Dakota Johnson has been doing her due diligence as our celebrity style mentor this summer, from showcasing how to reject the skinny jeans trend with aplomb to swanning around Ibiza with A-list friends in mesh flats and satin skirts.
But now the summer frolicking is coming to a close and, much like us regular folk, Dakota Johnson is defrosting her autumn wardrobe and retiring the bikinis and chic beach cover-ups, at least until next summer’s private yachts come knocking. Recently spotted on a trip to Erewhon (where the LA elite flock for their raw almond milk and astragalus fix), Dakota was spotted in the go-to laidback, off-duty-model outfit combo: oversized tee (half tucked-in, of course), loose straight-leg jeans, and a pair of black Gucci loafers.

Though loafers are a pretty timeless and versatile choice of footwear, they’ve had something of a resurgence this year, with everyone from Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence sporting the ‘dad loafer’ trend, to Hailey Bieber seemingly sporting a new pair of loafers every week to complete her casual, preppy ‘fits. But for Dakota, the loafer love affair is longstanding.
From city walks with J-Law in long coats and sunglasses to running errands in a timeless shirt + tailored trousers combo, the Materialists star has been pairing loafers with her casual, effortless autumn outfits for many years. So take a leaf out of Dakota’s back-to-school-dressing rulebook and pair your favourite pair of baggy jeans with a plain grey or white T-shirt, sunnies, minimal jewellery, and a pair of loafers. Overpriced green juice optional.
You can shop Dakota’s favourite pair of Gucci Jordaan Loafers (and some slightly more affordable alternatives from the likes of M&S and H&M) below, or find out which loafers our editors are shopping for autumn.
