How to Wear Oxford Shoes

The essential Oxford shoe. It is fashion magic cluster of intellect, charm, chic, feminine and masculine rolled into one.

The Oxford shoe originated in Ireland and Scotland and then made its way into men’s wardrobes here in the US. In more recent years, girls are getting in on the Oxford shoe game. The market has, of course, responded to the interest with more styles, fits and sizes for women.

Reasons to Love Oxford Shoes

  • Oxfords deliver an instant classy charm. They can also turn an otherwise-basic outfit into geek-chic or masculine-chic all on their own.
  • The women’s Oxford is perfect transition shoe for the fall season. They pair easily with summer dresses (geek chic) or trousers and a light sweater (masculine-chic).
  • Team an Oxford shoe with tights and a short skirt, and your legs will look longer and slimmer.
  • The Oxford’s low color contrast makes the shoe very versatile.
