Over-the-Top Oxfords to Step Your Style Up

The best things in life are bold. Everything from coffee to even your shoe choice is better that way, because why be boring when you don’t have to be? When it comes to footwear, run-of-the-mill oxford shoes typically seen at an office are snooze-worthy, but you can pick a pair that’s quite the opposite.

Whether you’re a button-down-and-trousers working stiff or not, you deserve shoes that stand out. Find oxfords that speak to your personal style, and just like a rich cup of joe, give you a boost.

Ready for Lift Off

As much as we love high heels, we don’t love the pain that wearing them comes with. Stop suffering in your stilettos—trade them in for an equally stylish pair of platform oxfords. Take your look to new lengths with this shoe finished with a sole that’s a few inches thicker than the typical pair. Mixed media soles, crafted from jute, wood or cork for example, help you step your style up even more.

A Cut Above the Rest

It doesn’t get much stuffier than oxfords. A lace-up leather shoe, they can be pretty unimaginative and uninspiring. The use of laser-cut detailing takes a twist on the traditional footwear, however. Perforated pairs or ones that makes use of negative space add a visually interesting element to any outfit, especially your typical blouse-and-skirt work combo.

Hue to Life

Basic brown and black pumps rule the wardrobes of women everywhere. As essential as they are, these wardrobe staples can be quite boring. It’s time to bring your closet back to life—an oxford in an electrifying color will do just the trick. Not only will a shoe in an exciting hue force you to push the envelope on your outfit ideas, it will make a strong style statement.

Although oxfords used to err on the side of conservative, these pairs are anything but. Lace up and take your look to the next level.

These oxfords are anything but ordinary.
