Trend Report

Men-inspired shoes

From lace-up oxfords to classic leather slip-ons, men-inspired shoes are – for better or for worse – the current trend in footwear.

While it’s easy to take the Fred Astaire or Michael Jackson route with these unconventional shoes, the less obvi way to style loafers like these incredible studded Louboutin slip-ons is to contrast them with super feminine clothing: a big, flirty skirt with a not-so-basic tank tucked in (à la Olivia Palermo) is one way, but feel free to experiment with the ensemble until you’ve found a winning look. No matter how you style these out-of-the-ordinary shoes, however, make sure you get your dancing mood on too!

Christian Louboutin rollerball loafers, $995, ship internationally from Saks.
