Elle Fanning Wore the Flat-Shoe Trend Everyone Will Buy Next

With every new season comes a new flat shoe trend (typically), and I’m betting on one that Prada and Miu Miu are primarily endorsing for S/S 24. It’s been a minute since two of the biggest flat shoe trends of the decade of 2020 (i.e. ballet flats and loafers), so I think it’s time to freshen things up. And the new trend that Elle Fanning and many others to come are shaking things up with are loafers.

While walking around New York this week, Fanning wore a casual-chic ensemble consisting of a cardigan, a white T-shirt, and baggy pants. On his feet he wore a pair of suede Prada loafers, which are descendants of moccasins (as are moccasins, in fact). Moccasins were invented by the Native American community and date back to the 19th century. The shoe style has evolved over the years and reappears occasionally. And now that Prada and Miu Miu have introduced this style so strongly in the S/S 24 collections, I think this will be one of those comeback moments. Another version of the loafer that designer brands are currently signing are boat shoes, with nautical details.
