Premium Calfskin Leather, Refined Slim Silhouette

For Autumn/Winter 2013, Gucci proposes a rugged elegance infused with authentic British style. The latest looks for the Gucci man, which reinterpret traditional British fabrics like checks and houndstooth, are perfected by a fusion of gentlemanly grace and the wardrobe of cavalry soldiers—in other words, military elements. It's a bold, effortless, and truly modern way of dressing, elevating the simple yet refined country taste unique to Europe.




For instance, the Chesterfield coat, with its elegant, refined silhouette, is a quintessential piece of British gentleman's winter attire. However, instead of perfectly coordinating with dress shoes, the key to this season's Gucci man style lies in a more casual approach, achieved by pairing the coat with boots. Simply being elegant is not enough; the current mood favors a relaxed, understated style. Indeed, in Gucci's Autumn/Winter 2013 collection, military-style short boots are paired with every look except for evening wear.





However, simply adopting heavy military boots would result in an overly bulky silhouette, lacking urban sophistication. Therefore, Gucci proposes two types of short boots, crafted from high-quality calfskin leather with a refined sheen and a crisp, firm texture, featuring a sleek, slim silhouette. They add a robust masculinity to relaxed, chunky knits, and provide a subtle, sophisticated ease when paired with sharp jackets. One style features laces, while the other has an elegant belt buckle; both are remarkably lightweight. These are boots you should truly try on for yourself.



Compared to the belt-buckle version, the lace-up boots have a more masculine silhouette that isn't overly slim, leaning more towards a military aesthetic. The U-tip, originally a country shoe and now widely appreciated for its compatibility with business attire, is perfect for that 'just the right amount of casual' look. Available in a deep brown, reminiscent of vintage Bordeaux, and a chic black, these two colors offer entirely different expressions.

Meanwhile, the belt-buckle boots, with their rounded toe, have a casual impression, but the metallic hardware and the elegant cap toe, suitable for formal wear, create a sophisticated finish. They exude a subtle allure within their masculinity. These also come in two colors: a sharp black and a smoky brown.

These classic military boots have been sophisticated by Gucci. The supple leather will mold to your feet with wear, deepening its character over time. With a pair you can cherish for years to come, embrace this autumn and winter with your own bold sense of style.
