Years ago, Birkenstocks were very much considered fashion outliers. But over the past few years, they've exploded in popularity. After some extensive googling, I can confidently say that it was back in 2018 when the ultimate "ugly" sandals truly became accepted in fashion circles, which meant Birkenstocks started appearing everywhere.

Of course, it's more than that. There have been cool, high-profile collaborations with fashion brands such as Proenza Schouler and Rick Owens that have also piqued the interest of insiders and shoppers alike. And during the pandemic, these shoes became the most sought-after in the world. Global fashion shopping platform Lyst even marked them as one of the most searched-for items in 2022.

Now, in 2025, the German brand has certifiably become a mainstay. These comfy shoes can be seen outside fashion shows and all over Instagram. While the classic two-strap sandals are a popular choice, there are also plenty of looks featuring the sell-out 'Boston' clog—perfect if you prefer a closed-toe. Birkenstock outfit ideas are pretty easy to come by, and they're also incredibly varied, which is great news if you're looking for slides that have longevity and versatility. Although the looks we've selected are all great, you'll no doubt find even more inspiration if you head to your own Insta feed. Trust me, they're everywhere. But for now, keep scrolling to see how to style Birkenstocks, the 2025 way.
