If there’s one shoe that returns every summer without fail, it's the trusted Birkenstock. A combination of it's minimalist style, our need for comfort and the enduring appeal for effortless dressing, it has always ticked every box and has firmly cemented itself as a summer wardrobe staple.

While sandal trends come and go each year, the Birkenstock is one that we see every time without fail. Both practical and cool at the same time, it’s the flat shoe option that provides comfort first, and whether it’s worn with linen trousers, matching co-ord sets, jeans or dresses, it’s one of those staple pieces that can be mixed and matched with any piece in your wardrobe.

Flat sandals are the foundation of my summer wardrobe and I have to admit, I do have the Arizona Birkenstocks in a number of colours (the taupe and black being my most worn). And when I'm going into the office, I often style my black pair with a tailored trouser for an elevated yet casual look. I haven’t yet bought a pair of their Boston clogs, but after seeing how Monikh and Emma Rose Thatcher style theirs, I have been converted and they’re now on my list for this summer.

Wondering why Birkenstocks are an enduring icon? Scroll on to see five summer outfits with Birkenstocks for 2026 that will get you ready to introduce them to your wardrobe.

1. White Blouse + Wide-Leg Jeans

Style Notes: Monikh’s look is such an effortlessly cool option. White blouses are the new summer staple, and pairing them with wide-leg jeans makes them feel more 'everyday wearable' as opposed to a overly pretty. Styled with the Boston clogs and a suede jacket, it’s the perfect look for a day of running errands or sitting in the sun getting lunch.

2. Cami Top + Denim Midi Skirt

Style Notes: A denim midi skirt is one of the most worn pieces in my summer wardrobe, and something I always take on holiday with me. Pairing it with a strappy cami top and black Arizona Birkenstocks creates a chic monochrome look and is one you can easily recreate this year.

3. White Summer Dress + Bright Bag

Style Notes: There’s nothing quite like wearing a white dress in the midst of the summer. Pairing it with a classic Birkenstock allows it to be a look you can easily wear all day with comfort and style at the forefront, and taking inspo from Taffy, finishing it off with a bright bag adds a joyous pop of colour for the sunniest season.

4. Matching Co-Ord Set + Oversized Accessories

Style Notes: A matching co-ord set is one of those quick and easy throw-on outfits that makes you look instantly put-together. It’s a chic option that is minimal effort but that has a maximum impact result, and paired with a Boston clog and oversized accessories, it’s a look that can be worn on repeat and guarantee compliments each time.

5. Strappy Top + Printed Trousers

Style Notes: There’s something about dressing in summer that makes us all a tad more adventurous. As someone who usually steers away from bright colours and prints, the hot weather has me embracing them and introducing them into my everyday wardrobe. Chloe’s look has ticked every box for me with a statement striped trouser paired with a strappy top and topped off with a Birkenstock sandal.

I don't know about you but, as the days warm up, I've found myself increasingly unsure of what shoes to slip into. Living in the city, I don’t always love stepping out in something open-toed, but with temperatures rising and London’s humidity creeping in, my go-to trainers are starting to feel stuffy. If I could bear an open-toe, flip-flops would be the obvious solution—casual, breezy, easy to wear—but as much as I appreciate their effortlessness, they’re just not a staple I reach for for my commute and other daily endeavours. Emma Watson, however, has just reminded me of the classic closed-toe alternative that's even more comfortable than flip-flops.

Stepping out in Paris, Watson completed her jeans and barn jacket look with a light brown pair of Birkenstock Boston clogs.

Hardly a newcomer, Birkenstock's Boston shoes have been a heavyweight player in fashion people's wardrobes for years. The ergonomic cork sole, slip-on design and gently rounded toe all create a relaxed silhouette that makes styling so easy.

While Watson’s jeans-and-Birkenstock look is a classic pairing, the beauty of the Boston mule lies in its versatility. Lean towards a Scandi-inspired approach by matching it with loose linen separates, or style with cotton shorts during summer's hottest days.

With a closed-toe design and open-heel finish, these offer just the right amount of coverage for summer days in the city. So, if you're flip-flop hesitant like I am, read on to shop Birkenstock Boston clogs below.

As a fashion person who never compromises style for comfort, I’ve admired Birkenstock clogs from afar for years. I could appreciate why well-dressed people liked them, but they always felt a bit too casual for me. After seeing Jennifer Aniston recently step out in a jeans and shoe pairing that looked like the fashion equivalent of a warm hug, I knew I had to bite the bullet and take the plunge into shuffly clog territory. But when scrolling through the Birkenstock site, I was stopped dead in my tracks. Not by the predictable Boston, but by a new style: the Birkenstock Naples. This refined silhouette is poised to pick up right where the Boston left off, and I’ve noticed that stylish women on my Instagram feed are adopting it too.

