The Gucci Shoe Edit: The Pairs Defining the Season

The new Gucci loafers are the neutral ones, in black and brown suede and polished black leather, finished with a gold Horsebit. The Horsebit loafer was introduced in 1953, and it is the house's best-known shoe.

 

The Jordaan Horsebit-embellished logo-debossed suede loafers is the black suede pair and the Boulevard Horsebit-embellished logo-debossed suede loafers and the Jordaan Horsebit-embellished logo-debossed suede loafers are the rust suede pairs. The Emily Moccasin horsebit-detailed suede loafers and the Emily Moccasin horsebit-detailed suede loafers are the Emily Moccasin loafers in brown and tan suede, while the Rhody Horsebit-embellished leather loafers and the Rhody Horsebit-detailed suede loafers sit on a lug sole in black leather and brown suede, and the Rhody horsebit-embellished shearling-lined leather slip-ons adds a shearling trim.

 

For the story behind the Horsebit, read the Gucci icons edit.

The Gucci pumps I would choose this season are pointed, sleek and tonal. The Sharp patent-leather pumps and the Galleria 60 horsebit-detailed leather pumps are the black pointed pairs, the Signora Horsebit leather pumps is the block-heeled option, and the Signora 85 Horsebit-embellished patent-leather pumps is a deep chocolate patent.

 

The Vittoria 55 horsebit-embellished suede slingback pumps is a mustard slingback, and for the warmer evenings ahead the Donna embellished leather wedge sandals, the Donna 80 Horsebit-embellished patent-leather wedge sandals and the Donna 80 Horsebit-embellished patent-leather wedge sandals are the wedges, in silver, black patent and cream.

The Gucci boots that matter this season are tall, pointed and almost entirely black or brown. The Donna 110 Horsebit-detailed leather over-the-knee boots and the Donna 110 Horsebit-detailed leather knee boots are the two black leather boots, and the Donna 80 horsebit-detailed leather knee boots and the Bombshell 85 perforated suede knee boots are the brown knee boots, the last one in suede.

 

The Donna 80 Horsebit-detailed leather ankle boots and the Donna Horsebit leather ankle boots are the ankle boots in black leather with a gold Horsebit on the toe, the Donna Horsebit leather ankle boots is the same style in deep brown, and the Boulevard Horsebit leather Chelsea boots is the flat Chelsea with Horsebit hardware.

 

For the bag to carry with them, see the Gucci bag edit.

I would begin with one loafer, one boot and one pump, in that order. A pair of black suede loafers and a tall black boot go with nearly everything.

 

Add the pump for evenings, and then the wedge for the warmer trips. For the clothes to wear with them, see the Gucci wardrobe edit and for the finishing touches, the Gucci accessories edit.
