Wait — clogs are back in? Clogs were the epitome of a fashion faux pas for a long time. But as the BBC noted earlier this year, they have become the "style statement of the year." Why? Well, according to clog superfan and editor at US Vogue, Lauren Mechling, "There are multiple factors that have converged into a perfect storm of the clog's comeback, the first being that, in our post-#girlboss moment, feminism isn't just in fashion, but is ingrained in the culture like never before."
As Grazia noted, clogs have already been spotted on Dua Lipa and the Hermes runway. As LA-based designer Rosetta Getty told the publication, something about the shoe just works. "The clog is an incredibly practical and comfortable shoe. I think it's interesting that they date back to the 1200s, but still feel so modern today because of the clean, architectural silhouette."
As New York-based personal stylist Katie Rivera told us, "The key to wearing this style of shoe is to have some type of volume with your pant leg. If you wear a skinny jean/pant or a legging, the clog ends up looking out of proportion on your foot." In the winter, she added, you can even wear them with socks!
