When you hear the word Gucci, what are your initial thoughts? Harry Styles, maybe? That iconic GG logo? Or do you automatically think of expensive, investment buys? The answer may be all three. But while the Italian fashion house is known for creating luxury pieces worn by every A-lister going—including Sienna Miller, Jennifer Aniston, Beyoncé and Rihanna—Gucci items can also be more accessible than you originally may think.

Gucci sunglasses are always a great investment. and Renia proves why with this oversized pair.
Of course, dresses from the runway or a new-season Gucci bag will set you back thousands of pounds, but there are some more reasonably priced pieces you can invest in. The label is particularly good at creating It accessories that are instantly recognisable. Let’s take the Gucci belt, for example. Most people will be able to spot one from a mile off. And then there are the supersized shades adorned with the double G that, frankly, cannot be missed. And don’t even get us started on Gucci loafers.
The fact is, a lot of these investment accessories are in the hundreds rather than thousands, so we’ve decided to find all the best under-£500 items that’ll instantly make any outfit look more expensive. There are even T-shirts, swimsuits, jeans and bags (pre-loved) you can shop for this price.
