When my friends saw me wearing Birkenstocks, they did a double take. I'm quite the fashion person who lives for a pair of heeled booties, so this was a bit out of character. I honestly think just a year or two ago I would have also done a double take upon seeing myself, but things have changed. Birkenstock's Boston clogs are cool again, and there are plenty of ways to style clogs that I'm exploring. Scrolling through Pinterest lately, I've seen them time and again, and after trying them out for myself, I've decided that I'm here for it.
What's the honest secret behind why I love these shoes so much? It's all about comfort, versatility, and a dash of nostalgia. These clogs have long been known for their unmatched comfort thanks to their contoured cork footbeds that mold to the shape of your feet.
But now, they're making waves beyond the comfort factor. Fashion-forward individuals are discovering that these clogs are surprisingly versatile, pairing seamlessly with everything from casual jeans to European vacation outfits. Allow me to prove it to you. Below, find eight outfits that fashion people styled this pair of shoes with.
Shop 8 Birkenstock Outfits I'm Going to Copy This Season:
1. Double Denim
Style Notes: I have seen this photo of Anouk on my Pinterest feed every time that I've looked up Birkenstocks. Denim on denim has never failed me, and it looks so good with these shoes.
Shop the look:
When in doubt, denim on denim it is.
A fashion editor favourite that never fails. The stretch fit is comfortable (but it looks like regular denim).
Such a versatile shoe.
2. Ruffle Blouse + Baggy Jeans
Style Notes: Bringing the Chloé vibes, this ruffled blouse is perfection when paired with a cool jacket and Birkenstocks, as Monikh proves. I'd wear it to the office, for casual coffee runs, and everywhere in between.
Shop the look:
This top will always be on my wish list.
A relaxed fit works beautifully with clog-style shoes.
I love the super light sandy tone of these. They will match with so many trouser and top combinations.
3. Vest + Maxi Skirt
Style Notes: Tailored waistcoats took over the wardrobes of the fashion crowd, and they're sticking around for summer 2025, too. Rachael's outfit is one I'm planning to copy and wear a lot this season, and Birkenstocks are the perfect finishing touch.
Shop the look:
This cool cropped version is ideal for summer wear.
A white linen skirt is part of any great warm-weather capsule.
Chocolate brown started as a trend, but it's a classic colour that's here to stay.
4. Midi Dress + Sleeveless Sweater
Style Notes: My favourite thing about midi dresses is that you can wear whatever shoes you'd like since the dress does most of the talking for the outfit. Adding a pair of Birkenstocks like Taffy has done gives it an off-duty vibe that I'm very much into these days.
Shop the look:
The Quinn Dress from DÔEN is a classic.
This piece is essential for transitioning between summer and autumn.
The fluffy lining makes them even comfier and great for cooler months.
5. Vest + Cargo Pants
Style Notes: Fully embrace the outdoors by pairing your Birkenstocks with a cosy vest and cargo pants, like Lucy has expertly done. Great for intrepid travelling, or just popping out for a coffee run. New aesthetic unlocked!
Shop the look:
A gorgeous knitted cardigan. Wear by itself in the summer or layer in autumn.
The stitching on these trousers make them stand out from your usual pair of cargos.
These come in two timeless colours—black and tan.
6. Bomber Jacket + Cuffed Jeans
Style Notes: When I think of running from boulangerie to brasserie in Paris, I think of an outfit like Monikh's. This is the French-girl way of styling Birkenstocks, and I'm here for it.
Shop the look:
If you're feeling fatigued by your blue denim jacket, this pink is a fun replacement.
The wash feels fresh for summer.
I love when I see people wear Birkenstocks with socks too.
7. Wide-Leg Jeans + Jumper
Style Notes: Do you work from home too? My go-to work-from-home outfit has always consisted of wide-leg jeans, a very comfortable sweater, and a pair of shoes I can slide into if I need to run a quick errand. Birkenstocks have always paired well with this ensemble for me. Marianne has this styling down to a science with her outfit.
Shop the look:
This relaxed crewneck jumper is so effortlessly cool. It's easy to dress up or keep casual.
These jeans have a blend of cotton and tencel, so they feel buttery soft.
Birkenstock does up to size 46, which is fantastic for people with larger shoe sizes.
8. Blazer + Shorts
Style Notes: Birkenstock's Boston shoes are naturally on the casual side, so fashion people have been dressing their pairs up with blazers. This is a no-fail way from Lou to show people that you're not just wearing them—you're styling them.
Shop the Look:
A relaxed, linen-blend blazer is perfect for all seasons.
Bermuda shorts have proven their trendiness once more this summer. This pair offers a fabulous silhouette.
A cocoa brown pair of Birkenstocks' Boston clogs is a clever investment. They work perfectly from summer to winter.
