Summer offers an easier approach to life, letting you (hopefully) stress a little less and play a little more. Sun-drenched style is no different, honing in on lightweight fabrics, frilly designs, and dopamine dressing—and Julianne Moore’s New York City ensemble is proof.

While Moore isn’t wearing her chic gray sweater and chocolate-colored checkered skirt to the beach, her carefully crafted Bottega Veneta loafers are genius for the hotter months. The intricate woven design isn’t only a staple characteristic of the fashion house, but it offers a breezier alternative to solid leather silhouettes that can get hot and sweaty.

Though the footwear style is more relaxed than typical dress shoes, it doesn’t sacrifice the innate class and sophistication of traditional loafers. The detailed design actually elevates the style, putting intentionality and deliberate fashion knowledge at the forefront.
This is thanks to the fisherman aesthetic that oozes through each overlay, proving you’re an in-the-know dresser who’s on top of current trends. Moore gets this, finishing off her look with a coordinating $4,400 Pinacoteca bag from the same designer—which highlights yet another style cycle taking over the fashion scene.
But who says you have to stop at closely-braided looks? When it comes to woven loafers, you can opt for on-the-nose options like these Trotters slip-ons, or airier versions similar to the Dolce Vita Armond loafers. It all comes down to personal preference, weighing the options between a sleeker, tightly-knit design or laid-back breezy build.
Find your favorite version of Moore’s innovative summer shoes, below, and get ready to sport them from boat trips to park picnics.
