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.

5: Midi Dress + Sleeveless Sweater
