Katie Black

Katie Black, the loafer that proves “sensible” can be a little dramatic.

A plush, velvety finish meets glossy patent trim and a swingy tassel for a loafer with serious texture. The chunky lug sole gives it an edgy, grounded stance.

• Material: Plush black velvet-like upper with glossy patent leather trim
• Embellishments: Patent tassel and a patent penny strap for shiny contrast
• Comfort: Easy slip-on style with a grippy, chunky lugged sole
• Fit: Rounded apron toe with a low, lugged heel for a sturdy, comfy step

Cuff a pair of faded black jeans and add a cropped satin bomber for a “plot twist at the school reunion” kind of Friday.
