Frankie Bridge's M&S loafers look 'far more expensive' than they are

The shoe of 2024, it seems, is the loafer.

The slip-on shoe that was established over 150 years ago has had somewhat of a resurgence with influencers and celebrities alike donning these leather flats lately - and we're here for it. It's even had the seal of approval from Loose Women panellist Frankie Bridge, who we deem as somewhat of a high street fashion aficionado, who has found a pair from Marks & Spencer for £55 that has shoppers praising them for being way cheaper than they look.

Released last summer, the Leather Trim Flat Loafers from the world famous British store previously gained popularity for looking ‘almost identical’ to an expensive version byBottega Venetabut were priced £805 cheaper, which is always a winner.

Some fashion fans are even stating the M&S loafers are 'better than designer' - which is quite the claim. The 35-year-old singer shared the shoes on her Instagram over the weekend as part of her weekly Frankie's Faves round up and she styled a number of looks she deemed suitable for work and called the loafers the 'ideal work shoe' for being 'comfortable and smart'.

And she’s not the only one who’s obsessed, reports The Mirror, as the classy and elegant shoes have garnered a mass of five star reviews from shoppers who have commended the loafers for being both stylish and affordable.

One wrote: "Smart loafers , classic design . Look as if they came from Russell and Bromley and cost 3x the price . Very happy with purchase."

Another added: "Better than designer! Fashionable, comfortable loafers. They look good with practically anything! Well done yet
