Stylish People in London Are Wearing This Polished Shoe Now

Much like the start of a school year, autumn marks the beginning of a new fashion year. It feels like a momentous reset, as the days start to cool, we prepare our wardrobes for the chilly months ahead, which will stick around until the first flowers bloom in spring. For some, the new season is denoted by the September equinox; for others, it’s the first walk through crunching leaves. For me, it’s signalled by my first sighting of a Gucci loafer. As soon as I set my sights upon the iconic horsebit motif, it’s apparent that a shift is underway. But this year, it wasn’t the classic loafer that signalled this change in mood, but a fresh silhouette in the form of the Gucci Horsebit Boot.

From the style set to my fellow editors, it seems that this shoe is already making a play for the It style of the season. Whilst offering a boot silhouette with its ankle length form, the feature that sets this style apart is the sleek design details that nod to the classic loafer. Noting the slip-on style, the high front vamp and the lace-less design, the Horsebit boot bridges the gap between loafer and boot, forming its own defining silhouette, one that has timeless appeal ingrained in every stitch.
