Miu Miu Goes Back to School

For Miu Miu, the school uniform is familiar territory. Collegiate Classics returns to the brand’s preppy side, this time putting the loafer at the center.

The styles come in polished leather and soft suede, with blunt toes, block heels, penny details, croc-stamped finishes, and Mary Jane-inspired cutouts. Some are ruched around the edges, while others feature a small Miu Miu coin across the vamp. They come in black, brown, and oxblood—colors that make the whole thing feel even more rooted in traditional school dressing.

The styling leans into that idea. Loafers are paired with scrunched socks, knee-highs, checked skirts, argyle knits, and layered shirts, all photographed against pale blue floors and a pink leather couch. The images have the slightly awkward feel of school portraits, just much better dressed.

None of this is especially new territory for Miu Miu, which has been playing with uniforms, schoolgirl references, and preppy staples for years. But that familiarity is part of what makes it work. The loafer fits naturally into a world the brand has already made unmistakably its own.
