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. 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 summer dresses. 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:

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 gives it an off-duty vibe that I'm very much into these days.
Shop the look:
How pretty! The Quinn Dress from DÔEN is a classic.
The knit vest is now a wardrobe staple to keep hold of.
The fluffy lining makes them even comfier.

The wash feels fresh for summer.
I love when I see people wear them 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.
Shop the look:
This oversized jumper is so effortlessly cool.
I have these jeans and love them.
This braided pair is fun, isn't it?
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 to show people that you're not just wearing them—you're styling them.
