How to Style Clogs: The Must-Have Season Shoe

You may have noticed clogs have been in our stores for a few seasons now, but the shoe is really having its moment this spring. Stylish and surprisingly comfortable, clogs are the perfect in-between shoe for when it’s not quite sandal season yet but you’re so ready to break from your winter boots (anyone else!?). And their versatility makes them seasonless—wear them with jeans today and dresses in the months to come. Here, a few tips for how to style clogs.

Types of Clogs

Before styling, it’s important to remember that clogs come in all shapes and sizes. We recommend choosing a clog that goes well with your style, and can be worn for multiple different occasions. Here are a few of the most popular types of clogs:

• Classic Mules: Mules are what we generally think of as the classic clog. These shoes have a solid wooden base, and commonly have a slight platform. This type of clog is a great addition for date nights, work outfits, and more!

• Heeled Clogs: Modern clogs don’t have to have a flat base! Many clogs come in the form of high heels, perfect for dressing up while keeping it comfortable.

• Rubber Clogs: Rubber clogs are popular for outdoor adventures and lake days. Often these types of clogs offer good arch support, making them a perfect option to wear around the house for chores or relaxing!

It doesn’t stop there! Any shoe without a back is typically considered a clog. Let’s jump into how to style clogs this season:

Tip 1: Pair It With Cropped Denim

The thick sole may look heavy, but these clogs are actually super light and comfortable. But nonetheless, it’s a chunky silhouette that’s worth showing off. Don’t contend with pant hems and instead select a cropped jean, especially if going with a wide leg that can get tripped up in a longer length.

Tip 2: Stick To Current Silhouettes

We love the retro vibes a clog gives, but you don’t want your look trending towards a head-to-toe ‘70s throwback. Pairing a clog with of-the-moment touches will keep it perfectly modern. Select denim with a raw hem for a bit of edge, or a cropped jacket that keeps proportions in check.

Tip 3: Elevate A Casual Look 

Thanks to the thicker sole, clogs will elevate any look more than, say, your favorite pair of Birkenstocks will (but don’t get us wrong—those are a wardrobe staple, too!). Perfect for brunch, date night or errands, clogs are quick to slip on and are just as comfortable. (And while you’re shopping, grab the Carly pant, too. It’s a spring staple!)
