Clogs just might have the unsexiest reputation of all the controversial shoes. Thong sandals have also famously divided the fashion community, but they're inherently sultry. They show slivers of toes and heels. They're even named after a word used to describe the skimpiest of underwear.
And clogs… well, clogs just aren't risqué. They're associated with gardening. But that's what gives them their unexpected charm. They add quirk and ease. They're not trying too hard. They know who they are, and they're not pretending to be anything else. And maybe that's exactly why they're everywhere right now.
Clogs exemplify the kind of casual cool that feels rare in today's fashion landscape, where everyone's chasing the perfect shot or curating the perfect outfit. What's often missing is something like a pair of clogs—something casual, comfortable, and cute that grounds a look with a sense of unpretentious reality.
No one understands that balance more than Mrs. Prada herself. At the Miu Miu spring/summer 2025 show, models wore slip-on clogs with funny little socks that didn’t cover the toes. The result was a weird look that worked. The models actually looked like they slipped them on before leaving the house (not like they thought too hard about it). As always, the Miu Miu girl has a serene security in the way she dresses herself, which is so enviable because it feels so easy to wear.
At Ulla Johnson and Chloé, designers leaned into the more bohemian nature of clogs, pairing them with flowing tops and lace-trimmed skirts. At Hermès, they were worn with an uptown sensibility—styled with leather pants, matching jackets, and small crop tops. But what all the clog looks had in common was that they looked fun to wear. They felt like the kind of sandals you'd want to reach for when getting ready—ones that don’t require much thought.
They're also a perfect alternative to flip-flops in that they're more robust.
