Sofia Richie Pulled Off the "No Pants" Trend Thanks to Fall's #1 Shoes

October in L.A. can be a bit tricky to dress for. It can be cool in the mornings, but later in the day you're bound to get sweaty. Sofia Richie has the perfect compromise: a sweater on top and, well, nothing on the bottom. She paired it with an incredibly popular fall 2020 trend: flat loafers, which are much easier to pull off with a rather short hemline compared to heels. I stan a practical celeb.
Photographed in Malibu, Richie wore The Elder Statesman's Plaited Block Ribbed-Knit Turtleneck ($985) along with Bottega Veneta sunglasses and Celine Luco Loafers ($850). Of course, you can certainly add a pair of tights if you're not lucky enough to live in SoCal. Scroll down to see Sofia Richie's new outfit and shop similar pieces on a budget.
