The Ultimate Autumn Shoe Capsule: AM to PM with Gabor
October is here, which means it’s time to settle into your autumn wardrobe. While September is all about the slow transition between seasons, October is when we reach for the pieces we know will see us through the months ahead, especially our favourite autumn boots, loafers and trainers.
To make building your autumn shoe capsule a little easier, we’ve picked three Gabor styles to take you from morning to evening. A loafer, trainer and boot, three everyday silhouettes that can rotate effortlessly from September through to December.
So, what does an autumn day with Gabor look like? Let’s take you from AM to PM.
The Leader: Morning
Crisp autumn mornings call for a shoe that makes getting ready feel that little bit easier. Enter the Leader. Fringe loafers are having a moment this season, moving beyond traditional workwear and into everyday autumn dressing. Think relaxed denim, oversized jumpers and chunky autumnal socks for a more casual take, or keep them as your polished workwear staple.
The Leader combines a luxurious suede upper with a leather lining, bringing together a premium finish and a cosy feel. In the rich cocoa shade, the burnt-brown colourway works beautifully with autumn layers and tailored dressing alike.
A 3.5cm low heel makes them ideal for everyday wear, while the slip-on design means they’re wonderfully easy to put on when you’re heading out the door. The standout detail has to be the metal bar across the fringe, adding a subtle designer-inspired touch to an already timeless loafer.
Morning mood: coffee in hand, tailored trousers, oversized knit and a pair of Leader to start the day.
The Globe: Afternoon
Come afternoon, plans can change. Perhaps the working day is over, and you’re heading out for errands, meeting family or taking the dog for a walk. This is where Globe comes in.
This season, the Globe arrives in a new mulberry suede colourway, bringing an instant dose of autumn to your everyday trainer rotation. The mixed suede and leather upper features scalloped detailing and retro-inspired side elements, while the burgundy and cream combination feels effortlessly seasonal.
A microfibre lining and removable insole offer everyday comfort and practicality, while the 3cm heel height keeps each step feeling easy. Finished with classic lace fastening, it has all the familiarity of an everyday trainer with a little more personality. The rich burgundy shade works surprisingly well with dark denim, black and cream, whether you keep the rest of your outfit pared back or pick out the colour again with a jumper or accessory.
Afternoon mood: swap the workwear for denim, add a cosy knit and let Globe bring the autumn colour.
The Shari: Evening
As the day moves into evening, it’s time for a little more impact. A classic black boot is an autumn essential, and the Shari brings a bold, chunky take to the wardrobe staple.
Crafted from luxurious leather, the Shari features both a side zip and front zip, giving the classic ankle boot an unexpected point of difference. A microfibre lining adds a cosy feel, while the chunky ribbed sole provides a 4.5cm lift for an elevated finish.
The removable insole also offers practical flexibility, making the Shari a boot designed to work around you.
Whether you’re heading from work to dinner, going pumpkin picking or ticking off a spooky-season activity, the Shari is made for autumn evenings. Pair with longer-length skirts and dresses to let the chunky sole make an impact or keep things casual with jeans and a cosy knit.
Evening mood: layers on, black boot secured and ready for whatever the evening has planned.
AM to PM with Gabor
Three shoes, one autumn day. From the polished ease of the Leader to the seasonal colour of the Globe and the bold versatility of the Shari, your autumn shoe capsule can be as interchangeable as your plans.
