Top 5 women’s footwear picks on H&M India

These footwear picks have been curated from H&M India’s women’s shoes section, focusing on silhouettes that read premium in real life: sleek mules, minimal sandals, structured loafers, and clean trainers. The goal is “everyday sophistication”—pairs that work with jeans, wide-leg trousers, dresses, and office-ready co-ords without looking too trend-chasing.

The five shoes in real-life terms

CHUNKY LOAFERS (Art. 1290748001, brown)

CHUNKY LOAFERS (Art. 1290748001, brown) are the most grounding option: moccasin seam, decorative lacing, twill lining, and a chunky sole. The chunky sole adds visual weight, so it balances well with wide-leg trousers, loose jeans, or oversized layers rather than very floaty hemlines.

POINTED BALLET FLATS (Art. 1290709003, burgundy)

POINTED BALLET FLATS (Art. 1290709003, burgundy) lean dressy because the pointed toe sharpens the look, while the fuzzy surface adds texture. Burgundy flats are often styled as a “pop” with neutrals (white, beige, denim) or used to deepen tonal outfits (browns, blacks).​

LOAFERS (Art. 1318025002, dark brown croc-pattern)

LOAFERS (Art. 1318025002, dark brown croc-pattern) are the sleekest of the loafers because the penny keeper and croc texture look more classic than decorative lacing. This pair tends to work best with straight or slightly cropped trousers/jeans so the shoe shape stays visible.

BRAIDED MARY JANES (Art. 1270571001, black)

BRAIDED MARY JANES (Art. 1270571001, black) are the most playful flats here: braided texture, rounded toe, and a strap. Mary Janes often look strongest with shorter hems (mini skirts, shorts) or with straight-leg jeans that show the strap detail rather than hiding it.​

TRAINERS (Art. 1273075013, leopard-print)

TRAINERS (Art. 1273075013, leopard-print) are the most casual and the most “statement by pattern,” even though the shape is low-profile. Patterned trainers usually work best when the rest of the outfit stays simple so the print doesn’t compete with other strong elements.​

Quick “what to pick” guide

  • For office-casual polish: the croc-pattern penny loafers or the brown chunky loafers.​
  • For concert/crowd comfort: trainers, or chunky loafers if a closed-toe shoe is preferred without going sporty.
  • For date or dinner outfits: burgundy pointed ballet flats (sharper silhouette) or black Mary Janes (more playful).
