These €69.99 penny loafers from Mango really look like they're from Saint Laurent
If there is one shoe you want to invest in right now, it is the loafer. And we are not talking about those chunky, clunky models, but rather the elegant, classic variant. Preferably made of suede, with a subtle penny detail and an expensive look & feel. And Mango just happens to have such a piece in their collection that looks just like it, but costs you a lot less than the real deal.
Designer vibes for less than €70,-
These suede penny loafers look like they came straight out of the shoe collection of Saint Laurent. The only difference? The price tag and the mini YSL logo that is missing (which you would have hung over your pant leg!). Timeless, chic, and nonchalant: exactly what French fashion houses excel at. And you won't pay hundreds of euros for them with our Spanish friends at Mango, but €69.99 (vs €1,050,-)!
And that makes this find quite interesting, in my opinion. Because while we love a good designer investment, we find an affordable lookalike just as appealing. Earlier, a dupe was spotted at Zara that was sold out everywhere in no time. Now there's a second chance. Below you can shop it immediately. You won't regret it...
How to wear the penny loafer this autumn
Yes, autumn. Because this is really not just a shoe for nice weather. What I perhaps find the most fun about these shoes is that you can wear them with just about anything. Think of an oversized trouser with a fine-knit sweater, dark straight-leg jeans with a leather bomber, or a denim bermuda with a pair of high socks.
And if you want to go for that real Saint Laurent look? Combine them with an oversized leather jacket, a white T-shirt, and a statement sunglasses. You really don't need anything more.
