Our favorite travel souvenirs are always fashion-related. Case in point: We bought the loafers pictured above from a small cobbler in San Sebastian, Spain (following a long lunch of tapas and mucho vino) while on a trip more than a decade ago, and they’re still among our favorite shoes.

Like pumpkin spice and cozy sweaters, a pair of classic loafers are a fall staple. We love the preppy shoe because it pairs so perfectly with autumn's array of blazers, turtlenecks, and all things plaid (aka the collegiate uniform of ivy league grad students). We rounded up 5 pairs of loafers that are similar to our beloved Spanish style and are prime for walking across campus or strolling through the city among autumn leaves.
