Bond's Best: Gucci Jordaan Leather Horsebit Loafer

It's that time of year again when late summer days give way to the early chill of autumn. When considering transitional pieces for your new-season wardrobe, what better shoe to style with an oversized blazer, pair of black trousers or light cashmere knit than a classic black loafer?

The Gucci Jordaan's new slender shape is an update on the Florentine luxury house's iconic shoe style, which was first launched in 1953. This latest incarnation (£645) features sumptuously soft, supple leather topped with a signature antiqued gold-tone horsebit detail across the front. And with its refined back-to-school vibe, this pair of effortlessly chic Jordaans are just the ticket for any unseasonably warm days when wardrobe dilemmas abound.
