After the look of Prada’s loafers without the designer price tag? I’ve found a selection of the best Prada loafers dupes on the high street that will save you hundreds.

I’ve been spotting the loafers over and over again on Instagram over the past 2 years, with influencers and celebrities such as Emili Sindlev, Sara Louise Thomas, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid all being spotted in a pair of the coveted shoes.
It doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere either, as loafers continue to be one of the most popular shoe styles of 2024. Chanel, Gucci, Celine and Saint Laurent are just some of the designers who have thrown their hat in the ring and launched their own must-have loafers.
I personally love how they can be worn all year round. In summer, I wear mine with summer dresses, and now it’s winter i’m wearing them with jeans and tailored trousers. If you wear loafers as often as me, it’s fair to say Prada’s are a good investment but they certainly don’t come cheap. If you do want to invest, here are just a few of our favourites from the designer…
