Following flared jeans, hippie dresses, hair scarves, and other '70s trends, clogs are now the flagship footwear stealing the show. You've likely spotted them on celebrities in magazines—they're the it-shoes of the season!
Evoking the robust, vintage charm of our grandmothers' clogs, they're far from the chunky holiday figurine style. Yet designers are reviving this vintage trend, transforming the '70s staple—once paired with flared jeans and floral shirts into a symbol of effortless cool—into sleek, 21st-century versions. Lighter and more refined with noble materials, graphic lines, and vibrant colors, they boast a couture edge from houses like Stella McCartney, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Miu Miu. No longer just rural, clogs are now urban essentials for fashion-forward wardrobes, perfect with a banana bag or belted dress. Stars like Julia Roberts, Kate Moss, and Alexandra Golovanoff showcase their versatility. From wooden, velvet, cork clogs, leopard print, cowhide, python, to bold reds, endless options await.Move beyond the traditional single-block wooden clog—these are now elegantly stylized.
Opt for classic closed-toe, open-heel designs or elevate with high-heeled versions. The season's star is the '70s wedge clog with visible toes and split leather or cowhide uppers, ideal for boho-chic vibes.
For stability without sacrificing style, choose strappy options.
On colors, embrace pastels for a soft, romantic feel with flower clogs in pink, nude, or mint. Add edge with leopard or python prints. Graphic clogs feature couture details like colored lines, straps, buckles, studs, and wavy soles. Materials range from light cork to luxurious leather and velvet. Post-Covid, sheepskin clogs offer cozy comfort midway between rustic mules and slippers, pairing perfectly with loungewear.
