10 Affordable Ways to Wear Gucci This Summer
Ever since Alessandro Michele stepped up to the creative helm at Gucci, it’s been the luxury brand on everyone’s mind. Irreverent, maximalist, beautiful… Every collection dazzles and delights in equal measure, serving up rainbow-striped jackets, gem-encrusted sunglasses and must-have handbags more desirable than the last. It’s an effect that continues to influence the high street, from the backless loafers everyone is sporting (a riff on the brand’s cult Princetown slippers) to the pearl embellishments we’re seeing everywhere.
Saving up for a Gucci bag (there are weird and wonderful options as well as truly practical ones) or pair of loafers is a smart investment, as these items will see you through many seasons to come. Thanks to the volume of carefully designed goods on offer, there isn’t just one cult buy. There’s such a plentiful choice in terms of price points, vibes, finishes and fabrics that no one item is in danger of becoming ubiquitous. We’ve picked out the best pieces (and more affordable options) to invest in below with a little styling inspiration thrown in.
The classic GG belt goes with everything—from stonewashed jeans to smart dresses. You’ll be handing this piece down to future generations, guaranteed.
Hair accessories are the current gift that keeps on giving, so go loud and proud with a blingy logo style to add a designer edge to your bonce.

Bumbags are big news, and a monogrammed Gucci version is the icing on the hands-free cake. This print was created in the ’60s, so you know it’s not going to date.
Yes, a three-figure sum is an awful lot to spend on a tee, but you’ll revisit this one forever.

In keeping with its maximalist values, plain trainers have no place in a Gucci-centered wardrobe. After all, why should they when the brand’s sneakers look this fabulous?
Sometimes it’s all in the details, and this is certainly the case when it comes to the Gucci brooch. If your budget doesn’t quite extend to a bag or pair of shoes, then simply add the brand’s bow to a white shirt and you’ll look a million dollars.
A swimsuit might not seem like the obvious choice when it comes to Gucci, but actually, it’s surprisingly versatile. Doubling-up as a bodysuit, you can wear one with everything from shorts and skirts to high-waisted trousers.
Imitations are in plentiful supply, but the original backless loafers are the Princetown. Play it safe in black, or embrace a loud colour if you’re feeling bold.
While the big name bags continue to reign supreme in the Gucci style stakes, make sure you don’t overlook the cheaper, but no less impactful iterations. The Gucci shopper tote not only looks the part but will also fit your life in and comes in at half the price.
