We know we've been hinting at it for a while, but clogs are shaping up to be one of the It shoes of the year, and they might just stick around for the next. Although they've been known to many as "ugly" shoes, people's priorities have shifted in the past year, and comfort has outweighed aesthetics in many areas. We're not sure if it's just us, but the shoes aren't looking so bad on the eyes anymore. If anything, they're looking incredibly cool. While we flaunt painful high heels on the regular, it's a breath of fresh air to see clunky, comfortable, and durable shoes on the feet of fashion folk. 

It seems like they've come around in high fashion, too, as designers like Gucci, Chanel, and Bottega Veneta have all released their own version of clogs. Some of our editors have already hopped on the train, so it's not too late to get yourself aboard as well. While clogs are commonly referred to as shoes with a wooden sole, we've rallied up our favorites of all the versions, from sandals to modern rubber styles.

Yusra Siddiqui is an editor who resides in New Jersey but bounces between the suburbs and NYC. (She's a Jersey girl at heart.) After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
