The best ruched loafers for trans-seasonal dressing

In a landscape where trend cycles move faster than ever, certain style pillars continue to anchor the fashion world—transcending seasons and resisting obsolescence. Case in point: the loafer. More specifically, the ruched loafer.

Made famous by The Row, this silhouette—defined by its gathered stitching around the toe bed—has emerged as a quiet essential, revisited season after season. Street style icons like Zoë Kravitz, Taylor Russell, and, more recently, Harry Styles have incorporated the ruched loafer into their everyday wardrobes, often pairing the shoe with traditionally masculine tailoring to further the conversation around gender-fluid dressing.

As we enter winter, the ruched loafer finds its perfect pairing in a refined sock—think plush cashmere or high-quality cotton. Masterfully trans-seasonal and endlessly versatile, here are our favourite ruched loafers on the market right now, including leather, leather-look, and suede.
