The Oxford Shoe the Female Way

Oxfords have made it to the top in the last couple of years: the implied elegance, the vintage air evoked and the old-fashioned masculinity in the design have created a luscious shoe. Now, after adding a pinch of sugar to the mix, the coveted oxford has become decadent, sweet and full of color. It's just like making jeans for women's curves, these feel like oxfords made for us. Embrace the trend and bring it into summer with comfy dresses and tapered pastel pants.
