Oxford Pumps

Oxford pumps can be thought of as the lace-up alternative to pumps. Oxfords alone are lace-up shoes with their own style. Pumps are purely feminine with heels ranging from flat to high heels. Combine the two, and you get oxford pumps. What makes them so stylish? While I don't really like lace-up women's shoes all that much, oxford pumps are something a bit different from your average slip-on pumps. They exude a level of femininity while offering a very chic touch. So often, you look around on fashion blogs and stuff like Lookbook and see females wearing oxford pumps with tights or tall socks. Oxford pumps can also work for those looking for menswear-inspired fashion. This blog entry will feature oxford pumps. Also, if you want to shop for some oxford pumps, I'll show a few you can find on Amazon that I like (and that you probably will too).





--- Oxford Pumps in Pictures ---
Let's set the mood with some pictures. This will give you some pictoral insight on oxford pumps.

Now you've seen oxford pumps in pictures. I've actually tried to find some females wearing oxford pumps, but there weren't too many good ones I wanted to feature here.



--- What Do Oxford Pumps Go Well With? ---
Ladies from fashion blogs usually wear these with short skirts/dresses along with tights or socks. For many, it's something different to wear from tradtional pumps or sandals. I usually prefer slip-on pumps than any lace-up pumps, but there are a number of different outfits to go with them. I mentioned pairing these with slacks. This is another case where you could wear these lace-up pumps rather than slip-on pumps. I've even seen these worn with shorts or rompers/playsuits.

There are many options if you love oxford pumps and want to find various outfits to wear them with. Since oxford pumps are chic to me, I'd avoid wearing anything extremely casual. So don't wear your T-shirt of some rock band and skinny jeans to wear with oxford pumps. Most of the ones that really shine with oxford pumps are the really fashion-conscious ladies.


As I said earlier, I'm not really crazy about oxford pumps, but I know there are lots of you femmes out there who do. So I'm going to try to show you some oxford pumps that you may like.

People, when I do my searches on Amazon, there are sometimes items I don't even see how they get into a certain category. I clearly type "oxford pumps," and the search engine assumes "oxfords AND pumps," rather than "oxford pumps." There's a difference. I may include more oxford pumps if I see any more worth mentioning. The widget below features more oxford puumps you might love.



^ WARNING: widget may feature items that AREN'T oxford pumps!
