To me, oxford shoes give off a preppy vibe. That’s probably because I had to wear them in Catholic school growing up, so they remind me of knee socks and plaid skirts. This vibe can sometimes make them a little bit difficult to wear, but once you have a pair you love, you’ll see how versatile they can be. If you’re having trouble trying to figure out what to wear yours with, here are 20 style tips on how to wear oxford shoes:
1. Oxford shoes look great with some fall layering.
2. You can make leggings and over-sized sweater look a little less bummy by adding some cute oxford shoes.
3. Make denim shorts work for fall by wearing them over tights and adding oxford shoes, a scarf and a hat.
4. Wear oxford shoes with your boyfriend jeans for a relaxed vibe. Adding a blazer makes the whole outfit a bit more dressed up.
5. Oxford shoes and thigh-high socks are a match made in heaven, and make a skirt and cardigan work for cooler weather.
6. You can still wear your flowered sundress in the fall – just add tights, a warm sweater, and oxford shoes.
