Heeled loafers: This 90s shoe trend is making a comeback in fall 2025!

Heeled loafers are on trend for fall 2025 – 90s style!
Loafers are true classics – and in the '90s, they were among the absolute favorites. In an era when fashion was characterized by simple elegance and luxurious minimalism, they were considered an indispensable must-have. Stars like Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts, and Cameron Diaz particularly enjoyed these timeless shoes – sometimes even with heels!
The '90s remain a key source of inspiration this season for brands like Coach, Max Mara, and Ferrari. The simple elegance of this era is still evident—especially in shoes.
Cameron Diaz was among the first to define the shoe trend : She opted for striking red loafers, instantly turning an otherwise all-black outfit consisting of a long-sleeved top, leggings, and a light sweater into a real eye-catcher. Julia Roberts demonstrated how versatile the shoe can be – instead of strappy sandals, she opted for velvety brown loafers on the 1990 red carpet for "Die Hard 2," which she casually paired with a floral summer dress in the same color.

Sarah Jessica Parker, too, has always had a weakness for shoes (not just her character Carrie Bradshaw from "Sex and The City" ). Her wardrobe in the '90s included heels, boots, low shoes with elegant brooches, and block-heeled loafers. She wore the latter at a time when she swapped her curly blonde hair for a chestnut-brown bob and opted for a simple and very classic look with a white blouse and black pencil skirt. Undoubtedly a timeless combination that still looks great today.

They've been spotted several times in street style this year. Paired with knee-high socks, they're perfect even in cooler temperatures and look especially modern with a striped long-sleeved top and micro shorts, as well as with a sweater and a trench coat.
