The 3 Different Ways of Wearing Oxford Pumps

It’s the Retro 70s fashionable and professional footwear that has its origins from the masculine-inspired trend. Yet, it’s sexy and stylish and puts a sultry spin to an ensemble that not even the most buttoned-down corporate gal can escape. Yes, I’m taking about Oxford pumps that may look tough and orderly, but are actually versatile enough to dress up even the most casual of looks. If you’re quite not sure how to style up a pair of oxford pumps, then here are some tips on how you can do just that:

1. Pair oxford pumps with skirts. Choose knee-length skirts or shorter for a look that’s cute and not dowdy. The idea is to give off that sexy orderly style, and longer skirts tend to destroy that image.

2. A popular style is to wear oxford pumps with tights, stockings and socks. These add-ons provide that posh preppy look that’s always fresh and fabulous.

3. Wear your oxfords with a mini dress and a pair of knee or thigh highs to channel that Retro 70s style. It’s not only a fabulous retro look, but it’ll also keep you feeling warm and comfy. You may switch from tights to knit leggings or woolen socks during cold season. You’ll end up looking sleek and every inch like a true Brit girl.
