craftsmanship and character in mind, each pair reflects years of refinement – from the fit and feel, to the leathers and finishing touches.

From beautifully textured Italian leathers and distinctive buckles, to colour combinations that feel bold yet timeless, every pair is designed to feel special – and just as importantly, genuinely comfortable from the very first wear.

What we love most (and what The Times captures so well) is the feeling loafers give you. Polished, but not stiff. Put-together, without trying too hard. Shoes that quietly say “I’ve got this” – whether you’re heading out for the day or dressing up something simple.
