How Do I Style...? Brogues

Brogues are the ultimate in chic at the moment! Right now, there are so many of them in all of the glossy magazines that I had to invest in a pair. I had been turned onto Penney's for a pair of silver beauties, but when it came to the crunch, I opted for black. Just a head-up, there are black, silver, peach and beige on offer in Penney's, and for €13 a pop, I urge you to invest in at least one pair! 

In the past, when I saw brogues on other people, I always thought that they looks harsh and uncomfortable, but oh how wrong I was!! They are the epitome of comfort while still looking classic and chic. 

But how do you style them? Well, that is up to you but I like to team my very menswear inspired brogues with a quite floaty, feminine dress. The juxtaposition of the two finishes really pulls an outfit together. 

For example, if you have black, almost suede-like brogues like I do, you can style them a multitude of ways! Here are two examples...

Girly, Grungy, Feminine and Masculine!

You could opt for a feminine chiffon dress and a chunky knit cardigan, finished with a structured bag of your choice! Since most brogues come in tan or black, you can really express yourself through the dress you wear with 'em! 

A twist on the classic "Office" look

Similarly, you could rock a pair of boyfriend jeans, rolled up at the ankle, a light colored shirt and a well-fitted blazer for a twist on the classic office look! Since most offices are neutral-only zones, you can add a pop of color on the lips, but don't go too mad! 


Brogues are the ultimate in dressy yet casual, so don't be afraid to experiment!
