Transition Your Look: Women's Derby Shoes From Office to Outing

August 21, 2024

Whether you prefer maintaining a minimalist wardrobe or simply prefer versatile footwear, you can't go wrong with derby shoes. This iconic style is a must if you're looking for shoes that can take you from the office to a casual brunch, a shopping trip, or other outings.
With the ability to be easily dressed up and down, derby shoes exemplify understated style and are perfect for women who value fashion and function.

What Are Derby Shoes?

Derby shoes, characterized by their open lacing system, have roots in 19th-century Britain. They were initially designed as a more comfortable alternative to the Oxford shoe. Unlike the Oxford, which has a closed lacing system, the Derby's open laces provide a more relaxed fit, making them ideal for long wear.
In the past, derby shoes were predominantly worn by men as a less formal option compared to Oxfords. Over time, they have evolved into a popular style for women and men.
Women's derby shoes are ideal for various occasions, from afternoons at the office to picnics in the park or shopping trips on the high street. This versatility makes derby shoes an excellent buy for those who would rather not spend unnecessary time changing footwear or tote an extra pair of shoes if they have after work plans.
Comfortable, classic, and boasting quality craftsmanship, derby shoes are a must-have for the woman on the go.

Key Features of Origo's "The New Derby" Shoes

Origo's "The New Derby" takes the classic women's derby shoes to the next level. The classic style has been updated and streamlined to align with a minimalist aesthetic. In fact, one of the standout features of Origo's New Derby is its unique blend of modern comfort with a classic silhouette.

Unlike traditional derby shoes, which can sometimes feel stiff or restrictive, Origo's version molds to the foot, providing all-day comfort. Whether you're spending long hours at the office or heading out for an evening stroll, these shoes are designed to keep up with your lifestyle.

Additionally, it offers a roomy fit that allows for more natural foot movement. The lightweight design and flexible sole provide the sensation of walking barefoot, promoting better posture and reducing foot fatigue.

"The New Derby" is crafted from high-quality, natural leather sourced from local tanneries and certified by the Leather Working Group. It comes in various colors, with the black version made from crinkle patent leather that's dressy enough for work and nights out.

 

Styling Tips for the Office

Derby shoes are a versatile addition to your professional wardrobe, as you can effortlessly pair them with your corporate and business-casual outfits. Consider wearing the black patent leather version with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt and a crisp blouse for a more polished office look. The sleek design of these women's derby shoes adds a touch of sophistication to your outfit, making them suitable for important meetings or presentations.

If you prefer a more feminine touch, pair your derby shoes with a pleated midi skirt and a tucked-in blouse. This combination balances professionalism and style, allowing you to express your personality while maintaining a polished appearance. The key is to keep the color palette neutral, opting for shades like black, navy, or camel to ensure your outfit remains office-appropriate.

For those in creative industries where the dress code is more relaxed, casual derby shoes can be worn with tailored jeans and a blazer. This look is both chic and comfortable, perfect for a day filled with meetings and brainstorming sessions.

 

Transitioning to an Outing

The beauty of women's derby shoes lies in their ability to pair seamlessly with any look, whether it's a meeting at the office or a casual meetup with your friends. With just a few styling tweaks, you can take your look from day to night without missing a beat.

For a quick transition, swap out your office attire for a pair of skinny jeans and a relaxed sweater or, for warm-weather occasions, a short-sleeved dress. Derby shoes' casual yet polished look complements either outfit, making them perfect for dinner with friends or a weekend getaway. Add a statement necklace or a pair of bold earrings to elevate the look further.

If heading to a more casual event, consider pairing your casual derby shoes with a flowy maxi dress or a full skirt. For colder weather, you can wear solid-colored tights underneath your dress and skirt, then top off your look with a blazer or jacket. The contrast between the structured shoes and the soft fabric creates visual interest, while the outerwear ensures balance, transforming a basic outfit into a fashion-forward ensemble. A simple change of accessories, like swapping a tote bag for a clutch or replacing your simple stud earrings with chandelier ones, can further ease the transition from office to outing.
