When my friends saw me wearing Birkenstocks, they did a double take. I'm quite the fashion person who lives for a pair of heeled booties, so this was a bit out of character. I honestly think just a year or two ago I would have also done a double take upon seeing myself, but things have changed. Birkenstock's Boston Clogs are cool again. Scrolling through Pinterest lately, I've seen them time and again, and after trying them out for myself, I've decided that I'm here for it.
What's the honest secret behind why I love these shoes so much? It's all about comfort, versatility, and a dash of nostalgia. These clogs have long been known for their unmatched comfort thanks to their contoured cork footbeds that mold to the shape of your feet. But now, they're making waves beyond the comfort factor. Fashion-forward individuals are discovering that these clogs are surprisingly versatile, pairing seamlessly with everything from casual jeans to European summer dresses. Allow me to prove it to you. Below, find eight outfits that fashion people styled this pair of shoes with.
Shop the Fashion Set's Birkenstock Outfits:
1: Blazer + Shorts
Style Notes: Birkenstock's Boston shoes are naturally on the casual side, so fashion people have been dressing their pairs up with blazers. This is a no-fail way to show people that you're not just wearing them—you're styling them.
Shop the look:
I saw this blazer in person and can attest to the fact that it's perfect for fall.
I'm still wearing denim shorts.
I did some digging, and Schuh had the most sizes in stock.
2: Double Denim
Style Notes: I have seen this photo on my Pinterest board every time that I've looked up Birkenstocks. Denim on denim has never failed me and looks so good with the shoes.
Shop the look:
When in doubt, denim on denim it is.
I'm starting to think about taking a break from wide-leg jeans for this straight pair that I saw on Kendall Jenner last week.
Such a versatile shoe.
3: Ruffle Blouse + Baggy Jeans
Style Notes: If you're like me and are taking your dear sweet time to transition into fall, this summer blouse is perfection when paired with a cool jacket and Birkenstocks. I'd wear it to the office, for casual coffee runs, and everywhere in between.
Shop the look:
This top will always be on my wish list.
How cool are these?
This just might be the best pair of Birkenstocks that I've seen.
4: Vest + Maxi Skirt
Style Notes: Tailored vests have quickly taken over the closets of the fashion crowd, and when you pair one with a maxi skirt, you're hitting two birds with one stone. This is an outfit I'm planning to wear a lot this season, and Birkenstocks are the perfect finishing touch.
Shop the look:
Bring on all of the linen vests.
You'll be glad you bought this skirt.
I can't live without my pair.
5: Midi Dress + Sleeveless Sweater
Style Notes: My favourite thing about midi dresses is that you can wear whatever shoes you'd like since the dress does most of the talking for the outfit. Adding a pair of Birkenstocks gives it an off-duty vibe that I'm very much into these days...
Shop the look:
Topping my payday wish-list right now.
Such a cute colour.
There they are.
6: Vest + Cargo Pants
Style Notes: Fully embrace the granola-friendly grandma-core look by pairing your Birkenstocks with a cosy vest and cargo pants. New aesthetic unlocked.
Shop the look:
These types of vests are going to have a moment this year.
Suddenly, I am obsessed with these pants.
Voilà.
7: Bomber Jacket + Cuffed Jeans
Style Notes: When I think of running from boulangerie to brasserie in Paris, I think of an outfit like this. This is the French-girl way of styling Birkenstocks, and I'm here for it.
Shop the look:
This is an editor loved favourite at Who What Wear UK.
I've had many daydreams about this bag.
I need a pair of turned-hem jeans ASAP.
I love when I see people wear them in black too.
8: Wide-Leg Jeans + Jumper
Style Notes: Do you work from home too? My go-to work-from-home outfit has always consisted of wide-leg jeans, a very comfortable sweater, and a pair of shoes I can slide into if I need to run a quick errand. Birkenstocks have always paired well with this ensemble for me.
Shop the look:
This cashmere blend jumper is incredible.
I have these jeans and love them.
There so hard to find so when you see a pair—grab them.
