Best Street Style Loafers
1. Cool Girl Chic: The chunkier the loafer, the edgier the vibe — which is why we’re obsessed with these Tinstree Platform Loafers. With a thick lug sole and gold chain detailing, these loafers were made for walking (and stomping) — was $70, now just $50!
2. Mixing Trends: These unique Bandolino loafers meld the studious look of the loafer silhouette with balletcore-inspired feminine bow detailing. Choose between nine colors and textiles from black patent leather to smooth gray suede — just $79!
3. Make it Bold: While traditional loafer styles come in black or brown, this lug sole pair from Free People gives the classic silhouette a vibrant twist, offering blue, green and metallic colorways — was $148, now just $99!
4. Slip on Style: Backless loafers (like this Steve Madden pair) are the standard loafer’s summer-loving cousin. This style lets your feet breathe in the warmer months, but still looks super professional while traipsing around town from meeting to meeting — just $88!
5. A Little Lift: If you’re looking for a heeled loafer, you can’t go wrong with the Paul Green Nina Loafer Pump. With a three inch heel, these shoes are still incredible easy to walk in — but look a bit more polished than other options. Oh, and the grunge metallic leather color is currently half-off — was $429, now just $215!
Best Street Style Sneakers
6. A Pop of Color: Sure, classic white sneakers are a staple, but don’t be afraid to add a little color to really enhance your street style look. I love these Veja Campo Sneakers which come in fun shades like matcha, tonic and mulberry — just $175!
7. Dazzle Them: Rhinestone-encrusted platform sneakers? Say less. This pair from Betsey Johnson will certainly make a statement. Select from solid-colored crystals or standout patterns including cherries and florals — was $89, now just $60!

Best Street Style Boots
10. Western Meets the City: I wasn’t fully sold on the western boot trend until I laid my eyes on these citified croc-embossed knee high boots from Raye. It has the country-esque silhouette with urban detailing — just $348!
11. Ditch the Black: Shoes should have personality too! Wearing a bold color — like thistle blue or magenta rose — completely levels up your street game style. Luckily, these Sam Edelman Codie Square Toe Booties come in both hues — was $170, now just $68!
12. Upgraded Combat Boot: Everyone is wearing combat boots nowadays. Dare to be different with these Crossroads Moto Boots from A.S.98. They have a similar vibe, but have a certain it-factor that will be all the rage by next season — was $408, now just $200!
