How To Style Chunky Loafers With & Without Socks / Dos & Don'ts

[@laureltaylor9390]

I really appreciate how you show yourself wearing all the different outfits in your videos! I know it is time consuming, but I am very visual and can’t really picture in my mind how things will look. So helpful to actually see all the different pieces styled ON you, as opposed to on a hangar or laid out on the floor.

Cute ideas! The white socks with black loafers definitely give me Michael Jackson vibes!

[@cherylknepp8894]

Oooh, the shorts with the ball cap....and cute socks. My fav outfit by far. Love your channel, btw.

[@samajosells]

Love the pink cardigan look. Cute! I appreciate the info, always nice to have a classic look to current trends.

[@barbb.9489]

Too cute, a total flashback to the 60’s! ❤

Hi Jamie, this was a great video, so many great examples, wearing loafers with socks is such a cute look, I liked all the outfits, I even didn't mind the ones you said didn't work :-)

[@joannvanhorn6928]

Nice video. I wear socks everyday in winter… im a Senior & very cold natured. Also don’t like skinny jeans or leggings but wear straight or wide leg.

[@patjohnson6147]

My favorite. Striped top, camel blazer, blue jeans, white socks and loafers.

[@barbararupert4774]

Black blazer, black socks is the best outfit in my opinion. Great video

[@susansisk829]

Hi Jamie, thank you for the socks!

[@patnunziata2200]

I loved it. I just went out and bought some new crew socks and have been trying different looks myself. I am having fun with this new trend and really liking some looks.

[@YourGuideToStyle]

That's great! Thanks for sharing!

[@lindaege123]

I loved this video. Please Please do another appropriate with socks video this spring with cotton or linen or any springtime fabric . Pants or ankle pants. My feet freeze in the winter and early spring, but I still want to switch from winter clothes to springtime outfits with attractive footwear. I can handle summer sandals without socks, but spring is tough for me. Thank you

[@YourGuideToStyle]

Good to know. I will definitely consider it. There are probably some cute things you can do for spring.

[@shanescott3168]

Your video recording and audio are really well done. Very clear and clean.

[@NHchocolatelover]

I liked all of the outfits with the striped top the best!

[@mercedes523]

This was very helpful. I love my chunky loafers 👞.

[@karendykstra]

Love the second outfit the best! I bought a pair of navy loafers with a metal chain that I love wearing sockless. Having said that, I had to wear socks on a trip recently because I needed to take my shoes off to get through TSA Precheck.

[@elizabethandersen6009]

Thank you for this video with the loafers! 🥰

[@YourGuideToStyle]

You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@lindaphelan7611]

I really enjoyed this video! Love that you use lots of black paired with pops of solid colors and the black loafers were a surprise pairing that I actually really liked!!!!

[@teresasimmons2187]

Love it! I can't wait to try some of these styles. TY!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I like both the white and black socks outfits. I would probably wear the black ones, only because I feel I need all the visual length I can get. The contrast of the white socks, black shoes and denim adds horizontal lines. I want to get some beige loafers, to wear with matching socks and my light-colored trousers.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I don’t tan or use tanning products, if people don’t like my white legs, they don’t have to look at them. Tanned skin has been out of style for decades.

[@melodymartin4503]

I adore your black purse!

[@patjohnson6147]

The white socks pulls that outfit together. With the white and black striped top.

[@knix43]

Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate you explaining why certain outfits do work, while others may not. I am a fan of the looks with the socks. It was interesting to note that the white socks looked better with the tan blazer and jeans while the black socks looked great with the black blazer. Like you, I was not a fan of the dark denim and bodysuit with the socks and loafer. I think it might have worked better with lighter denim, though. Thanks for showing all the options. This was one of my favorite videos, as I love this vibe.

[@tracygray7574]

Loved it!!!

[@YourGuideToStyle]

Thank you!

[@user-zp8sk2rc4m]

Black socks for the win! 😆

[@JenniferGerman-r4z]

Thanks for the fashion advice! I'm going to shop for some loafers today. Where did you get the Paris sweater? Very cool!

[@nagrabagra4924]

