Right this second...

As we are officially in the spring season, I should be getting into color but instead I'm so into these neutral combinations. And I really want a pair of white oxfords! I think they would go well with everything I have, and would be a great staple for spring and summer.

What do you think? Are white oxfords a trend or a closet essential?

    I am wary of white shoes, but that's because Delhi is very dusty (desert winds). That said the outfit on the right is very chic. Love monochrome.

      If you do get a pair, I think patent or pebbled leather would be easier to clean than smooth leather.

      Ammu: thanks for the tips - I will keep them in mind. Also, it is good to remember that white gets dirty easily. I'm considering nude or black as well, as they may hide the dirt better.

    As you can tell from my blog posts, my Zara white oxfords are my staple when it comes to flat shoes. They are getting dirty and my mom wants to throw them away but I think they add a sort of casual elegance to the look over dark leather oxfords which can look more preppy. White oxfords almost look like plimsolls.

    ps. I think they look good slightly scuffed up for a worn-in look.

      Sam: Yes! One of my inspirations for wanting white oxfords is how you style them so well, and I've seen on your blog how they go so well with everything. Haha, funny that your mom wants to get rid of them. They do create a very different feel than darker oxfords - love it.

      Liza, it's 74 here right now. This weather is amazing! I'm taking full advantage and planning a date night with hubby in downtown for tonight - dinner and a movie. Excited!

    These are all nice looks that would look great on you.

    I stay away from white shoes. In theory they can look good, but regardless of where you live they get dirty so quickly. I buy really great quality shoes, but expect them to last for years. A lighter nude seems like a good alternative.

    I lik the middle outfit the most. Some grey skinny jeans are going on 'the list'.....

    Oxfords are definitely a wardrobe essential, but I'm not sure about the colour white. Although if I were to wear a pair of white shoes, I would certainly go for white oxfords. :)

    I really like white oxfords, but since I spend most of my off time with my kids, they'd get dirty in a second. Love the look though.

    Love white oxfords. But I worry white would draw too much attention to my big feet!
