How to Style Lug Sole Loafers

The lug sole shoe has quickly taken the fashion industry by storm and for good reason. They’re chic, they make a statement, and dare I say they’re practical? (I’m saying it!) I’m no stranger to the lug sole, it was one of my most-worn styles as a child but hadn’t owned a lug sole shoe then. Last year, I decided to change that and give the trend a try as an adult and added these lug sole boots to my winter shoe rotation. Once the warm weather rolled around, I found myself missing the look and style of my lug sole boots so I knew I wanted to incorporate another pair of lug sole shoes into my rotation that were mild-weather weather approved. Enter: the lug sole loafer. As a new-to-me style of shoe, I’ve been having so much fun styling them, especially as we transition into spring.

The lug sole style isn’t for everyone; you either love it or hate it. It’s a shoe style that has a more edgy look but I love the juxtaposition they add to a more feminine outfit. Not to mention, they give us petite gals a little lift and lengthen the legs compared to your typical flat/loafer. If you’re thinking about trying this style of shoe or aren’t sure how to style the ones you have, here are some easy tips for styling yours.
