I have always been a fan of menswear for girls! I feel however, if your going to do it, you've gotta do it right! I didn't mind Katie Holmes in her man's jeans that turned into the huge
frenzy over "BOYFRIEND" cut denim
for ladies last year! I think that it is incredibly sexy to wear your guy's button down shirt or baggy rugby striped sweater! And, let's not forget the comfort factor! Soooo snuggly to wear! But, since this is a SHOE blog...I had to write about the up and coming trend for women...the men's OXFORD shoe! In
the 30's and 40's style icon actresses like Katharine Hepburn and Jean Harlow sported gentelmanly lace ups and oxfords along with a menswear shirt and trouser! Well, in 2010...the trend is back and better than ever! Every designer in the shoe world is churning out their version of the shoe including Michael Kors, Christian Louboutin and Robert Clergerie. Celebrities like Sienna Miller, Alexa Chung and Kate Moss have definitely caught on to the 30's look and I have to admit, so have I!
I decided last week to hit up a few of my favorite thrifty-glam stores here in Denver and was not surprised to find that most of them had a lace up shoe version. I tried on four or five pairs and decided on a pointy toe, chestnut color boyish pair!
I have already worn them a few times and have received compliments from random people while standing downtown! I like to wear them with black leggings and a baggy top or skinny jeans and a button down, maybe add a cardi for layering! These shoes may be classified as a "dress shoe" for the guys, but it's the girls that are making them chic, casual and fun!
Below I have included a few pics of menswear shoes that I found. I especially love the fresh, peachy hued metallic pair!
my vintage pair! :) love them!
