Astrid Ruched Platform Loafers

Apart from exuding polish at a glance, our Astrid loafers are also the epitome of easy wearability. The platform soles make them a comfortable alternative to high heels, and will prove to be an ideal office-to-outdoors companion. Its clean lines, understated ruching, and lack of embellishment make this design an ideal choice for minimalists. Coupled with the match-all black finish, this understated pair will endure, no matter the season. Style it with a button-down shirt and pleated skirt to turn heads wherever you go.

An accessible brand with genuine kudos, Charles & Keith has put the creativity back into affordable accessories. Its shoe and bag collections are always on the money, making them a hit with the British style press. Although it’s a global brand, it’s a relative newcomer to the British high street, so our advice is to get it early before everyone catches on.
