How to style Oxfords 

The laid back vibe in oversized pieces is definitely having a moment in the fashion world right now, but I’m thinking, why stop at clothes? Let’s take it a step further with shoes.

For me It just made sense to design Oxfords. They check every box: versatile, simple, and timeless but I also love their edge. It’s the kind of look that feels on trend and timeless all at once.

But if you’re hesitant to make the move here are a few ways I’d style Oxfords.

Office outfits

Oxfords are easily office-approved thanks to their closed-toe design and all-day comfort. The flexible sole, lightly padded insole, and natural movement support make them a great option for wearing all day long.

They also bring that polished, professional look with their simple design and the high quality leather. For the office I’d opt for a neutral like black, white or caramel with a light pair of trousers or skirt and a button-up blouse.

One of my favorite features of the Oxfords is how flexible and easy they are to slip on. You can easily keep a pair at your desk or in your car to slip on when you get to work. 

Going out for drinks Outfit

Oxfords are super easy to style for the office, but throw on a pair of colorful socks and you’ve instantly got a fun, edgy look for going out. I love mixing edgy and feminine pieces — pairing Oxfords with a sundress is such an effortless combo and looks amazing.

I’m also a sucker for a monochromatic look. Black Oxfords with an all black outfit feels fresh and unique, and it’s so easy to dress up with some gold jewelry.

As much as I love neutrals, I also love playing with color — think red Oxfords with a black skirt and a tucked-in white or black tee. It’s a simple outfit that still makes a statement, that also perfectly balances feminine and masculine looks for that cool-girl chic vibe.

The subtle dip detail on the Oxfords enhances the natural shape of your foot for a super flattering look. And I’ll keep saying it — the breathability is unmatched. You can wear them all day and into the night without ever getting that hot, sweaty feeling.

From drinks to mimosa brunch 

Oxfords are incredibly versatile—you really only need one good pair. You can wear them from drinks at night to brunch the next morning 🍸Obviously you only need on pair but a few pairs with different colors won’t hurt anyone, they are actually sustainable so they won’t even hurt the earth. 😉

One easy way to style them is by leaning into that effortless edgy trend: think baggy jeans, a tucked-in graphic tee, and your go-to oxfords. Add some sunnies, your favorite jewelry, and you’ve got a look that’s casual and chic.

An easy way to add something different to your Oxfords is by adding different colored laces, it is such an easy way to dress up your Oxfords and add a feminine touch.

Style them down for errands

I absolutely love the lace detailing—it’s such an easy feature to dress down for a casual look. Thanks to the simplicity of the design, they’re super easy to style.

Pair them with linen pants and a fitted basic, or throw them on with jeans and your favorite tee. I love the look of our Caramel oxfords with jeans, the colors work so well together and they are still neutral with a bit more spice. 

Sometimes you just need to hit the store or run a few errands. Your oxfords are perfect for those moments—easy to slip on, super supportive, and comfy.

Plus, they make it look like you put in effort… even if all you did was throw on your go-to basics 😉

A Few More of My Favorite Versatile Shoes

If you’re loving the flexibility of Oxfords, here are a few more shoes that work beautifully for multiple occasions — from daily errands to spontaneous nights out.

Womads Peep Toes – These have all the same comfort and luxe design features as the Oxfords, just in an open-toe silhouette.

Breathable and lightweight enough for the beach, flexible enough for a night of dancing, and just as easy to slip on and off. Perfect for packing, too. Available in a gorgeous range of colors that add a little pop to any outfit.

Loafers – Sleek and structured, loafers are a no-brainer for casual or business-casual looks.

They add polish without sacrificing comfort, and they pair just as well with trousers as they do with denim.

White Sneakers – A wardrobe essential. Clean, minimal, and endlessly versatile.

Style them with dresses for that cool girl chic, jeans for a classic look,  a suit for that relaxed-chic vibe or with a romper for a sporty look. 

Put your best foot forward
