Jenna Ortega Just Wore Autumn’s Chicest Flat Shoe, Burgundy Loafers

A fresh force on the fashion scene, Jenna Ortega is one of my favourite people to look towards for styling inspiration right now. Favouring wardrobe staples with a preppy twist, the actor’s style is decidedly timeless, wearable and always chic.

Naturally, when I caught wind of Ortega’s arrival at Venice Film Festival I was intrigued. Stepping out in sunny Italy, the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star styled an elevated outfit that captured some of autumn’s most-important trends. Wearing a boxy blazer complete with a bold checked print and a pleated beige miniskirt, Ortega’s look was off to a typically stylish start, but it was her chic shoe choice that really made me do a double take.

Styling a chunky loafers in a rich burgundy shade, Ortega wove autumn’s key colour trend into her outfit in a low-key way that says “yes, I’m in the know”.

Rich, opulent and so easy to work into a capsule wardrobe, this autumn colour trend is dark enough to look like a neutral, yet bold enough to catch your attention. A striking jewel tone, the shade is naturally expensive looking, and pairs well with other jewel shades such as emerald and sapphire, yet looks equally elegant when paired with neutral tones such as brown, black and beige.
