Fab Chick Trend Alert: Menswear Chic
Flat Oxford Shoes

One shoe trend that's trickling over into this fall season is the menswear inspired flat oxford shoe. We're taking everything out of our guy's closets, their jeans, and their blazers. And now we're drawing inpsiration from their shoes. For a day of running around, instead of a sneaker or a ballet flat, an oxford shoe can provide a little more of a polished look. Think english men.

This season many shoe retailers have come out with great versions of the "man's shoe". There are a variety of hues, textures and styles available. Wingtips have been made to be cute, and ladylike dispite the manly origins. Instead of the classic black and white, they've gotten girlie with browns, pinks, and even metallics. Here are a few options at different price points.

Splurge:

(L to R): Esquivel Juliana $595, Maloles $455, Christian Louboutin $595

Moderate:

(L to R): Hassia $275, Pour La Victoire $226, J Crew $225

Steal:

(L to R): Jeffrey Campbell $109, Joy & Alexandre Herchovitch $100, Steve Madden $99.95

The key to pulling of the oxford flat works the same as any other menswear inspired look. It's best to keep the rest of you look feminine. It's always safe to not go full on menswear if you aren't sure. So try those boyfriend shoes one for size.
