Turns Out I'm Granola-Curious—62 Elevated Picks Inspired by the TikTok Trend

granola-curious-fashion-trend-310015-1697486893552-main

Since last year, I noticed a shift happening in my personal style but couldn't quite put my finger on how to define it. I was (and am) still interested in my usual classic-meets-minimalist neutral outfits, but I found my attention gravitating toward more laid-back looks that have an outdoorsy feel. For fall, I've been especially craving fleece jackets, plaid details, and relaxed jeans, and more than anything, I want to wear Birkenstock Boston clogs 24/7. It wasn't until I came across a viral TikTok video last month from Kylie Cline, aka @koolieclone, that I finally had the perfect term to help describe my personal style as of late: granola-curious.

With that in mind, I set out to find outfit inspiration that reflects an aesthetic that romanticizes but doesn't fully embrace a granola vibe while still incorporating my commitment to chic and classic ensembles. Keep scrolling to check out a variety of stylish outfit ideas that fit the bill, plus 62 elevated picks inspired by the TikTok trend to help re-create each look. This is essentially a guide on how to wear Birkenstock clogs for fall and winter, and I, for one, am not mad about it.
