Get excited! The prep school staple, lace-up oxfords, are back in style this Spring. By far, they are one of my fave types of flats because the pairing options are endless.
Note: just because oxfords are a masculine classic, doesn’t mean you have to pull out a full menswear outfit like Rihanna or preppy look like Blake Lively to wear them.
I prefer to wear mine with a flouncy floral Spring frock or full skirt for the perfect balance of femininity and masculine prep. Sienna Miller, Olivia Palermo, Taylor Swift and Rihanna KILL this look!
They can be worn casually as well with a pair of shorts, skinny jeans like Katy Perry & Rihanna, cropped jeans like Jessica Biel or leggings like Rih.
If you want to dress up the look, try a pair of oxford heels for a polished flair like Taylor Swift.
The best thing about this season’s oxfords is they come with a stylish, feminine twist. There are patent leather, glitter, floral, metallic and bright-colored styles, even one with a pop of color with a neon sole (I live!).
