September Never Looked So Good: Gabor’s September Style Guide
Step into style this September with Gabor’s latest autumn collection, from polished patent trainers to timeless Mary Jane shoes and everyday suede favourites.
There is something about September that makes us want to reset our wardrobes. The lighter mornings, the return to routine, and that first hint of autumn in the air all offer the perfect excuse to rediscover our style. Of course, dressing for September in the UK is never quite that simple. One minute we are enjoying the last of the summer sunshine, and the next we reach for a jacket as the rain arrives. It is that familiar in-between season where we are not quite ready to put our summer wardrobe away, but we are more than ready to introduce a few autumnal touches.
This month, think of easy layers, richer tones, tactile textures and footwear that works effortlessly from one plan to the next.
The Halo
Patent leather has a certain September feeling to it. Glossy, sophisticated and effortlessly polished, it feels perfect for stepping back into a more organised routine. The Halo loafer in black royal brings that elevated feeling to a timeless everyday silhouette.
Crafted with a glossy patent leather upper and luxurious leather lining, it feels premium from the moment you put it on. The classic slip-on design makes getting ready wonderfully easy, while the 2.5cm heel adds just enough lift for a subtly elevated finish. The sleek black patent catches the light beautifully, bringing a refined touch to everyday dressing without feeling overdone. Easy to style and effortlessly versatile, it’s a wardrobe staple for the season ahead.
Pair the Halo with a timeless black midi dress and oversized check jacket for an easy autumn look. Checked outerwear adds texture and structure, while a simple everyday earring keeps things understated. Finish with a satin printed scarf for another touch of pattern and texture; tie it around your waist, wear it in your hair, or knot it onto your favourite handbag.
The Glam
Seen repeatedly across fashion weeks, the Mary Jane silhouette has become one of the season’s most recognisable trends. Gabor’s Glam Mary Jane court shoe puts a beautifully polished spin on the look, making it an easy addition to an autumn wardrobe. The glossy patent leather upper reflects the light with every step, while the traditional buckle fastening across the foot gives the shoe its unmistakable Mary Jane character. A softly rounded toe adds elegance and balance to the silhouette, creating a look that feels feminine without being overly delicate.
The 5.5cm block heel provides flattering height while distributing weight more evenly, helping to make the shoe comfortable to walk in. A TPU sole provides grip, while the wider fitting offers a roomier feel. It is the kind of shoe that earns its place in your wardrobe quickly, ready for work, dinner dates, celebrations and everything in between.
For a more fashion-forward September look, we have paired the Glam Mary Jane with another trend that continues to make its mark: polka dots. A floaty red polka-dot satin midi skirt and sleek high-neck top create beautiful movement against the structured shape and glossy finish of the Mary Jane shoe. The contrast is what makes the outfit work: soft, fluid fabric balanced with a more defined shoe silhouette.
The Temptation
For those days when you want to look polished but still want to feel completely comfortable, meet the Gabor Temptation shoe. Combining mixed suede and patent leather to create a sophisticated texture contrast. It instantly elevates the silhouette, while the luxurious textile lining and practical TR sole make it suitable for everyday wear.
With a 3cm heel, Temptation gives you the elegant feel of a court shoe with the ease of something much closer to a flat. The stretch slip-on design makes it simple to put on and take off, while a delicate bow across the toe adds a feminine finishing touch. Bows have continued to make an appearance across fashion seasons, thanks to their ability to instantly soften and elevate an outfit. Here, the detail feels subtle rather than overly sweet, just enough to make the shoe feel special.
The rich mocca shade of Temptation has a subtle burgundy undertone, making it the perfect starting point for a softer autumn colour palette. We have paired it with a knitted polo top featuring pink and burgundy stripes, bringing together another enduring seasonal trend: stripes. The texture of the knit works beautifully against the mixed suede and patent finish of the shoe, while crisp white trousers keep the overall outfit feeling fresh.
The Wisdom
If there is one colour that effortlessly bridges summer and autumn, it’s brown. The Gabor Wisdom trainer in mocca brown is made for exactly this moment in the season. Soft, sophisticated and incredibly easy to style, it brings an autumnal feel to an everyday trainer without looking too heavy.
The suede upper gives the Wisdom a beautifully soft finish, complemented by a luxurious leather lining for comfort and durability. A ribbed TR sole adds everyday practicality, while the 3.5cm heel provides a subtle lift. With both lace and zip fastening, Wisdom offers flexibility when it comes to fit and makes those busy mornings that little bit easier. The removable insole also gives you the option to personalise the fit to suit you.
For a relaxed look, try a pair of yellow-striped trousers with a simple brown tee, creating a warm tonal base that allows the trainer to blend effortlessly into the outfit. Then have fun with the accessories. A pale-yellow claw clip, headband or handbag picks up the brighter tones, while layered gold bracelets complement the gold detailing on the Wisdom.
