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.
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.
