Hot Fashion Tips

So-called Oxford boots which became in inter-season period quite successful alternative to top-boots, can be considered an interesting novelty of the current season.

Modern technologies, rapid development of the society, change of guiding lines have led to numerous mutations of Oxford boots which after all came in woman’s fashion - together with trousers. In the beginning they simply copied men’s models - on a flat sole, with a man’s silhouette, with short lacing with 2-4 holes, with round or square toe.

Then forms became more and more graceful, and a heel - more and more high. Now they were offered to be worn not only with trousers, they were good with thin raincoats in man’s style, and with secretarial skirts-pencils.

Classical “gangster” boots with a combination of black and white (and also matte leather with varnished) can be seen this autumn at Alberta Ferretti, Bally, Eva Turner, Le Silla. It is, as a rule, high enough stiletto heel from a black leather, black toe with perforation, black lacing, and other details - from a white or light-cream leather.

However designers’ imagination is not limited today only to known models. For example, the leather can be combined with tweed or other textile materials (Etro, Stuart Weitzman). The Fashion House Miu Miu has presented very romantic retro-silhouette with a steady heel, rounded toe and soft flounces from perforated leather. And Dries Van Noten and Marni have put their “Oxfords” on platform soles.
