Trend Alert: Oxfords are Making a Comeback!
………Whitney Port Kate Bosworth Emma Watson
Oxfords have been around forever, ever since the iconic black and white variety made a splash in the 50′s. Today, a more streamlined and modern version of those classic style oxfords are making a comeback in a huge way, and are fast becoming the go-to casual shoe for celebrities. Shown here are starlets Whitney Port, Kate Bosworth, and Emma Watson, all looking fabulously casual-chic.
By its most basic definition, an oxford is just a men’s styled leather shoe that closes with laces. However, common embellishments on this classic style include perforations, cap toes, and two-tones. They are incredibly comfortable (especially if you spring for quality leather) and more supportive than ballet flats, but just as versatile! They can be worn with jeans, skinny jeans (like Whitney and Kate), cropped pants, and shorts. Or, you can style yourself like Emma and give a casual feel to your favorite feminine skirt or dress by counter-balancing it with these masculine-styled flats!
For their comfort, style, and versatility, we hope that oxfords stick around for a long time to come. Interested in added them to your wardrobe?

Brands like Steve Madden and Bronx know how to keep it trendy, while Bass, the classic since 1876, definitely knows how to craft a well-made, comfortable oxford.
