Celebs in Their 50s and 70s Are Styling Jeans With This Flat Shoe Trend
Would Miranda Priestly wear a clog? Probably not. But Meryl Streep absolutely would—and has!
While out promoting the most highly anticipated fashion film sequel of all time, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Streep was spotted in a bright green polka dot jacket, a pair of dark-wash jeans, a large light blue tote and a pair of sleek black clogs. The actress is just as chic as the fictional editor-in-chief she plays, minus the pretentiousness. And so as far as we're concerned, the clog is very much in, despite Priestly's imagined approval or not. Streep's impeccable style has sold us on the look entirely.
The shoe looks great with a pair of jeans because it's just as casual as denim. It's an easy thing to throw on when you want to look comfortable. It also feels a lot more elevated than a pair of sneakers. The clog also has a bit of a so-wrong-its-right thing for it as well. It shouldn't work outside of a garden, but it really does. The concrete jungle suits it well.
It's also quietly become a bit of a go-to for chic older celebrities. Streep isn't the only fan of the look, Jennifer Aniston has also been recently spotted wearing jeans with a clog. And honestly, that's enough to convince us that this is a look we absolutely have to wear when we're stuck on how to style our favorite pair of Levi's 501s in a new way for the 100th time. Priestly would at least appreciate our ingenuity.
