8 Clog Outfits That'll Make You Give the "Ugly" Shoes a Chance in 2024
If images of bell-bottoms and suede fringed jackets are what first come to mind whenever you think of clog outfits, think again. Once synonymous with the '70s, clogs have been reimagined in 2024. Yes, boho is back (thank you, Chloé), but not all clogs are of the chunky wood variety thanks, in large part, to Birkenstock's Boston Clogs. Flat, sleek versions like The Row's Hugo Slide are much easier to style on a day-to-day basis, but we have been seeing the traditional rendition on runways too. Man, those are still fun!
Clog outfits with jeans are especially effortless, classic, and comfortable, and you can wear this combination all year long. I love the idea of a simple white tee showing a bit of midriff, baggy low-rise jeans, and a pair of classic Dr. Scholl's sandals while the weather's still warm and then close-toed suede clogs with an oversize sweater once it's cool. An enduring albeit polarizing fashion mainstay can't be pigeonholed. Below, you'll find the traditional boho clogs designed by Chemena Kamali for Chloé's F/W 24 collection as well as seven other clog outfits that prove the "ugly" shoes can easily be worn every day with whatever's in your closet.
The Chloé Way
If you'd like to stick with traditional wooden clogs, take notes from the runway and pair them with a frilly or lace top and high-waisted jeans.
Clogs come in many different silhouettes, but this heeled mule version worn by Daisy Edgar-Jones is a sure way to add some sleekness to the shoe style.
Classically Cool
Take your clogs for a Sunday stroll with a classic trench coat, bootcut jeans, and a graphic tee. Accessories like a canvas tote and aviator glasses turn things up a notch.
A Touch of Suede
Leather clogs will always add some edge, but a touch of suede will instantly make your look feel more luxe. For fall, dark-wash jeans and a trench coat are a must in the outfit formula.
Early 2000s Stallion
To date myself, this look reminds me of something I might've seen in a Candies ad or Delia's catalog, which is a compliment. For the warmer days, this outfit is fun and youthful and pairs perfectly with clogs of the chunky variety.
Easy, Breezy Neutrals
A gauzy navy camisole and matching pants are aspirational when paired with The Row's Hugo Slides in beige. Don't fret! If The Row isn't in your budget, Birkenstock's Boston Clogs work as well.
Keeping It Transitional
For those in-between-weather days, this outfit makes perfect sense. The ribbed socks with clogs are the perfect final touch and a styling note I'll be taking with me into fall.
Cozy Central
In this writer's opinion, you can never go wrong with Birkenstock clogs. The comfort alone makes them worth the buy. Plus, I can't think of another shoe style that would complete a neutral and cozy outfit like this one. It's a no-brainer!
