Before you default to white trainers, consider pairing your cigarette trousers with this sleeker alternative. Just as comfortable but so much more polished, black leather loafers are the flat shoe that the chicest dressers are pairing with cigarette trousers right now.
Spotted in New York, Uma Thurman styled her simple black cigarette trousers with a glossy pair of black leather loafers. Whilst white trainers will always be a classic choice, they can sometimes soften the sharpness of tailored trousers with a more casual energy. Loafers, on the other hand, complement the refined silhouette, creating a cohesive outfit that feels put-together.

Keeping the rest of her look equally streamlined, the actor paired her trousers and loafers with a fitted black tee and a sleek leather jacket. Where white trainers would have created a stark contrast against the darker palette, her polished black loafers enhanced it.
Just as wearable during the height of summer, as they are through the colder months, black leather loafers are one of the few shoe styles I genuinely return to year after year. Inspired by Thurman’s elegant styling trick? Scroll on to discover and shop the best black leather loafers below.
