From Slingbacks to Loafers, These Gucci Shoes Deserve Their Icon Status
Gucci's horsebit slingbacks come in cream, black and light pink.
Whether you have your finger on the fashion pulse or see clothing as a mere necessity, I feel safe in assuming you've heard of Gucci. It's one of those rare brands that everyone is familiar with, designer enthusiast or not.
My first exposure to the Italian label came around age twelve, as my teenage idol Rachel Green attended a job interview on the TV show Friends. "It's spelled like "Gucky", which can be confusing,” she observed. Fast forward a few years, and I watched in awe and fascination as Gucci's sultry cocktail dresses, velvet suiting and regal draping lit up catwalks around the world.
The iconic Gucci loafers were first launched in 1953, now considered one of the label's most successful creations.
Not only do most people know of Gucci, but they've probably admired some of the brand's best hits on Instagram and IRL without even realising it. While many of its runway looks are considerably out-there, the fashion house's accessory repertoire is filled with wearable designs.
Gucci's handbag offering is unparalleled, and in the shoe department, its famed horsebit loafers remain a fashion editor favourite. More recently, the crystal-embellished slingbacks have become a universal obsession, prompting dupes from countless high-street brands (none quite as divine as the real thing).

But there are plenty of other styles from the label that we, TeamBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , believe deserve equal attention. From elevated trainers to sky-high heels, Gucci's footwear selection is the gift that keeps on giving.