I can't believe I just found this video lol! The white eyelet Dress with the socks and loafers fails for women because it looks like something I dressed my toddler daughter in. I wonder what that dress would look like with heeled loafers? There are some gorgeous ones on Amazon. I can't wear heels without pain, but I can look ! I have some brown chunky loafers that go with a lot of my clothes. They are very versatile. They look good with a sundress with a sweater thrown over it. Add some stockings and would certainly work for fall. I'm in the process of a metabolic metamorphosis from eating just Beef Bacon Butter & Eggs and I've lost a lot of weight, gained a lot of muscle and my waist and hips keep shrinking in size, and at age 57 this is a big deal! So it's really hard to buy clothes right now. I did buy some 3 months ago and now they hang off of me. And the sad part is these were some cuffed jeans that I really love. I'm hard to fit because of my narrow waist and large hips, so it takes me a while to find ones that work. But I followed one of your fashion tips on one of your videos and paired a long sleeved, warm green, ribbed, v neck Tee with blue cuffed jeans and cognac booties, belt and purse. I felt so pulled together and stylish and apparently everyone else did too, because I got complimented everywhere I went. The men were breaking their necks to look at me and their wives were staring holes into them lol! But to be fair their wives were wearing old jeans and sweatshirts and tennis shoes and they looked tired and slouchy. I see this on women everywhere I go. No one dresses anymore. It's kind of depressing. I live in a little community in the country. There is no fashion here. I think that's why my outfit caused such a stir. No one looks put together or even knows what colors and styles set off their attributes. I love creativity and color combos are a form of creativity. Thank you Jamie for feeding my addiction !! I appreciate you !

[@SDot2385]

Fun video. Some of the most stylish people you can imagine are wearing socks with loafers in a ton of ways right now. When you live in a cold climate not doing so isn’t an option at this time of year.

[@YourGuideToStyle]

Thanks!

[@jncoltin]

I am 69 and I remember wearing these looks. I never thought to wear chunkier shoes with skinny or as my jeans are called slim jeans. I will give it a try. Question…besides a black or navy blazer, what color blazer can you use as a neutral besides camel? Some of us get washed out by that color. I was thinking of a soft plaid.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I’ve always liked many looks with socks. Hosiery (socks, stockings and tights) are always such underrated accessories. Plus, I can’t stand wearing closed-toe shoes without some kind of toe-covering, even if just hidden toe-sock (I found some on Amazon, but they’re not great, they’re super-bulky, with pads and nonslip buttons on them, for what purpose I don’t understand).

[@Darry4645]

U could try khaki/tan socks with the tan blazer

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I like your loafers, they’re chunky but don’t have enormous lug soles. That’s how I buy trends (which I love in footwear), I choose the least extreme, most classic versions. The extreme ones date too quickly. I’m looking for a light-colored pair like those, I hardly ever wear black, even in shoes. But, black ones are definitely dominating the market.

[@julieme7927]

I actually always hated loafers but I have changed my mind. I like that there are different versions. I like the ones that are heeled too. I wonder if the eyelet dress would have worked better with a lighter colour chunky loafer?

[@Darry4645]

Socks with loafers r all over NYC right now

[@rimaalmalla5796]

Thank you for the nice video, I like your beige blazer, from where it?

[@YourGuideToStyle]

Thanks. It's from Everlane. Here is the link rstyle.me/cz-n/hipj5rce4fp

[@palomahealing5073]

What kind of socks to wear to style the no socks look? What are they called? Thanx🩷

[@jennilamela6258]

I don’t like loafers no matter what and never have. But I’m sure this video will be helpful for anyone who does.

[@michelebrotman5345]

The shirts with ballcap outfit makes you look like Angus from AC/DC. Lol.

[@barbararowan8738]

Not a fan of loafers. But they look good on you .Thank you for the video .

[@bonniepaynter5624]

Check out Emily Wheatley’s video on styling socks 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnaQloafea-mmZo

[@israalbarahmeh1298]

Your shoes look big 😮

[@julieme7927]

Random

[@rosej9686]

I thought the last look was nice, especially when you cuffed up the jeans. 🤷‍♀️

[@U-TUBE-me]

Maybe it's because I'm from a different part of the country but I largely didn't agree with your take on this. The outfit that you used as your example of what not to do I actually thought look better than many of the ones you thought looked good. Didn't think the lights off thing was even slightly cute and the untucked shirt just made it look sloppy. You kept referring to the last outfit as dressy when I really didn't think it was just because they were darker washed jeans and a simple tank top that's the Casual element, with a blazer and the shoes are across between the two. I didn't like the wash of the jeans with the camel Blazer, white socks and loafers. I think the chunky loafers would look better with a wider leg Jean or with fun tights and a preppy looking mini skirt.

[@belleepoque07]

When you wear white socks with chunky black loafers, you really need to show them fully, under shorter hemlines with enough skin between socks and the hemline, not submerged under pants or jeans unless you are going for the Charlie Chaplin or Michael Jackson look. You look better showing some skin around the ankles when you are wearing loafers with pants. So very low, invisible loafer socks will work better. The rest of the combis are not chic enough TBH.

[@charlensing3120]

I have always hated the look of loafers on me or anyone else. It's one item I will never wear for the sake of fashion.

[@YourGuideToStyle]

I get it. We all have something we feel that way about. Thanks for sharing.

[@j.rosario9006]

Oooohhh….yeah, No….I did not like any of these outfits.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@YourGuideToStyle]

That's quite alright!

[@julieme7927]

Imagine how boring life would be and look if we all liked the same things. Imagine how nice life would be if we didn't feel the need to tell people things that didn't affect us

[@philiphanan1493]

Haters gonna hate.
