The oxford shoes is the classic type of shoes that are low cut, made of leather, and has the iconic lace up design. It is the type of iconic items that you don’t really have a clear definition of yet you know what it is called exactly when you see it. These days, they are wore almost as a toned-down version of ankle boots. They add a little bit toughness to your outfit yet they don’t look as winter-like as the ankle boots. Now, let me share with you some of my favorite oxford shoes outfit ideas.
Grey Button Up Shirt with Silver Oxford Shoes
I am starting off the list with a more rare color. Don’t worry, I will get back to the classic brown or black oxford shoes very soon. For this outfit, simply wear a grey button up shirt and cuffed jeans with the shiny silver oxford shoes. This outfit would have looked super boring without the silver oxford shoes.
Wear with Black Sweater & Ripped Jeans
As another comfortable looking business casual outfit, you can simply wear a black sweater with ripped jeans. Pair them with beige oxford shoes.
Wear with White Shirt & Black Blazer
In other blog posts, I have mentioned how ankle boots are so versatile that putting them together with your formal outfits will almost always work. You can speak the same of the oxford shoes. For example, this outfit is just a typical formal work outfit with the white shirt, the black blazer and the black dress pants. You can look taller and heavier, in terms of the mood, with the ankle boots and more down to earth wearing the oxford boots. It is also a good idea for those that like the rough, dark feel of leather shoes but that their partners are shorter than them.
Black Long Wool Coat & Brown Oxford Shoes
For a non-clunky winter look, you can wear brown oxford shoes with a grey sweater and a long black wool boat.
Off The Shoulder Sweater Dress
So far, I have shared with you quite a few of oxford shoes outfit ideas, it is probably a good time to address a small detail or trick that make those outfits look so great. I will give you a hint. It’s about the socks. Do you see it? The trick is that oxford shoes are usually wore with no-show socks. Don’t get me wrong. They look good with ankle socks too. But they usually look the best with no-show socks because such socks make the legs look longer. Back to this idea, the outfit simply consists of the sweater dress and the oxford shoes. You can see that no socks are shown, and more portion of the legs are shown, making them visually longer.
Brown Oxford Shoes with Black Denim Shorts
As an artistic and creative way to dress to work casually, try wear a white button up shirt with a black blazer and black denim shorts. Wear dark brown oxford shoes with ankle socks.
Wear with White Knit Sweater

You can simple wear a long sleeve white tee inside the sweater. Wear ripped cropped jeans with brown oxford shoes. This can a be good outfit for casual hangouts.
