What better introduction to Miu Miu’s soon-to-be biggest shoe trend than seeing it on Alexa Chung, lounging in a garden, grass beneath her, fairy-lights-strewn across her, wearing Miu Miu’s Leather Loafers with Straps (£820) with her signature ease? Debuting the shoes in the dreamiest way possible, the model and presenter slipped into a style I’m certain we’ll still be talking about in seasons to come.

With wearability firmly on their side, these non-fiddly flats might just be one of the most practical new launches of the year. Built on a classic loafer silhouette, the black leather pair features a Mary-Jane-style strap that secures the shoe neatly to the foot, along with ruching, a key loafer detail dominating right now, subtle logo branding and a slim, elegant sole.

Alexa Chung sits in a garden wearing a layered top, a wool miniskirt and Miu Miu's Mary Jane loafers.

Available in two colourways, the inky black Chung wears, and a rich chocolate brown, the rich tone allows the loafers to slot easily into a capsule wardrobe. Styled with socks and a mini, as Chung demonstrates, they bring a pretty, preppy energy while still feeling polished and poised.
