5 Under $50: Unique Loafers

Since menswear-inspired pieces are super-popular this fall, I've been looking for some easy ways to incorporate this trend into my wardrobe. One of the easiest and most versatile ways to do this is with a pair of comfy loafers. They're just as functional as a pair of flats, but with an (obviously) more masculine feel.

In order to stand out and make a statement, I've been searching for some not-so-basic loafers. Sam Edelman's ultra-cool studded and spiked pair, Kate Spade's adorable patent red 'Connie' loafers and J. Crew's chic leopard print loafers are some of my favorites, but with prices starting at an upwards of $150, they aren't exactly in my price range. That's why I found five similar pairs for under $50, which can give you the same fashion-forward look for a fraction of the price. Check 'em out:

1. Deena & Ozzy's Reptile Loafer, $49.00

2. Dirty Laundry's Odell Loafer, $49.99

3. Topshop's Victor Patent Slipper, $45.00

4. BDG's Woven Tassel Loafer, $39.00

5. Wanted Shoes' Ritzy Slip-on Loafer, $49.99
