We routinely turn to Janet Gunn to uncover fresh style ideas. After all, she’s an L.A.-based influencer who consistently posts inspiring outfits and shopping recommendations that are equal parts chic and easy to fit within her laid-back California vibe. She previously shared some of the flat-shoe silhouettes she thinks are great. We wanted to expand upon that and learn about the current shoe styles and trends she’s wearing. In fact, Gunn mentioned that basically everyone she knows in L.A. is also wearing said silhouettes.
The footwear picks that are appealing to Gunn and her friends really do run the gamut, but they’re all simple and easy to style. You know, like sleek loafers. Keep scrolling for more, including visual inspiration from Gunn. There’s also a smattering of shoes to shop if you want to add one of her coveted styles to your rotation.
Loafers

"With trousers or denim, this classic never goes out of style, wherever you live."
White and Black Booties

"Boots of all heights and styles are having another moment. Whether you like a combat, knee-high, or bootie style, make sure you have a pair in both black and white to stay current with the boot trend this season."

Cool Sneakers
On Gunn: Alice+Olivia skirt; Rag & Bone sweater; Golden Goose sneakers
"The sneaker game is still strong in L.A. I love how they can give an easygoing but stylish vibe whether worn with jeans or a dress or skirt."
Slides
On Gunn: Roam slides
"In L.A., everyone owns a pair of slides. In the fall, I still wear my open-toe style. In the winter, I opt to slide them on with a funky pair of socks."
Oxfords and Derby Shoes
On Gunn: Angela Scott shoes
"I love oxfords because they add a powerful punch to any outfit. They make me feel confident, shouting, 'I mean business.'"
