these shoes look awesome in sahdes of brown and black! it depends on the design as modern designs of flat oxfords that still screams VINTAGE look wonderful! trust me these shoes are unisex but it depends how you wear it! the brown ones look so good with skinnies and highwaisted skirts shorts and so on and suite shades of greys and blues and black! the black ones look good with wintery colours and clothing with black stockings! i would say its a retro/ indie/vintage/ artsy look you are going for with these shoes, otherwise it will be VERY difficult to pull off.

I have a pair of silver-y black oxfords (might be the ones in the lower left of the pic) and I love them. I wear them about 3 days per week and find them very versatile. I wear them with wide leg jeans/pants as well as skinny jeans. To make them look good with the skinnies I fold up the ends about 3 inches or so then either go barefoot with the oxfords or use cute socks. They are also great with black opaque tights and skirts and dresses.

In college I had a pair of B&W Doc Marten brogues I wore EVERYWHERE — they made every outfit just pop a little bit. I really like these, but would probably look for a color…the black and white “splashy” ones are pretty cute.

I have a black pair that I really like with tights and a skirt that stops just above the knee – its a cute casual look.

i love these, and have been looking for an affordable pair in real leather.

Oxfords were one of the very few shoe styles that were allowed in my high school dress code, so these are always going to scream “school!” at me. I had a black pair almost exactly like the ones on the top left and wore them to school almost every day with pants and skirts. My long feet looked even longer with them on and I hated them. So I don’t think I will be adopting this trend. I agree with previous posters that they do look masculine. If I could find one with a higher heel I might consider it.

These are very cute – and look comfy and warm – but I think I prefer the look with a stacked heel instead.

However, i would *love* to find a cold-weater, flat-shoe alternative to boots, that enables wearing of warm socks, which ballet flats don’t. Something nicer than converses, and that doesn’t make my feet look huge if worn with straight leg jeans.

My feet are only size 6, but converses still look too big when worn with straight legs!

I had a pair of shoes similar to the Joan & David’s about a decade ago. I wore them with a short gray flannel skirt, tights and a simple v-neck sweaters on days when I had to walk a lot.

I loved them! I am not sure if I could pull it off now, but I would try them with a short skirt and tights or flannel trousers and a girly top.

I’ve always loved this look. Particularly the “Beauchamp” shoe you have featured. A nice alternative for those of us who love stylish shoes but can’t wear the whole palette. Only the shoe aficionados at the office need know. I’ll wear them with a nice pair of pinstriped slacks with a slightly flared leg, white or teal buttondown, and a cashmere sweater. Thanks.

ooooo, Maya. Those are fabulous. They look a lot like a golfing shoe, but gorgeous all the same. Flat oxfords look so much prettier in cream. I love, LOVE cream shoes.

Debbie, you’ll have to experiment with the look you’ve suggested. Sounds great on paper. I’m charging you with the challenge. Inspire us!

Tanya, your description made me chuckle. You couldn’t look “stumpy” if you tried!
