Leave the shoulder pads and stilettos at home. The new power-suit is relaxed and pairs best with flats
Perhaps both the oxford and the pantsuit were originally designed with the gents in mind, but thanks to legendary style icons like Marlene Dietrich and Coco Chanel, they’ve long since become style staples in women’s wear too. That said, if pantsuits once required pumps to have sex appeal the way oxfords, likewise, once required a miniskirt to seem feminine, the old-school notion of the “sexy tomboy” has fortunately expired. The new face of androgyny in fashion has a more sophisticated grasp of gender fluidity and understands that unisex fashion isn’t necessarily devoid of sex appeal. In fact, there’s nothing quite as sexy as oxfords paired with a pantsuit, whether you’re Tilda Swinton or David Bowie.
With fall just around the corner, there’s no need to sacrifice cutting-edge style for practical wardrobe investment pieces. Start with a pantsuit in a four-season hue like royal blue and lighten the look by leaving the jacket unbuttoned and donning a ribbed white turtleneck underneath. Opt for a casual chic and breathable pant-leg that’s cropped and cuffed well above the ankle—drawing attention to your patent silver oxfords. Whether you’re hitting the boardroom, the boardwalk, or band practice, go sockless to keep the focus on your feet, and top off the look by donning a black backpack with gold zipper details in lieu of a purse.
