How and with what to wear classic shoes that migrated from men's to women's wardrobe in order to look not only modern and stylish, but also feminine?
Loafers, oxfords, chelsea and so on - shoe models that migrated to our wardrobe from men’s look fine on elegant female legs, plus - they fit well into a modern wardrobe. In addition, “men's” shoes are quite comfortable, because they don’t have unstable high heels, and the shoe is usually comfortable. At the same time, the classic models of this shoe, even made specifically for women, are often quite strict. Here are a few tricks that allow you to wear "male" models of shoes, emphasizing their femininity.

Wear skirts, best feminine

For those who love and wear a mini, it is probably no secret that men's-style shoes worn with a short skirt immediately lose their brutality or formality, and such a kit looks directly and freshly. But it is precisely midi or maxi skirts with loafers or oxfords that are a win-win option for almost any age and body type. And if with a straight skirt or pencil skirt, “men's” shoes will still look pretty strict, then with a pleated skirt, assembly or A-line, it will only emphasize your femininity.

... or - dresses!

Playing in contrast with this combination works better than ever. The austerity and conciseness of the lines of shoes in the men's style will add charm to your image and dress - whether this dress is simple and restrained or relaxed and romantic. One "but": with frankly sexy, elegant, evening dresses, this trick does not work. The best option for combining dresses with "men's" shoes is an image for every day, for example, in casual style.

Pants: focus on the ankles

If you choose trousers in a set for men's shoes, pay attention to the fact that the ankle should be emphasized. Whether it is tight jeans, classic 7/8 long pipes or wide enough trousers - the emphasis on the grace of the ankle of the legs shod in the "male" model will emphasize femininity and balance the image. In the case of Chelsea shoes (in the third photo), which rises to the ankle or can close it, it is also possible with tight-fitting trousers or jeans that emphasize the ankle due to its cut. But still, in the case of Chelsea, too long trousers (both narrow and wide) are better not to wear.

Choose shoes of interesting colors

Even the most “secular” and “official” shoes from the men's wardrobe - for example, oxford shoes - look completely different if they are made not in classic (black, brown), but in unusual colors. With female models, manufacturers experiment much more often and more variably than with male models. You can choose frankly bright, eye-catching colors, or emphasized romantic and delicate. If the shoes should fit into the dress code, you can find the same oxfords in calm colors, but with an interesting combination of them.

Another way to reduce the severity of men's shoe models is to pay attention to the shape of the shoes. The emphasized graceful nose or unusual sole makes the classic "men's" shoes for women more interesting and feminine.
