The shoe that has the fashion crowd in a chokehold this spring? The clog. Yes, that clompy wooden shoe that encapsulates this season’s undeniably ’70s mood, and should be considered your alternative to sandals, mules or those balletic trainers as the weather (hopefully) gets warmer.
The best way to wear them? With jeans. As proven by the countless street-stylers snapped in fashion cities pairing their go-to denim with every art teacher’s preferred shoe.
How to wear the ’70s-inspired clog trend with jeans this spring
Who doesn’t love a Birk? The Arizona two-strap sandal reigned supreme for several summers, but the Boston clog has all but usurped it at this stage.
Blue jeans are never a bad idea, but white denim feels fresh as spring takes hold. Add a pair with a flare to clogs to really lean into the retro mood.
True clog aficionados will seek out the traditional kind, complete with wooden soles and exposed studs. Team with straight leg denim in the summer months.
We do, after all, live in the UK, where sometimes the weather lends itself better to a fleecy lining than a bare ankle, even in spring. It’s why Vogue’s own Daisy Jones is living in her Tazz slippers right now.
Add a twist by pairing classic studded clogs and a trench with casual pieces: think ripped denim, sweatshirts and cult baseball caps.
To really run with the Chloé mood that has captivated the likes of Sienna Miller and Sydney Sweeney, you’ll need some heels. Pair your platform clogs with high-waisted denim flares for maximum boho appeal.
