Oxfords: The New Flats

            I have seen a lot of people wearing these new oxford flats, which I really have found intriguing every time I see a woman with them on. These shoes always struck me as something you only see on individuals who tap dance. Or I have even thought of these shoes to be more manly in appearance, this is most likely because in the 1900’s they were men’s dress shoes. Well, apparently these oxfords have become the new “flat” for women, in which you are able to wear anywhere and for any occasion. According to Sienna Miller, a style icon, there are six ways in which you wear these new oxford flats:

1) Casual Chic: all you need is skinny jeans and a loose t-shirt.

2) Sexy Casual: a great pair of slightly loose jeans (rolled up, just above the ankle), and match this with a tight v-neck sweater.

3) Preppy Casual: pleated cuffed trousers and a loose blouse.

4) Evening Casual: sleek skinny pants and an oversized sweater.

5) Party Chic: This involves heeled oxfords, but you can pair them with black tights, a short dress, and a cropped blazer. Don’t forget some fierce jewelry.

6) Cruise Casual: wear your light colored oxfords with a short full skirt and a tank top.

These are a few tips provided by Sienna Miller, on how to sport your new oxford flats (or heels) without appearing “manly.” Information, and Sienna's tips were received from www.retrovintageshoes.com. Below, I have also provided a link for a site in which you can purchase these bright and stylish oxford flats, for $38.
