Fréda Salvador recently released LEIGHTON, a soft leather loafer for fall. This shoe looks like a loafer and a driving shoe/moccasin had a baby, with a structured bottom and soft, relaxed top. And they’re not joking when they say soft leather— the leather is ultra soft. I love the beautiful ruching detail and versatile tan color called “biscuit”.

Frēda embodies the modern woman. They re-imagine classic footwear in a modern way that’s wearable, versatile, and just plain cool. Frēda Salvador is a female owned company, making shoes ethically and sustainably. Their shoes always fit so well and are made of premium materials— LEIGHTON is no exception.

What are the Frēda Salvador LEIGHTON Soft Leather Loafers made of?

The LEIGHTON is made of the softest, most buttery, 100% calf leather. It’s unlined to keep that soft, slouchy feeling. It has a polished leather welt, leather sueded sole, and a “.75 inch stacked leather heel. I have LEIGHTON in the biscuit color shown in the photos above and it’s also available in black calf.

How do the Frēda Salvador LEIGHTON Soft Leather Loafers fit?

The LEIGHTON loafer is a slip-on style that is true to size. Because they’re made of leather, with wear they’ll stretch a bit and form to your feet. The website suggests sizing up if you’re between sizes. I found my true size fits me perfectly and they’re really comfortable.

How to style the Frēda Salvador LEIGHTON Soft Leather Loafer: Outfit Ideas

My Everyday Jewelry: Lou Puff Heart Necklace, Mia Coin Necklace, Ophelia Ring, Pia Flat Band, Rove Twisted Ring – code: TOMCZAK10 for $10 off your first order.

1.) Oversized Denim Shirt + Green Military Pants + Loafers

Shirt* (tts or size down if between sizes) // Pants (size down one) // Bag* (code: MICHELLE15 for 15% off your first order) // Sunglasses* (code: MICHELLE15 for 15% off your first order) // Loafers* (code: MICHELLE15 for 15% off your first order)

This first outfit feels relaxed and easy. The shirt, pants, and shoes all have a lived-in feeling to them. The espresso, croco embossed leather sling bag elevates the look. It adds contrast, texture, and coordinates really well with the sunglasses that add chic-ness.

2.) Cardigan + Pleated Skirt + LEIGHTON Loafers

Cardigan* (size down one) // Prudence Skirt* (code: MICHELLET for 15% off) // Bag* // Loafers* (code: MICHELLE15 for 15% off your first order)

The second outfit is a neutral, workwear outfit. It’s elevated enough to wear to the office. It’s ultra comfy between the soft cardigan, loose skirt, and soft leather loafers. The tote bag fits a laptop and is my go-to work bag.

3.) Ringer Tee + Cuffed Jeans + Soft Leather Loafers

Tee // Jeans (I sized down one) // Bag (similar) // Loafers* (code: MICHELLE15 for 15% off your first order)

The base of this outfit is very casual— a tee and jeans. The graphic detail, ringer tee neck and arm details, yellow statement bag, and denim cuff detail add lots of interest to the look. The loafers finish it off, rounding out the overall casual feeling.

4.) Vest + Trousers + LEIGHTON Loafers

Vest // Pants // Bag (new version same brand) // Loafers* (code: MICHELLE15 for 15% off your first order)

This outfit is neutral with a print and mix of textures. Another workwear possibility, especially if a shirt if added under the vest. Although, I’m loving the vest-as-shirt look for early fall weather.

5.) Cropped Tee + Jeans + Loafers

Tee // Jeans (I sized down one) // Bag* (code: MICHELLE15 for 15% off your first order) // Loafers* (code: MICHELLE15 for 15% off your first order)

In the last look, I love the pop of color in the oversized cropped tee. I paired it with another interesting silhouette— horseshoe jeans. I like that the loafers aren’t as casual as a sneaker or as elevated as a more polished penny loafer. The LEIGHTON is a really versatile shoe that goes with pretty much everything. It’s easy to style and I’ve weaved it into my mostly casual aesthetic/wardrobe with ease.
