In the last few years, we've seen editors and influencers alike zipping around Fashion Week in Birkenstocks. Namely, Eva Chen, aka super mum and director of fashion partnerships at Instagram, comes to mind (we present exhibit A and exhibit B). While chunky and comfy flats have been pegged as being one of the most comfortable (and supportive) shoe styles by doctors, when it comes to whether or not Birkenstocks are acceptable and stylish enough for the office, we consider the debate to be on.
We asked three top Australian influencers—Chloe Hill, Kelly Müller, and Talisa Sutton, all part of our Who What Wear Australia INF / Network—for their take on if Birkenstocks can be worn to the office. And if so, how? Whatever side of the debate you sit on, check out how street style girls are wearing the shoes and you might just be persuaded either way.
Keep scrolling to find out whether the three influencers consider wearing Birkenstocks to work a "yes" or a "don't go there", and to shop the trend.
