How to Create an Italian Aperitivo at Home

Shoes are easily my favourite thing to shop for. There are so many styles constantly coming out, whether they be trendy or classic. Every time designers release a new shoe, a dupe is often soon to follow by more affordable high-street brands. I’m one of the people that will include a dupe into my wardrobe before I shell out the money to invest in a designer option. It is my way of testing to see if I would actually wear the style of shoe often, and if it would work in my wardrobe instead of just sitting and looking lovely on a shoe rack.

That being said, I’m sure everyone has seen the eye-catching Gucci loafers that have been taking social media by storm for the past year. Not only is there the classic leather option, but also the fur-lined trendy option. I tend to favour the more classic option, but that’s just me. Recently, I’ve stumbled across one of the most incredible dupes for Gucci’s classic mule loafers. Even better – they’re only 22 dollars. Yes, you read that right. You can shop this pair of mules here, as well as similar styles at the end of the post if you favour the more trendy options.

These mules have been my go-to shoe choice ever since I’ve added them to my wardrobe. Super easy to chuck on for a quick run to the store, but also sleek and elegant to pair with a nice pair of trousers or denim for a more toned-down, casual look. I’ve even gone so far as to wear them with a sweater and bikini for a lakeside option. Honestly, the possibilities with these shoes are endless!
