Trend Alert: Brogues (aka Oxford Shoes)
After all of the exotic heels of the last few seasons, we’re pleased to see the return of a classic shoe, the brogue. Also known as oxfords, brogues are a quintessential piece in mens’ shoe closets. But brogues aren’t just for men. Women are embracing this menswear classic, pairing them with anything from cuffed jeans to tights and dresses. Regardless of what you wear your brogues with, the key to getting the look right is to counterbalance the masculine influence of brogues with a feminine silhouette or details. Here’s our seven favorite pairs of brilliant brogues:
1. Etienne Aigner Ravine | $78.95 at Zappos
2. Steve by Steve Madden Melin Oxford | $98.95 at Nordstrom
3. Steve Madden Harah Oxford | $79.95 at Nordstrom
