Next : Next spells office wear for many, but they've quietly been doing a steady line in all manner of loafers for years. £45 ( Buy ) Photograph: NEXT Next: The lifted toe is ever so slight, but a well executed design when it comes to tempering the shoe's sturdy look. £45 ( Buy ) Photograph: next.co.uk Photograph: next Pied D Terre: The block heel balances out the navy to hit the right amount of chunky and feminine. But it's the jagged trim we love. Down from £125 to £56 ( Buy ) Photograph: pieddterre.com Photograph: PIED A TERRE New Look : Admittedly, this is a highly sexualised version of the heeled loafer. Yes, the stiletto heel is ever so thin and tall. And yes, the platform base isn't something you'd usually associated with a laid-back loafer. But if you're prepared to dip a toe (sorry) in this footwear trend, the £24.99 isn't a bad place to start.

We like M&S's dash of patent detail on the toe. £25.00 ( Buy ) Photograph: marksandspencer.com Photograph: 130/T02 Kurt Geiger: The devil's in the detail with this one, namely the suede tassles against an otherwise totally patent shoe.

But not only are wedges, like, so on trend, but they offer broader support than other heels. And the light tan colour is just lovely. £40 ( Buy ) Photograph: next Dune: The heel height on this one is simply listed as 'very high'. We would also classify this look as 'very 1990s'. Team with a bomber jacket and big gold earrings if you really want to run with the look. £95 ( Buy ) Photograph: dune Next : Ta-dah! Shiny, chocolate brown, tassled and ultra-feminine. A distinctively grand variation on a theme. £38 ( Buy ) Photograph: next.co.uk Photograph: Action images
