Clogs: The Footwear Making An Unexpected Comeback
This fall is calling for the revival of a '90s footwear classic—the clog.
According to celebrities and street style— it's officially the season of the clog. Between an understated Birkenstock Boston and a runway-worthy modern Loewe rendition — this iconic '90s footwear is here to stay. In a post-pandemic world— fashion seems to be increasingly adopting comfort and ease of use above all else. And unlike lace-up sneakers and bulky boots—the appeal of the elevated utilitarian slip-on, slip-off style is its simplicity. But while clogs may be about comfort, that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style, with an array of options filled with design details that will elevate any look. From platform soles to shearling lining to stud detailing, here are the best clogs to shop worthy of the fall season and beyond.
