If you’ve spent any time on Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Instagram lately, you know that she’s had a bit of a style revolution this year. Working closely with stylist Dani Michelle, the actress has created an impressive wardrobe full of chic, on-trend, and covetable pieces that have helped her cement her status as a fashion heavyweight.
This week, we saw Edgar Jones complete his look with on-trend chunky loafers, and paired them with see-through knee-high socks and a pretty peacoat for a chic ensemble that walks the line between playful and professional, making it a look we’re all going to want to copy.
Loafers have long been a wardrobe staple for fashionistas the world over, but Edgar-Jones’s style proves she’s not afraid to take risks. It may go against the grain of elegance, but platform loafers have never looked this sophisticated before, especially when they were last in vogue in the early 2000s. So when I heard that these were what Edgar-Jones was wearing for her latest outing, I shivered a little. But when I saw them in person, I realised I needn’t have worried. Her choice was Gucci’s lug-sole horsebit loafers (£865), which feature a 25mm height that adds a rugged edge to a style that’s usually very traditional. It’s a style I love.
An interesting rebuttal to the slim loafers that dominated stores last fall, I believe that this year the chunkier, rugged, cooler platform loafers will captivate fashion people around the world. A comfortable way to add a difference to show collections, I expect this key by to be seen around London during Fashion Week next month.
