8 stylish shoes that will always be in trend

1. Oxfords

A versatile model that will look appropriate in the office, on a walk, at a business or informal meeting - in a word, in any situation. Oxfords rhyme well with business suits, casual looks, and even go well with dresses. Only not in the evening, of course.

The main distinguishing features are a thin sole, a low heel and a closed lacing. There are no trendy decorative elements in the design of Oxfords. And it is because of this that they can be worn for several seasons in a row, until the shoes become unusable. However, if you choose a high-quality pair made from natural materials, then this will not happen soon.

2. Derby

Derby shoes look like Oxfords at first glance. But if you look closely, the difference will immediately become apparent. Unlike the previous model, they feature open lacing, and the sidewalls are sewn over the front of the boot. Because of this design, the sides of the shoes separate freely if the laces are loosened. This allows you to adjust the fit and match the derby to any leg fullness.

In terms of socks, they are quite simple: they are combined with denim or wool clothes, complete a strict look and set off playful bright outfits with their restraint. There are practically no restrictions. Unless they also do not go well with evening dresses.

3. Brogues

Many people consider brogues to be another type of classic shoe, but this is not entirely true. The name comes from the word "brogue" - the application of perforations, small decorative holes, on the toe, front, back or the entire surface.

Decorations, albeit so laconic, reduce the degree of seriousness. Therefore, they are unlikely to fit a business suit. But everything else is easy. Once again, a pair of shoes won't go out of style next season: the classics are immortal.

4. Monkey

You will recognize the monks as soon as you see the buckles (one, two or three) on the boots. But you won't find lacing, no matter how hard you try. The solid appearance of the shoe obliges you to choose your clothes carefully. It is recommended to wear monks with trousers or dark jeans that barely touch the buckles.

Coats, fine-knit sweaters and pastel-colored cardigans also make a great addition to this shoe. The image will turn out to be harmonious, stylish and suitable for all times, regardless of what is now at the peak of popularity.

5. Loafers

Shoes without laces, but with various decorative elements on the front: tassels, fringes, straps. There are even models with neat bows - Belgian loafers.

Despite the seeming severity, the decor makes the shoes less formal. And this gives a lot of opportunities to create a variety of combinations. Whether it's dress pants, boyfriend jeans, linen chinos or even skirts, there is a perfect pair of loafers for every look.

6. Chelsea

The shoe has a wide ankle boot. There are no fasteners or laces, elastic bands are sewn on the sides, which makes it easy to take off and put on Chelsea in a second.

These boots can be found most often on the streets of the city. Moreover, they are worn by business men and women, students, hipsters and teenagers. We can say that this is the most informal classic model, which will not be so easy to part with even a couple of years after the purchase.

7. Chukka

Another shoe, but with a more high-profile appearance. The cuff also reaches the ankle and has open lacing. Sometimes they can be decorated with perforations, but this is not a prerequisite.

Traditional Chukkas are made from a single piece of leather or suede without lining. But now this rule is followed less and less and the shoes are insulated inside. Therefore, the Chukka is an excellent shoe for the off-season and bad weather. Also, before they were only male, but over time, this has changed. Now you can find suitable options for girls.

8. Boats

Pumps are the oldest model listed above. Deep neckline and flowing, slightly rounded toe. The heel can be anything: a high stiletto heel, which is most often associated with boats, and a low glass. Or its complete absence is optional. The main thing is that the foot slips into the shoe without effort.

Despite their long history, pumps are still considered the epitome of femininity. However, this does not mean that they can only be worn with evening dresses. Nowadays, they rhyme with dresses and skirts, as well as jeans, jackets, oversized clothing and other wardrobe items.
