Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Admittedly, I am late to the brogue/oxford party — they’ve been in stores for more than a year and a half, and so many chic New Yorkers wear them all the time with skirts and dresses.

For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning.
