Women's brogues opinions?

Any opinions on brogues for school shoes such as the ones in the picture? I'll be buying the top pair to wear with a skirt but I've been told they look very masculine?

From Clarks btw if anyone wants to know :smile:

I don't wear brogues to school anymore but they are very cute. I wouldn't say that they're masculine. They're pretty good for walking and the ones I have (and my mum) from Clarks are very good. They've lasted. Hope this helps! :tongue:

I like them. I think they would look nice with a skirt. They obviously won't look very masculine with a skirt, they would look cute.

Thank you! Funnily enough it's the boys commenting on how "masculine" they are. I just want something comfy and warm.

They look too formal and a bit bulky for a girls shoe.

The bottom pair are OK I guess, the top pair definitely look like boys shoes.

Fair enough actually.
I must say that I saw them in the shop and they're a lot nicer the picture doesn't quite do it justice but I see what you mean when you compare the two.

Dr Martens? Not a fan of them they're huge lol.

I think the best shoes a girl can wear are just like vans or converse tbh. Not a fan of heels or any other ott shoe. Just my opinion though.
There just regular brogues, not masculine at all. I've been wearing a similar pair for years, they're a good smart shoe.
I have the bottom pair for work and I hate them. I think they look masculine, but then again I do hate brogues so I'm really biased.
I don't think they look nice and yeah they do look quite masculine, I'm a boy btw 😅

They do looks tiny bit masculine but I've seen girls at my school pull it off. I recommend you go to the store itself and try them on.
I went to the store again and tried them on and I think it's something you have to see in person, they're defo cuter than they look in pictures. Not to mention ridiculously comfortable so I'm happy :smile:

I really like them :smile:

Being a guy I think they look cute on girls!

In my opinion, the ones you have picked out look quite pointy which personally I wouldn't say are suited for girls as much. Try and pick something that is a bit more curved.


Not criticism, just an opinion. Be confident in whatever you choose!
