Okay, they look nice on Emma, but these would look SO MUCH better on me, BECAUSE I’M A DUDE, & THEY’RE VERY DUDE LOOKING SHOES. I could get away with them at Senior & Junior prom, & Winter formal this year. hehehe, & no one will ever know that they are women shoes, because they don’t look like women shoes. (ex. pumps, stilettos, etc.), besides I like Christian Louboutin anyways. So it’s perfect for me!!! HAHAHA.

They look dumb. besides Agy, only sienna looks okay with them. The shoes alone are fine, but not the whole outfit. In the past people may have worn saddle oxford with skirts/dresses, but modernixed, it looks dumb. (plus I hate saddle shoes). I think oxfords/brogues look best with pants/jeans.

also I’ve been wearing sintip specs for a while now and I hate the fact that this is becoming a trend. Everyone never would’ve attempted them before, but now they are, and when the trend wears out, the people who used to wear them first will look dumb. Things like this make me hate fashion.

Its about time women get to wear these, men have always worn them. I will not be wearing mine with anything girly.

Mmm, they have been around a while but they took a while to gain widespread celebrity favour. Though I think Alexa Chung did them first, to give her her dues, she’s been loping around in Church’s forever.

can’t believe all the brogue bashing. I’m pretty sure they’re not a ‘new’ trend, if you look at any streetstyle blog they’ve been around for years. and I love wearing them, with the right outfit

I’m with you, Fashion Critic, I’d wear brogues if I were a boy for a day. But not while girl-shaped, even if I were tall as Agyness. Sienna really loves her grey Kain vest! What am I saying, she probably has boxes of them sent to her.

Yeah it’s funny, when we have so many cute pairs of heels that celebrity resort to wearing those tomboy/ugly shoes.

I love them and I’m a UK7! Looks great when I’m trying to do an androgynous 60’s mod or 80’s prep look. Plus SO comfy and makes me feel just that little bit set apart from the ballet/t-bar/mary jane flat masses.

Seems like brouges have been around forever, and I’ve had a pair since early this year….but then I do live in East London (Brick Lane) where everyone has been wearing pretty much everything -past and future seasons,colours, new and vintage at the same time. And usually in one outfit.

Oh, well… This day had to come: I just saw the first pair of Louboutin’s I really DON’T like… And £380?! Even Dorothy from Oz would say: ‘NO, THANKS.’ to all this glitter.
Please, FC, if brogues become trend, don’t show the pictures of those ladies from the ankles down.

I love cute flats, but tjhese are hideous. The only one who looks cute in them is Emma and, if I remember correctly, she had just gotten off a plane so she was allowed to be super comfy. Otherwise, let’s leave these to Charlie Chaplin.
