Try These On For Size - TUXXEDO Oxfords by Steve Madden

By Natalie Naccarato

The incredibly chic Oxford Shoe is now available on www.LUXaholic.ca !

Oxfords, also known as Jazz Shoes first made a big splash on the fashion scene last summer, and the ever so popular shoe has proven it has staying power.
Brit fashion favourite Sienna Miller, and The City's Olivia Palermo have both been recently photographed rocking the chic footwear:























Steve Madden makes our favourite version of the shoe, the TUXXEDO, now available on www.LUXaholic.ca and seen on Country Music's current Princess, Taylor Swift:



















Taylor effortlessly rocks her TUXXEDO's pairing them with patterned tights and a tunic dress. Some ladies find it tricky to pull off an Oxford shoe, but it's actually quite an easy feat. The benefit of Oxford's is that they can be styled in unlimited ways. A good rule of thumb is to treat the shoe like an updated ballet flat. You'd wear your ballet flats with tights, straight leg denim, skirts and dresses, and you can do the same with Oxford's for a more current look. The options are endless and LUXaholic has plenty of skirts, dresses, and tops to pair with this cute new addition to your shoe collection!

  1. Interesting. I thought this shoe was difficult to wear, but after you put it as treat it as an updated ballet flat, it's extremly helpful! Not sure about it just yet, want to think about it, but this post certainly increased it's odds into coming into my closet :)

  2. Hi Emily, thank you for your comment. Oxfords do not have to be a scary addition to your closet. Some people are uncomfortable with how masculine they think the shoe is, however the ones currently on the market are much more feminine than a typical men's shoe. They are sleeker and cut lower on the ankle. If you're feeling brave give them a try and let us know how it goes!
