Kendall Jenner in Paris is my new inspiration for spring 2025. Winter Eva was all about Après-ski to a T, while spring’s playing out to a slightly different tune. Think: Casual, yet elegant with the one shoe style I never thought I’d wear. Alas, Jenner single-handedly changed my mind about it.

The supermodel was seen walking the City of Light in a very Parisian-chic look (duh). Naturally, this means she wasn’t wearing anything overly dramatic or complicated. Paris It girls keep it simple, relying on a few staple pieces to give them that effortless appeal, and Jenner followed suit with her medium-wash, straight-leg jeans (a classic you can never go wrong with). She paired the denim with a crisp white baby tee, layering a deep-red suede blazer over everything. The finishing (and winning) touch were those burgundy loafers you need ASAP. 

Thursday Boots Penny Loafer

Jenner’s cool-girl shoes hail from New York City It brand, Thursday Boots. I swear by the brand’s boots; I wore these chunky combat boots all around Paris while on a 30th birthday trip. I’ve also waxed poetic about its Heartbreaker style that gets me endless compliments whenever I wear them. So, it makes sense that I now also need the brand’s Jenner-worn penny loafers, the upcoming shoe of the season, per a slew of celebrities who’ve worn the silhouette nonstop. I’m looking at you Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and Hailey Bieber—and if that doesn’t prove this “Dad” shoe is a muti-general It item, I don’t know what does.

That said, Jenner’s pair, which feature a handstitch moccasin sole, comfy, supportive insoles, lasting leather interior, and a soft patent leather exterior, are the slightest bit different because of the hue. I’ve seen plenty of black loafers, but the model’s footwear introduces a slightly softer though equally versatile burgundy shade. And, seeing as the color is blowing up right now, this choice makes sense. 

Burgundy is slightly softer than black, too, making it the ideal pair for your upcoming spring and summer outfits, which will likely include pastel hues and colorful prints. So, consider making Jenner’s Thursday Boots penny loafers your own, and check out some other burgundy loafer options from Tory Burch, Steve Madden, and more below.
