How one can live without a pair of lace up oxford flats in her repertoire of style must-haves, I do not know! I absolutely adore this look. Oxfords are a toned down kind of sexy that can be worn with a variety of looks. Sure, this shoe trend has been floating around for what seems like forever, but that just proves how the look has crossed over into the timeless and classic category. If you’re just starting to break in yours, here are some style tips:
1. Flowers and Lace(ups): A flirty, short floral dress is a lovely contrast to the menswear-inspired trend. We like the Ralph Lauren Collection Elsie Printed Shirtdress. Tip: try wearing yours with a pair of dress socks for a look that’s incredibly au courant.
2. It’s a Wo(man)’s World: Take the men’s look to the next level by pairing your oxfords with a structured blazer, vest, or fedora for a look that’s legitimately cool. We’re obsessed with the J. Crew Panama Hat. Wear with rolled boyfriend jeans or cut-offs.
3. Leave an Im(print): Wild printed tops or bottoms matched with a pair of lace ups emanates a look that is balanced and über-fab. Try printed stockings for a look that’s extra wild. The Clothes Horse just posted a fab look with oxford heels and leopard tights!
