Lo and behold, clogs have officially solidified their place in the fashion mainstream. For a little while, this ’70s footwear remained on the fence of fashion-forward and faux pas but Birkenstock’s Boston clogs have pushed it towards the former.
TikTok and Instagram creators embraced the German brand’s clogs and began to incorporate it into their daily fits. Some went with style guides while others made recommendation videos of similar shoes from various brands.
There is no doubt that Birkenstock’s conforming cork soles and luxe smooth or suede leather uppers have made the pair so popular. But aside from it, we’ve decided to compile a list of modern and chic clogs to suit one’s individuality. Check em’ out, below.
Firstly, we must mention about the OG. This silhouette comes in a few colourways but this grey is the most popular and we can see why – it can go with almost any outfit from neutrals to brilliant hues.
Rubber footwear has made a significant comeback. Dress these up with high-waisted jeans, a white t-shirt, a yellow blazer and you have the perfect “Casual Fridays” office fit.
Not only is it comfortable with sunken footbeds, they also come with adjustable straps to ensure a secure fit and rubber soles to traverse slippery sidewalks.
Pink has been a trending colour for a long time and it does not seem to be leaving soon. The plush grain calfskin leather upper and footbed also makes it unique compared to others on the market.
Who could say no to some bling? Roger Vivier’s iconic crystal buckle instantly elevates the humble clogs made from the shiny crinkled patent-leather.
This one is for the quirky fashion lovers. Leopard and tiger prints are so passé, switch it up with a cow print instead. The faux fur also makes for excellent texture.
If Crocs do not tickle your fancy, might we suggest Prada? While they seem similar, the one from Prada only have holes on the inner-facing side of the shoes, which provides a more sophisticated look.
Ganni has updated the traditional wood-base clogs with metal studs and buckle to give it an edgy transformation.
A platform clog with a chunky heel? Say less. Pair these comfy kicks with a matching minidress and you’re ready for a day out on the town.
This sneaker-clog hybrid is one of the most outlandish designs we’ve come across but the cherry on top of the cake is the silkscreen-printed artwork by acclaimed artist Bryant Giles from Chicago.
We live in an era of sustainable fashion and we are glad to see more vegan options such as this pair from Simon Miller on the market.
With the house’s signature hand-applied monili beads, this Brunello Cucinelli pair has the perfect amount of sparkle to jazz up any outfit.
Futuristic shape meets 70s footwear, the sculptural heel changes the silhouette completely and we are into it.
Sweat is one of the biggest concerns when it comes to rubber footwear. No fret, the popular streetwear label took that into account by using a perforated design to makes the clogs breathable.
Don’t be put off by the stark white, the full rubber clogs are a snap to clean – even mud stains will disappear in a jiffy.
