Dear veebee,

I have to assume you’re a girl so I can answer this correctly…

Brogues (pronounced as browgs) are classic low-heeled shoes that usually have decorative perforations or holes on its leather surface. You’re right, brogues are really in trend now, and if you’re a flats person who’s allergic to girly shoes, brogues can be your friendly pair that can replace your sneakers. The key is to counterbalance the boyish feel of brogues. Aside from the shorts and t-shirt outfit, you can wear brogues with other styles like the following:

Jersey Dress
Particularly minimal styled jerseys, plain colored or printed mini dresses are good with brogues. Remember that not all dresses look good with these classic shoes so you have to be careful when choosing the right dress.

Playsuits
Playsuits are just the ‘more stylish’ version of shorts + tank top. Perfect fashion for this summer or if you simply want to go out for a weekend date with friends.

Cigarette Pants
Wear cropped or cigarette pants for your bottom to show off those brogues.

And here are some Hollywood celebrities’ lookbook for fashion inspiration:

Hope that helps!

Love Lots,

Leyn
