In the 1990's, Gucci's moneyed market share grew apace with their iconic branding of everything from handbags to ice-cube trays. — Faran Alexis Krentcil

Key Departments

Shoes

Gucci's shoe department is unparalleled. Bejeweled heels and sharp leather loafers share shelves with sleek sport sneakers and even G-stamped flip flops.

Men's Formalwear

Gucci offers manifold options for polished, streamlined suits (from $1,300), and two ultrastyled mohair tuxedos ($2,300 to $2,800). The Signoria has a notch lapel with a satin trim; the Manhattan has a satin-faced peak lapel. Gucci also does made-to-order apparel.

Cuff Links

The luxury megabrand’s contributions to men’s wrists range from a simple silver set to a pair studded with onyx. There’s a smattering of stylistic accents—sixties mod, say, or modern artisan—but they all share a signature look: sleek, clean, and masculine.
