7 shoe styles to borrow from the boys

It's time to take back the streets and while you're at it, borrow a trend of two from the boys. Stow away those six-inch heels this monsoon and opt for a classy and comfortable pair instead.

Some of our favourite designers have been creating menswear-inspired shoes: brogues, oxfords, lace-up—you name it; we have a selection of shoes for every woman's wardrobe.

Here are seven pairs to try, no matter the occasion:

For when you're going dancing

Take a break from those sky-high stilettos. Instead, pick Moschino's Black Laced shoes are bound to make heads turn. 

For when you're feeling casual

Try on Hermes Moccasins in Irving to add a smart flair to your wardrobe.

For when you're going to brunch

Pair Stella McCartney's Powder Rose Britt shoes with a trendy pair of culottes and watch as the compliments from your girlfriends come pouring in.

For when you're making a shopping trip

Opt for a comfortable pair of shoes such as Office's Billie Brogued Lace Ups with a cute shift dress for day-time dressing.

For when you're working late

Pair Michael Kors Zane Patent – Leather Brogues with a pencil skirt and you're ready for the conference room.

Dinner date and you don't want to wear ballet flats yet again? Try these gold Prada Tasseled Driver Loafers.

For when you're strapped for cash

Are you on a budget? Throw on a pair of ASOS' Mega Boom Lace up shoes with a pair of daily denims and you're good as new.
