Not Heels, Not Trainers—The "Outdated" Shoe Trend Fashion People Can't Get Enough Of
The sensible '70s daytime shoe beloved by boho chic dressers and gardeners alike has made a very chic comeback.

TheBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK team are known for advocating for "ugly" shoes. Wholesale Replica Bag to pique our interest? Clogs. Blame it on TikTok's wrong shoe theory taking our doctrine to the mainstream or the increase in divisive footwear like Mary Jane trainers or slip-on loafers, but alternative shoes are back in a big way.
Around major fashion capitals like London and Copenhagen, clog outfits have certainly increased of late courtesy of their ease of wear and the warm weather. As for the rest of fashion, I can pinpoint the moment we turned towards sporting clog outfits—when Chloé debuted its studded clogs on the autumn/winter 2024 runway, the debut collection for current creative director Chemena Kamali.
Now, I know we say the word "chic" a lot in fashion, but these were chic—simple, elegant shined leather in khaki, brown or black with contrasting studs lining the sides. The heels were low, so you could easily wear them every day, but also featured a cork platform that could be dressed up with wafty lace dresses and layers of ruffles. As they came down the runway, I imagined wearing them with jeans and a white t-shirt or my favourite brightly coloured mini dress.
Of course, it didn't take long for the Replica Handbags set to catch on. From Amal Clooney wearing netted versions from Stella McCartney while on holiday in Saint Tropez to Sienna Miller wearing wedge PVC versions, what was once a humble '70s day shoe or gardening staple has quickly become Wholesale Replica Bag cult buy.
Just look at Daisy Edgar-Jones's boho chic ensemble from the Twisters press tour. That peach dress, one of the biggest colour trends for 2025, and backless brown mules instantly became one of the most memorable silhouettes of the decade, proving clog outfits have assuredly broken through the "outdated" threshold and become a hallmark of chic contemporary style.
Ultimately, it's clear that there is real craft put into creating these shoes. Of course, those particular clogs are fully at the top of every fashion person's summer shoe wishlist now. But fear not, as there are plenty of other designers offering up clogs, from Isabel Marant to Re/Done as well as Mango and FitFlop (yes, really).
But owning clogs is just halfway there. Styling them can feel difficult, especially if you want to veer away from costume territory or looking like you just got back from a trip to The Netherlands. Ahead, we've rounded up six chic clog outfits to serve as inspiration for your next breezy footwear look. Uncover them all, ahead.
6 Chic Clog Outfits to Replicate This Season:
1. Cardigan + Denim Skirt + Clogs
Style Notes: Clogs are chunky yes, but it's this quality that also offers quite a lot of structure to your silhouette. Pair things back with a breezy lightweight knit and fluid denim maxi skirt for a more fluid take that pays homage to the shoe's outdoor origins.
Shop the Outfit:
This piece feels like it came right out of a French girl's capsule wardrobe.
Such a steal for under £35, especially considering it's available from size 6-24 and across petite, regular and tall fits.
2. Double Denim + Sweater + Clogs
Style Notes: Co-ords have always served their purpose for fuss-free dressing, but no style has been more controversial than double denim. Lean into the polarity by pairing it with an equally critiqued shoe. The effect is actually one that is quite lived-in and understatedly chic.
Shop the Outfit:
The key to styling multiple pieces of denim is sticking to the same shade. I love this cool undertone version as it complements lighter colours like white jeans as well as darker hues like indigo washes.
A great alternative to the fashion editor-approved COS arch jeans.
Bridge the gap between suede loafers and suede sandals with this textured clog iteration.
3. White Skirt + Shirred Top + Clogs
Style Notes: Despite brands like Birkenstock and Rothys springing to mind when we first think of clogs, we can't underestimate the amount of chic designer offerings from leading luxuriate's like Gucci, Prada and Bottega Veneta. Because of the artistry embedded into these iterations, you can keep the remainder of your outfit more classic with a white cotton poplin skirt and shirred top—both excellent spring fashion staples.
Shop the Outfit:
If you're looking to shop the gathered shirt trend, Peachy Den's Deba top is the first style every chic dresser will recommend.
Same goes for Reformation's floaty Lucy Skirt.
I love these suede clogs as a substitute for the sold-out Gucci Elea G-logo rubber sandals. Not only are they made of the fabric du jour, but feature a contrast animal print strap which is very much on trend.
4. Coloured Top + Coloured Trousers + Clogs
Style Notes: Clogs are an essential wardrobe item for many northern Europeans, including the Dutch and Danish. Fittingly, Scandi style muse, Elsa Hosk, has made clog outfits her go-to model off-duty ensemble. Here, she's not only wearing a head-to-toe powder pink outfit—which just so happens to be one of spring's biggest colour trend—but fully embracing the relaxed energy of clogs with an oversized blazer and brightly coloured option.
Shop the Outfit:
You may not immediately think it, but pink is quickly becoming a new "neutral", leading to endless styling options.
If I were to invest in a designer pair of clogs, this Burberry option is what I'd choose.
5. Statement Coat + Baggy Jeans + Clogs
Style Notes: Since the shoes are so laid-back, you can balance the languidness of the shape with an equally slouchy yet statement-making coat. The best thing about this look is how effortless it is to put together, but the drama of the trench's length and the sumptousness of its fabric will trick people into thinking you exerted more energy in styling your outfit than you actually did.
Shop the Outfit:
A belted coat can give so much shape to your look.
Consider these the ultimate starter clog—a well-loved and durable classic that will serve you (and your outfits) well thanks to their timeless appeal.
6. Button-Down Shirt + Tailored Trouser + Clogs
Style Notes: Contrary to what you suspect, clogs can actually be dressed up, too. Of course, Chloé is the best example of this, but if flared jeans and leather capes aren't your MO, you can look to more polished pieces to build your clog outfit upon. Stick to elevated basics and a soft clog to pull it all together.
Shop the Outfit:
I love the added buckled detail on these slingback flats.

I can't wait to pair these with linen trousers come summer.
