When you hear "Brogues" you think of boys and masculinity.

Well... they aren't just for boys. Girls can rock those classy brogues too! They are the alternatives for flats or ballerina flats. You can wear them anytime. It doesn't have to be a formal event. You could wear them to the mall, to class, when you're out having brunch with your girlfriends or even to the office. Brogues are the way to go. In the picture above, I am wearing my brown crocodile skin brogues from Bally. I paired them with a simple look- blue jeans and a black sweater. Though my whole outfit was plain, my shoes gave me a whole new vamped up look!

Brogues are really easy to wear and pair. You can pair it up with almost everything. Since they are so masculine looking, you would probably want to try and tone down that masculinity a little. This can be done by showing a little bit of skin in the areas of the ankles to counterbalance the closed areas of the shoes.

Ya .... them boys like them lady ankles

Pair them with a short skirt, shorts or a dress. Any of those would do. This could be a winter look, spring look or even summer look. For a winter look you can pair them up with ankle grazing jeans which you can find in Topshop or any kind of short skirt. As for a summer look you can simply pair the brogues up with shorts and a shirt, cropped pants, and even a short summer dress. You can make the whole look look boyish or girly. Either way, embrace the shoes and rock it!
