Shoe Saturday: Alexa Champion of Ugly Shoes

Who doesn’t love Alexa Chung? She is your cute, friendly girl next door who brightened up our Saturday morning TV. But she is also a genius, loafers, brogues, deck shoes, mocasins, who else could have made geeky, ugly shoes a must have item. Prompting many designers to produce pretty and stylish versions of the originals. Here are some of my favourites.

Pare Gabia ‘Aumane’ black patent loafer £85

Gardinia ‘Melf’ loafer £175

Gardinia ‘Xynia’ loafers £180


Pare Gabia ‘Imor’ fuchia suede loafer £65
Geox ‘Snake Moca’ deck-shoe £88

Ugg ‘Dakota’ mocassin in tobacco £123
I think all these would look wonderful this summer with jeans, leggings or even pretty dresses. The only problem is deciding which ones.
Go on admit it, your quite taken too!

  • I'm already there – I too am champion of ugly flat shoes, love them. Like the fuchsia suede ones xx

  • Hehehehe. Well I think I would buy boots instead myself,but thank you for the lovely photos of mocassin shoes.
    have a wonderful weekend Pearl.

  • I love ugly shoes! Even though I'm not an UGG boot fan, I really like those mocassins! They look super comfy and look like they've also got a good tread on them, which most don't so that's a good bonus, but I'll prolly have to deal with some cheaper ones from New Look!

  • So you can be fashionale and have comfy feet, too!
    I had some fuschia suede penny loafers back in the 1980's. xxx

  • They look so comfy! My friend just got a pair of loafers just like the black patent pair for about £5 in a Preston charity shop yesterday. They looked great with her skinny jeans. xx Have a lovely weekend. xx

  • Sorry Pearl, I just cant see it!! They are man repeller shoes! I love love love ballet flats but even those are considered ugly by my boyfriend! Alexa looks fab, love her outfits but not the shoes!!

  • I do love these, I think they go a long way to making certain outfits look less tarty. Mini skirts and heels so often just look trashy, but a mini skirt and loafers or other flats has more of a French 60s chic vibe. I prefer the ones with a bit of a heel, like the first three. I think it is slightly more comfortable, and they look less like old lady driving shoes.

    ps I hate the term used in the comment above, 'man repeller'. I know lots of people use it to describe ugly clothing, but it pisses me off because it implies I give a shit what men think about what a wear! The term really makes me shudder. xx

  • See now I have gradually been won over to the church of ugly shoes (though I still have one foot firmly routed in very lovely shoes – it gives me a funny hirple but whatcha gonna do?) BUT, and here's the crucial thing, sometimes they really don't flatter. I need to be super careful with ugly shoes!

  • I used to wear loafers back in the 90's, think thats why I don't like them now! Although I do love heeled brogues!

  • I liked the Jimmy Choo Leopard print ones from last season and have also always wanted an LV or Todds pair, I'm not fussy……

  • Yay for Loafers! I can't help feeling its a bit passive-aggressive of Alexa – she has such perfect legs she looks good in anything! In wearing them with bare legs and a short skirt she's saying 'Don't try this at home, mortals!' – notwithstanding my leg-envy, I love loafers. Toast have a great pair this season I'm drooling over.

  • @ Maya – thanks for the link i had seen them, dont think we will get the collection over here :-(
