Thankfully jeans and oxfords are one of the best matches you can think of. Boyfriend jeans will give you a laid-back look, skinny will look trendy and accentuate your beautiful legs. Also in cold season oxfords go well with almost any type of jackets and coats except for probably fur and down coats which look either too posh or too sporty.
Baggy sweaters printed T-shirts, and loose cotton shirts are our favorite though. Light brown oxford shoes and knitted cardigan with a brown bag. Otherwise, these two are indistinguishable and the names are often, incorrectly used interchangeably. These are also the apex of formality.
Moving far more into casual territory, these bridge the gap between semi-formal and casual. They are marked by broguing — decorative perforations — that run across the top of the shoe. Any such decoration makes a brogue, while wingtips specifically have swooping broguing that runs from the toe out to the side of the shoe.
Two-tone shoes that have a separate strip of leather that runs from the inside to the outside across the laces, can have a spats-like appearance due to the dual coloration.
Most commonly associated with young women in poodle skirts during the s, shoes of this kind are rarely seen in a business environment, making them ideal for more casual wear.

Other Features of an Oxford Though the lacing defines the shoe style , there are a few other attributes that can help you identify a true Oxford shoe. Any shoe that has a sleeker set of lines doesn't look right with jeans to me. Same as the difference between a blazer and a suit jacket.
It is just easier to say "closed laces are for slacks". Kind of like it is easier to say "dont wear navy with black" than it is to explain the nuances of shades of blue and black. Btu if you like it do it. Your pic is doing better than the vast majority of the general populace. Its like when I talk about the difference in a running seconds hand vs the seconds subdial on a chronograph watch. Most people are like "WTF dude? It just looks cool, man".

That's what I normally do. Jeff P. Personally, I'm just not a fan of the dress shoes and jeans look. Just not my thing. Apply market research to generate audience insights.

A great neutral blazer, a pair of black boots, and some lived-in denim usually top the list.
In fact, they've long been attached to preppy, collegiate looks thanks to their menswear roots. But most oxfords, which are usually marked by a loafer silhouette and a closed lace-up feature, can be as versatile as they are classic. The key is to find the right outfit to wear with them. Ironically enough, the most modern way to wear them these days is to revisit the '90s.
