Shop for the fashion season
Spring ,as in the real season and not the fashion season – is fast
approaching once again. It’s time to put those Wellingtons back into
warm weather hibernation and put your best leather-clad foot forward.
And for 2009, the best shoes to wear for that activity would be the
shiniest Gucci shoes you could get your hands on.
Patent or shiny shoes are by no means a revolutionary new trend. They’ve already made their rounds in the women’s Gucci shoes section
a couple of years back, and have now crossed the sex boundary into the
male domain. A long-time staple in the formalwear repertoire, the new
in thing is to mix up high-shine Gucci shoes with more casual clothing pieces.
Of course, patent leather shoes are the quintessential gentleman’s
accessories for formal evenings and black-tie events. Designs like this
patent black Gucci laceup are classics in any collection of
men’s shoes. But you can move beyond the realm of the black tie affair
yet still remain on-trend.
When combined with less formal designs like loafers , Gucci leather
could either modernize a formal look or jazz up a more casual one. In
fact, any lace-less design – which is often seen as the more casual
version of the Gucci shoes – gets an instant style upgrade from the
added shine. And you can’t deny that Gucci really is eye-catching, no matter what you do.
Even more casual is the Gucci sneaker design that Gucci popularized
a couple of seasons back with their brightly colored patent high-cut
shoes. Now every brand has come up with its own version of this hot
must-have item. It doesn’t stop at black either; colors from fire
engine red to midnight blue have been seen down the runways. They’re
great for adding life to even your plainest and oldest jeans-and-tee
combo.
If you want to get on with this trend, you’d better get on with the
program soon. People seem to be picking up on new fashion movements
rather quickly nowadays, so your Gucci shoes could be more ‘has-been’ than ‘haute’ in just a couple of months.
