Hockerty Bit Loafers
Indeed, Gucci did invent them, that's why they are mainly known as Gucci loafers, but Hockerty created the first online 3D loafers designer where you can create the bit loafers for men the way you want it, without limitations.
What are Horsebit Loafers?
The main thing that differentiates a horsebit loafer from other loafers, is its metal detail across the vamp. Overall, the horsebit loafer has the same construction as other loafers, leaving the ankle open.
Who Invented Horsebit Loafers?
Horsebit loafers were invented in 1953 by Aldo Gucci, hence why they are mostly known as Gucci loafers. It all began with a trip to New York, when Aldo noticed many people wearing plain loafers. That's when he came up with the idea of adding a metal detail, similar to a horsebit snaffle. The decorative element has two interlocked rounded ends, that symbolise the letter 'G', to represent the brand.
How to Wear Horsebit Loafers
A horsebit loafer belongs in the more formal category and looks great with business casual outfits. They look great when combined with suits, blazer outfits or even shorts. When wearing horsebit loafers, make sure your pants are ankle length, or else your loafers will end up looking rather odd if you pants extend over the ankle.
