I was relatively late to the Birkenstock party. I bought my first pair during the pandemic with a desire for a comfy shoe alternative for my day-to-day. Now, I barely go a day without wearing a pair. I'll admit they fit my "working mom in L.A." lifestyle to a T. From school drop-offs to casual meetings, they're the practical and cool brand I turn to time and again.
The perception of the humble shoes has changed massively since I started in fashion. Their versatility, practicality, and laid-back simplicity are markers for their rise to fame among the fashion set. These days, you're far more likely to see a Who What Wear editor running around in a pair of Boston Clogs rather than stilettos. The fashion crowd and celebrities alike (heck, even Barbie!) are clearly embracing the plainness and practicality of the comfy shoes.
If you need some inspiration on how to style Birkenstocks this fall, then take a peek below at a handful of fresh and cool ways the fashion set has been wearing them this season so far. Keep scrolling to shop the looks and, of course, my favorite pairs.
Monikh Dale shows us that baggy jeans and Birkenstock Boston Clogs look all the chicer when paired with mixed layers and fabrics. Choose a pretty white blouse with a neutral jacket (preferably in the same color as your Birks).
