Jane Fonda and Jennifer Garner Are Proving This Supportive Shoe Deserves a Spot in Your Spring Lineup 

Loafers go with so many great warm-weather outfits, and they’re a whole lot easier to keep clean during spring than your white sneakers.

We’ve recently seen Jennifer Garner and Jane Fonda reaching for these no-fuss slip-ons to finish looks on both casual and dressy occasions. Garner stepped out on the streets of Los Angeles in black penny loafers with wide-leg jeans and a gray sweater, while Fonda dressed up a fun pair of leopard-print loafers with a plum-colored pantsuit at a conference appearance.

Inspired by these stylish stars, we found so many deals on spring-friendly loafers, including designer styles, with prices starting at $24.

Dream Pairs Penny Loafers, $34 with Prime

Already affordable, these classic penny loafers are on sale for even less at Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. They look very similar to the pair Garner wore with her staple-filled early spring outfit, especially the metal hardware across the top. You can get them in eight colors but the black ones would look super cute with a flowing midi skirt — or a shorter skirt as summer rolls in — and a retro pair of frilly socks.

“These are so comfortable,” wrote one shopper. “I wore them for 10 hours straight at work and had zero blisters.”

Sam Edelman Loraine Bit Loafer

Take a page out of the look book of a living legend with these Sam Edelman leopard-print loafers. Fonda’s have the same silhouette as these that have a half-inch heel and padded insole. The small heel is something we’ve seen Katie Holmes wearing this season, too, and gives you just a tiny height boost without affecting your stride.

The brand says they require no break-in wears and more than 900 shoppers who’ve given them a five-star rating agree. You can wear these all spring with a fitted T-shirt and a relaxed pair of black wide-leg pants. Or shine the spotlight right on them with a pair of cropped jeans.

Birdies The Starling 20 Loafer

Birdies Starlings are the perfect bridge between flats and loafers. We named them the best loafers on the market after testing 29 styles of flats because of their effortless styling possibilities and elite comfort. I bought a pair for my wife last year, and they are her go-to office shoes for the same reasons. These gorgeous brown loafers have a low heel and a leopard-print detail made of soft calf hair on the top. They’re a great way to add some character to your spring work outfits without going overboard.
