Women who want masculine styles usually buy lace up oxfords or loafers, but it s time to consider the monk strap. Topshop s rich green version pairs well with tweed trousers, while Aquatalia s shiny Bordeaux patent pair contrasts nicely with a sweeping midi skirt. And if you want to splurge, Dries van Noten s blue platform pair is a standout.
