If you’ve been searching for a pair of elegant flats that look far more expensive than their price tag, these navy velvet loafers from House of Bruar are hard to beat. Priced at just £39.95, they offer a polished designer-inspired look without the three-figure price tag after Meghan Markle recently stepped out in a sold-out pair worth $179 (around £132).
The Duchess of Sussex wore the chic navy loafers to the special screening of Cookie Queens last week, pairing them with a camel knit and tailored white shorts for an effortlessly sophisticated look. While Meghan’s exact shoes were the Nina Tassel Velvet Loafers from J.McLaughlin, House of Bruar’s affordable alternative delivers the same luxurious velvet finish and sleek pointed-toe silhouette for less than a third of the price.
Crafted from soft velvet with an easy slip-on design, they’re the sort of shoe that works all year round. Style them with tailored trousers for the office, jeans at the weekend or a floaty midi dress for an elegant finishing touch.
There is one noticeable difference between the two styles. Meghan’s designer loafers featured a decorative tassel across the front, while House of Bruar has opted for a cleaner, more understated finish that makes them even easier to dress up or down.
If navy isn’t your colour, the loafers are also available in timeless black and rich emerald green, making them a versatile addition to almost any wardrobe.
At £39.95, they’re exceptional value compared with Meghan’s designer pair, proving you don’t have to spend hundreds of pounds to recreate the Duchess’s effortlessly classic style.
