How often have you seen your favorite celeb wearing a cute piece of clothing, only to look it up for yourself to buy and see that it's a $2,000 luxury brand name? The disappointment is real. It may be rare (pun intended), but once in a blue moon you'll find them wearing a total steal and you must get your hands on it ASAP. Such is thankfully the case with these Charles & Keith loafers ($103), which Selena Gomez posted on her Instagram not once, but twice this week.

Charles & Keith is a Singaporean brand that sells shoes, accessories and even kids fashion. The brand sells trendy items as well as sleek, timeless pieces that will stay in style through the years, all while being affordable. And clearly, the label has earned a celebrity stamp of approval.
The Gabine loafers worn by Gomez are made of a super soft leather and have a somewhat chunky shape while still managing to maintain an understated, clean look. The heel is three-inches, so you'll get a little height when you wear them, too. Our favorite part? The silver buckles on the upper which serve as an extra bit of stylish detail. The Rare Beauty makeup mogul was seen wearing them with and without socks, so we can only assume that they're pretty comfortable either way.
We think they're the perfect pair to pick up for fall. It's not uncommon for loafers to return at the onset of the season, but how you style them makes all the difference. According to PureWow's Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth, the shoe style is especially versatile. "While you can definitely wear these classics with more causal basics, like baggy jeans or floral midi dresses, this trendiest way to incorporate them into your fall wardrobe is by leaning into that dressed up, timeless vibe. Pair your loafers with wide-leg trousers and button-up shirts, classic straight-leg denim and oversize blazers or plaid skirts and cardigan sweaters," she mentions here.
It's no secret that Selena Gomez is one of our favorite trendsetters, and now that she's been more active on Instagram, we can only hope she's going to throw us a few bones and wear some more gorgeous looks that are actually in our price range. In the meantime, these luxe-but-affordable loafers are calling our name.
