When living in a place like New York City, you need a pair of shoes that are good for walking and also look put-together enough in case you run into someone you know — for Katie Holmes, that seems to be a pair of black loafers.

The Dawson's Creek star has been wearing the sleek style on repeat: On April 2, she wore them with a pair of jeans and a red flannel, and just a few days earlier, she styled them with flowy cropped pants and a green jacket. Holmes also wore them in the fall during a shopping spree, with a long black coat and jeans.

The versatile nature of the loafer and their year-round wearability is what makes them a necessity for working professionals, busy moms, fashion followers, and celebrities alike. Other stars, like Hailey Bieber and Taylor Swift, have also worn chunkier loafers recently. In fact, Swift opted for a pair of Louboutin ones while kicking off the opening weekend of her Eras Tour.

And while a chunky sole might be a bit trendier, the ones Holmes wore are a timeless style you can wear year after year — just look at Queen Elizabeth, who wore the same style loafers for more than half a century. Plus, they're an easy shoe to wiggle into, and some even have collapsible backs that let your heels get even more of an airy draft.

Shop Loafers Inspired by Katie Holmes:

While hers appear to be designer shoes, not everyone may have the budget for a pair. But these $34 ones from Amazon are much more affordable. The tiny details throughout, like the squoval-like toe shape, 1 centimeter heel, and cushioned insole, make them a smart and stylish purchase.

And plenty of shoppers think so, too. One five-star reviewer said, "These shoes are not only super cute and go with jeans, my white pants, and my black work pants, [but] they are also so comfortable, I could walk miles in them." Another person noted that they have a "high-end look for an affordable price," adding that they "would 100 percent recommend!"

These Loraine Bit Loafers from Sam Edelman are a fun mule-and-loafer hybrid shoe.

On the brand's website, there are sizes 4 to 14, including half sizes, and over 30 fabrics and colors to pick from, but they're also available on Amazon.
