We're So Into This Shoe Trend With Jeans
Sure, heels and boots are staples in every wardrobe, but flats are perhaps one of the most comfortable styles to throw on. Strappy sandals and ballet flats are go-to styles for any weekend wardrobe that involves jeans, but if you’re looking for something that’s more dressed up, you might want to try Oxford shoes. They’re a great alternative to some of the more typical shoes you probably have on repeat.
There are many classic styles simply designed in black leather. But right now, there are also more fashion-forward ones. Think everything from patent leather to raffia versions to platform Oxfords dreamed up by Prada. They’re a natural pairing with denim, and cool fashion girls like Olivia Palermo have made them regular pieces in their outfits. Right now Oxfords are popping up everywhere on our Instagram feeds—especially those platform versions. Shop our favorite styles.
