Chic Gucci Loafer Dupes That Look (Almost) Just Like the Real Deal

Loafer mules have been an enduring trend that’s undoubtedly withstood the test of time (not to mention the fickle cycle of trends season after season) since the ubiquitous Gucci Loafer slide hit the scene in 2017. It was the “it” shoe of the year, but its legacy (and popularity) continues to reign supreme. Thanks to Gucci’s luxe spinoff of the formerly lazy-day shoe, the loafer slide is no longer a glorified pajama slipper—it’s officially a veritable footwear staple that’s both undoubtedly chic and ridiculously comfortable.

Frankly, it makes perfect sense why this trend would go viral and stay on the sartorial radar for years to come; loafer mules are cozy AF, basically foolproof to style (they magically go with just about any outfit), and you can throw them on when you’re literally running out the door. Plus, they look understated enough for casual outings, but they’re also suitable to wear to the office (depending on the style, of course).

While Gucci’s hallmark styles like the Princetown are undeniably gorgeous, designed with buttery Italian leather and a designer logo to match, they also come with a fairly hefty price tag. The premium quality and refined craftsmanship of the O.G. Gucci slides surely justifies the price point, but if you’re not ready to take the plunge and invest in the real deal, or, you know, would prefer to not drop an entire month’s rent on a pair of shoes, we’ve got you covered with some chic alternatives that look pretty darn close. Scroll through below to check out the best Gucci loafer look-alikes that won’t break the bank.
