Would you like a penny for our ideas? Gwyneth Paltrow’s loafers are perfect for fall.
On September 27, the Goop founder dressed up for a birthday celebration in Portofino, Italy. She looked ready to celebrate in a classy cat-bow blouse (which Duchess Kate wore earlier this fall), a luxurious zip-up sweater, and cropped wide-leg trousers.
And she completed her look with preppy penny loafers, as heels are totally impractical on the cobblestone streets. According to stylist Cynthia Kennedy, it’s a “true classic brought back.” Plus, they “instantly make jeans or pants look more sophisticated without sacrificing comfort,” she previously told PEOPLE.

These Coutgo loafers are an absolute must-have. Not only are they really comfortable (one reviewer said he wore them 12 hours a day), they also look better than your average sneaker. The heel folds down, so you can also wear it as a mule on warm autumn days. So you actually get two styles for the price of one.
GH Bus Weejuns Penny Loafers

I don’t own GH Bass penny loafers, but I do own loafers from this brand. They feel (and smell) just like any other high-end shoe I own, and are much more durable than my light-as-air ballet flats. So once the Arizona heat subsides, I plan to take these pants out for good this season and wear them with everything from Capri a la Paltrow to maxi skirts to jeans.

If you’re clumsy like me, you might want a shoe with a little more traction for rainy or snowy days. (Look at Paltrow. You never know when it’s going to start pouring!) If so, this discounted pair with a “grip sole” for added stability is your best bet. Speaking of stability, they also have a 1-inch heel that gives them a bit of lift so they don’t fall over with every step.
