Men Are To Tristan Blair Oxfords As Women Are To Manolo Blanhik Stilettos

It's not the day and age (anymore) to condemn oxfords to being just dress shoes worn to work and Sunday ceremonies. Oxfords are jean and T-shirt worthy and make quite the quintessential compliment to an I-didn't-try-so-hard-to-dress-myself look. So falling upon the high end but relatively unknown Aussie shoe designer, Tristan Blair (via For-Tomorrow), immediately caught our attention with his must-have menswear (and womenswear) collections.

Tristan Blair's mens S/S 2010 oxfords are like the flower bouquets at Union Square's daily farmers market -- providing both a variety of beautiful classics as well as fresh exotics. The Sydney designer's S/S 2010 collection offers his take on the classic silhouette but adds not-so-subtle-but-not-so-loud details -- from exposing seams of the exquisitely meticulous leather work, to combining textures -- while staying safe with a neutral color scheme.

Slip on an oxford, skinny jeans or shorts and top it off with your favorite shirt for a casual but subtly edgy look.
