Loafers will forever be a smart shoe to turn to during the fall, but the way street style stars are making them feel new again is with the addition of a thick sole. Whether it’s a subtle lug sole or an exaggerated platform, it’s that little detail that makes loafers feel cooler than ever.

One of the most divisive trends for quite a few seasons now has turned into a street style staple. The key to making the skin-revealing look work is to think of the peek-a-boo garments as a layering piece. Let the sheer fabric hang below the hem of a longline shirt or pair it over shorts to balance the see-through look.
