Bow-Tie Slingback Loafers

These all-black loafers are undeniably edgy and are softened by the knotted bow-tie embellishment. They come fitted with a comfortable contoured footbed as well as an adjustable slingback strap that ensures a secure fit. Refined enough for smart-casual occasions, style yours with anything from jeans to skirts — preferably in black so that you can achieve a standout monochrome moment.
