The Brogue… When Flat Feet Are Fabulous

When flat feet are fabulous… I am taking about the brogue.

Sometimes a fashion season is on our side.

This autumn/winter is one of them.


The flat is back with a big flourish and in particular the man style oxford or brogue.

Buckles, laces or tassels… it doesn’t matter… the brogue is masculine and more importantly comfortable.


French women have often favoured a brogue… with a tailored suit, with their jeans or with a skirt and oversized sweater.

A great look for work or play.

Mine are going to walk the pavements this season.


So far we are winning with the winter whites, the sneakers, the turtleneck and our brogues… so much style to play with.

Identifying the key pieces for a new season and incorporating them in a way that suits is what fashion is all about… and what I love to do.
