Street Style Stars Are Loving Oxford Shoes! Here's How to Wear Them in Unexpected Ways

If you choose two-toned oxfords, treat them as the building blocks of your look. To avoid costume-y vibes, wear them with streamlined silhouettes in the same shades, like black cropped skinny jeans and a crisp white button-front blouse.

Oxfords have menswear-inspired roots, so drive the mood home with borrowed-from-the-boys attire. If you're fully ready to commit to the look, piece together a grayscale outfit in slouchy silhouettes for tomboy cool. For a more feminine approach, seek out a tuxedo dress in a sweet hue, like pastel pink.

The key to mastering this look is to make sure you show just the right amount of leg—revealing some ankle will ensure you won't look dowdy. Bonus: this look is also the perfect day-to-night outfit.

Drape a leather moto jacket effortlessly over your shoulders for a cool vibe. Complete the look with a lot of leg and statement accessories, like a printed bag and a chunky watch.

Oxfords are made much more interesting when worn with a novelty sock. We love a pair with a special detail, like a bow or sheer accent, but a black pair scrunched at the ankles is a minimal approach that's just as chic.

Fishnets are a great legwear option that, when styled correctly, can look modern and daytime appropriate. Wear your Oxfords with these tights and a miniskirt for a surprisingly chic ensemble.
