Return of the classic shoe –

The Oxford Trend - Farah Esmail

The oft-noted challenge is that Americans and British folks use the same terms to imply different things. The balmoral shoe is also known as an Oxford in Europe and is meant to be plain in its design and detail, making it a classy choice to wear with a business suit. Like many other fashion trends of this millennium, Oxford shoe styles were created made for men; however, they have been easily transitioned into women's wear with different fabrics and textures. We love how there are always changes in fashion and style, don’t you? Girls and boys, we suggest you should grab yourself a pair of the comfortable and ever so versatile shoe.

Girly Oxfords:

Why just stick to the classic old-school style? Embrace the nerdy shoe trend! Slip yourself into some colorful, floral or blinged-out oxfords to sparkle up any of your looks. These need something to contrast their masculinity. Pair these with skinny jeans, tights, a feminine skirt and a throw on your favorite cardigan. You can surprisingly wear them with many things but remember, keep the overall look simple and chic.

Manly Oxfords:

Think of dark colors, leather and canvas. Try an oxford with classic cuts and a shape reminiscent of the men's oxfords. You don’t have to look for delicate details and intricate designs only - be daring and unique. Pair them with dark or light colored skinny jeans or a slim tailored suit for that masculine edge.
