Words: Charlie Thomas
When it comes to summer shoes, loafers are the way forward. Their easy, slip-on nature and ability to blend formality with a laid back aesthetic makes them an enviable option, especially when finished in the material of the summer, suede. Here are 5 of the best suede loafers under £200.
HERRING
We’ve taken a closer look at Herring’s Ascot II loafers here. In short, their top quality, Goodyear welted construction and classic styling means they’re the only shoes you need this summer.

FAIRFAX & FAVOR
One of Fairfax & Favor’s best-selling shoes, the Bedingfield is a hand-stitched tassel loafer, featuring a low vamp, rounded toe and classic leather soles. The suede itself is hard-wearing, so you needn’t worry about only wearing them when the sun’s out – just ensure you first douse them with a quality leather protector.
