If you’ve stepped out in
smoking slippers, oxfords are the next frontier in flats. I’m drawn to the
sleek silhouettes with ribbon laces and patterned cut-outs – and staying far
away from those with clunky soles and close similarity to saddles.
Ankle jeans ensure the shoes’
distinguishing details aren’t concealed. The boyish casualness of relaxed,
rolled-cuff jeans (and cut-offs in the summer) mix well with the oxfords’
girlish refinement.
Oxfords’ origins may be
masculine, but the evolutions here are updated and feminine. It would be easy
(and expected) to slip on a skirt with these flats for dainty-on-dainty
parity. But adding them to rugged, distressed denim shows
leader-of-the-pack creativity and confidence in dressing out of the box.
Shop: one. two. three. four. five.
