loafer definition and meaning

What is a "loafer"?

A loafer is a type of slip-on shoe that is typically worn as a casual or semi-formal alternative to a lace-up dress shoe. The design of a loafer typically features a low heel, a rounded toe, and a flat sole. Unlike other dress shoes, loafers do not have laces or buckles, making them easy to slip on and off. Loafers can be made from a variety of materials, including leather, suede, and synthetic materials, and can be found in a range of colors and styles. Some loafers feature decorative elements such as tassels, buckles, or stitching, while others have a more minimalist design. Loafers are versatile and can be worn with a variety of outfits, from jeans to dress pants, making them a popular choice for both men and women.
