TAMARIS Black Patent Loafer - 1-24316-43

Tamaris Black Patent Loafer — 1-24316-43

This Tamaris black patent loafer features a square toe, a 35mm block heel, and a bronze buckle detail at the front, designed for work and smarter everyday wear. Black patent is one of the most versatile finishes in a shoe wardrobe — it reads as sharp and polished without requiring much effort to style around. The soft footbed and flexible sole keep it comfortable through a full day, while the slip-on construction means it is easy to wear from the moment you leave the house.

Fit and Sizing

This loafer fits true to size in a standard width, with a square toe box that gives a little more room across the front of the foot than a pointed style would. It suits those with slightly wider feet as well as a standard fit. No half sizes are available — if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

Best For

• Office and professional work wear where a sharp, low-maintenance shoe is needed
• Smart-casual dressing for meetings, lunches, or daytime events where black works as a natural base
• Autumn and winter outfit building when a black neutral anchors the rest of the wardrobe
• Wedding guest dressing when you want a heel with stability and a colour that works with most outfits
• Communion and Confirmation season as a comfortable, polished option for a long day
• Transitional dressing between seasons when black patent carries more weight than a matte finish

Styling Guidance

Black patent works as a true wardrobe anchor — it sits cleanly against monochrome outfits, adds contrast to camel or cream tailoring, and holds its own alongside bolder colours like burgundy, forest green, or cobalt. The bronze buckle warms the look slightly, making it feel less stark than an all-black shoe and giving it more versatility across daytime and evening dressing. For the office, pair with straight-cut black or charcoal trousers and a fine knit or structured blouse. For a smarter occasion, a midi dress or skirt in a deep jewel tone alongside this loafer gives a well-put-together finish without looking overdressed.

• Works well with: Tailored trousers, midi skirts, monochrome outfits, structured blazers
• Colour palette: Black, charcoal, camel, burgundy, forest green, cobalt

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this loafer true to size? Yes, this style fits true to size for most customers. As no half sizes are available, if you fall between sizes we recommend sizing up.

What is the heel height? This loafer has a 35mm block heel, giving a subtle lift with a stable base — practical for a full working day or a longer event.

What material is the upper made from? The upper is a synthetic patent material, which gives a high-shine finish similar to patent leather and is straightforward to keep clean.

Are they comfortable for all-day wear? Yes — the soft footbed and flexible sole make them well suited to days where you are on your feet for extended periods, whether at work or at an event.

Are they suitable for work? Black is one of the most practical work shoe colours and this loafer's patent finish and bronze buckle detail give it a considered, polished look that works across most office environments.

Does the patent finish show scuffs or marks? Synthetic patent is generally easier to maintain than suede or leather — surface marks can usually be wiped away with a soft damp cloth, and the high-shine finish tends to disguise minor everyday wear well.
