Where the Boys Are – Women’s Lace-up Brogues

For a couple of weeks now I’ve seen a few women here and there wearing what appears to be their boyfriends’ shoes.  So I looked it up on Google, and sure enough, it’s a real thing, an actual trend for fall and winter.  It makes sense in context, I guess – with all the gender-bending fashion we’re seeing now and in the coming season, shoes were bound to follow at some point.

Personally, I like my shoes comfortable, so this is a welcome change of direction as far as I’m concerned.  Of course, you don’t have to raid a man’s closet in order to get the look; lots of designers are doing shoes for women that are inspired by styles that have traditionally belonged to men.  Check out these Christian Louboutin “Fred” Patent Leather Lace Up Jazz Shoes, cute as a button. Imagine pairing these up with a your favorite Current Elliott boyfriend jeans. Could be very, very cute if played the right way.
