At TOWER, we'll never tell you what to do - but, we can offer some guidance on styling out certain silhouettes! After all, how do you style loafers? How does the cosy mule fit into your rotation? This is our time to shine, answering the hard-pressed questions that you're asking!
Wearing in a pair of loafers can be considered a grueling task to many, but when combined with this summer's cleanest combos, we think the sore ankles could be all worth it.
At HQ, we find that Clarks' Teala loafer sits perfectly alongside a pair of fresh white socks - contrasting is long-lasting, which is why you'll be seeing this combination a lot throughout summer '22!
Complete the look with a dark-toned skirt or trousers, and you're onto a winner. Due to the Clarks Teala's hardwearing upper, we can expect a lot of leathery textures regardless of weather conditions.
Rumour has it, we're seeing a number of Shoreditch locals throw down their loafers with a set of premium track-pants. Comfort and class, all in one? Better yet, switch up trackies by picking out a baggy pant to last the day; let your cuffs do the talking!
White socks are back with vengeance, creating a canvas for Dr. Martens' Carlson mule as we beat around Brick Lane's cobbled backstreets without one moment's hesitation.
Now, from this point you have two options - is it too hot outside for trousers? Some 7" baggies or a skirt are in order. If trousers are a necessity amidst those winter months, usher a cropped, straight fit pair out of retirement. Mule > socks > trousers. Easy!
So, there's TOWER's two-cents - cut between mule styling and loafer diligence this season. After all, we've done the hard part for you!
