Oxfords are very on-trend right now, perfect for pairing with cuffed shorts or skinny jeans, and even feminine frocks. This pair in particular makes an interesting twist on the obvious menswear inspiration, with a comfortable cinched heel and clever eyelet cutouts across the almond-shaped toes. Be warned, sweetie, that these shoes run a little small… so order a half-size up.
