Elizabeth Olsen Wore Timeless Flat Shoes

last updated 15 June 2023

The stories I write for Who What Wear oscillate between trendy and timeless. Sometimes I report on daring celebrity outfits, other times, I cover tried-and-true wardrobe staples. As you might have guessed from my headline, this story fits into the latter camp.

Photographed arriving at the CBS studios in New York City, Elizabeth Olsen wore the flat shoe trend that will never go out of style: black loafers. They've been popular since the 1930s and show no signs of slowing down. Not only are they a more comfortable alternative to heels, but their versatility cannot be understated. You can style loafers with a pantsuit as Olsen did or pair them with casual ripped jeans. The options are truly endless. Keep scrolling to shop some of my favorite loafers.
