Sorry if this offends you, but for the longest time, I considered loafers a “boring” shoe style. I have nothing against them but never really thought of them as cool or current. Now, though, that the classic shoes are having a bit of a renaissance this season, and in seeing how Emma Roberts recently styled her pair, I may be sold on them for good. The American Horror Story actress stepped out in Los Angeles recently wearing a pair of heeled loafers in such a chic, polished ensemble that it left me searching for a pair of my own.

Roberts opted for a block-heel pair from Freda Saldavor and styled the style in a very ’70s retro-cool way: alongside a denim button-front miniskirt, brown knit tee, and cat-eye sunglasses. She seems to favor the classic shoe style, as evidenced by a recent outfit involving a fun leopard-print pair that we quickly dubbed the It flats of fall 2018. To see how Roberts styled her loafers and then shop her whole look—along with some similar shoe styles from Freda Salvador—keep reading.

It seems like just yesterday we were enduring the heat of summer, longing for the temperatures to drop. Now that we’re here, we can’t help but ask, “Where did fall go and how is it already winter?” Okay, maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves, but within a number of weeks, we’ll be in the center of the holiday season, which means it’s time to start shopping for those all winter party ensembles. Sure, there are plenty of dresses that’ll look great year-round, but if there’s one style that was practically made for the season, it’s the long-sleeve holiday party dress.

Sure, you could always opt for a classic slip dress, but there’s something about a long-sleeve dress, especially when it’s of the sequined, velvet, or metallic variety, that feels extra-special for the holidays. You’re bound to receive endless compliments at any soirée you attend. Ready to start shopping? We gathered the chicest long-sleeve dresses you’ll want to wear to every holiday party you have in your calendar. Check them out below.