For me, it's impossible to think of Birkenstock without thinking of the Arizona. Hugely popular throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the double-strapped, buckle-fastened, orthopaedic-cork-bed sandals were everywhere and on everyone. The original “ugly dad sandal”, this anti-fashion icon was championed by the likes of Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow, both of whom helped elevate the Arizona from practical footwear to a symbol of effortless off-duty cool.

Then came the explosion in popularity of the now-cult-status Boston clog, bolstered by the rise of “Covid-chic” stay-at-home dressing during the pandemic. Though it maintained a solid yet quieter reputation in earlier decades (the style was launched in 1976), especially amongst creatives and healthcare professionals, the Boston has since firmly earned its place in the mainstream fashion footwear hall of fame.

Providing Birkenstock’s heritage comfort with a refined twist, the Naples is the brand’s answer to those seeking a more elevated clog. Drawing from the beloved Boston model, the Naples reimagines the classic clog with a loafer-inspired silhouette; the addition of structured panelling and subtle stitching provides a polished, put-together edge. Available in rich suede and oiled leather finishes, this moccasin-style clog retains Birkenstock’s signature ergonomically shaped cork-latex footbed, offering all-day support whether you’re pounding the pavements or hitting the beach. Priced between £140 and £150, these sophisticated flats come at the same cost as their original counterparts and are available from all the usual Birkenstock stockists. A hit amongst my favourite fashion insiders, such as stylist Débora Rosa, I think the Birkenstock Naples is poised to become the next big thing in comfort-first fashion—think of it as the Boston's more refined, style-conscious cousin.

It’s a truth widely acknowledged that not all jeans and shoe combinations are created equal.

Jeans and heels can look amazing—if you find the right pairing. Trainers are a little more forgiving, but even they don’t work with every denim cut. Then there are shoes that I perceive to be tailor-made for jeans, and top of my list is Birkenstock’s iconic Boston clog.

Putting my theory to the test, Jennifer Aniston recently stepped out in the exact jeans-and-shoe pairing I genuinely think everyone could benefit from. Wearing a suede pair of Birkenstock Bostons, she styled the cult-favourite mules with slim-fitting, mid-wash jeans—neatly cuffed at the hem—a crisp white tee and a classic cross-body leather bag—creating an early-summer outfit that I can't find fault with.

A perennial two-piece look that fashion people return to once the sun starts to show, I’ve seen this combo on repeat during my London commute, but it’s also an L.A. staple, and I've seen this outfit on the streets of Amsterdam, too. No matter the city, the appeal is the same: easy, timeless style.

With your jeans and shoes sorted, building the rest of your outfit becomes a breeze. Take the style set's favourite route and keep it clean with a white tee, or lean into the trend and double up on the denim for a simple but striking look.

If you've also Googled "alternatives to white trainers" in the past few days, you're not alone.

There was a time when white trainers were practically the only shoes I wore. Running errands? White trainers. Heading to the office? White trainers. Trying to make a dress feel more relaxed? You get the idea. Their appeal is obvious—they go with everything, they never feel too try-hard, and they've been a solid wardrobe staple for years.

But recently, I've found myself wanting something… different. Not a complete departure from the ease of a white trainer, but an update, something with a little more character. If you're feeling the same, you might be on the hunt for alternatives to white trainers. And trust me: there are plenty of great options.

It's not that white trainers don’t still work—they do. But after seasons of heavy rotation, they can sometimes feel a little predictable, especially when you lean towards a minimalist wardrobe like me. I've noticed the same sentiment from a few of our Gen Z editors, which, honestly, surprised me. If anyone was going to be over our classic, reliable millennial shoe of choice, I assumed it would be them.

But no—they've embraced white trainers just as much as us, integrating them into their trend-heavy wardrobes in a way that makes them feel fresh again. The difference? They're not only wearing white trainers. Instead, they're also reaching for more classic shoes in general—like boat shoes and ballet flats—in ways that feel relaxed and relevant.

The runways backed this up, too. The spring/summer 2026 shows saw a return to simple, wear-forever footwear. At Bottega Veneta, newly incumbent creative director Louise Trotter debuted slipper-like flats styled with textured, feathered coats, proving they can feel as statement-making as a towering heel. At Miu Miu, a new collection with New Balance offset frilly apron tops and utilitarian layering. Elsewhere across Paris at Celine, Michael Ryder reintroduced derbys into the sartorial stratosphere, with early adopters including Tracee Ellis Ross. And whilst loafers and Mary Janes continue to have their moment, I've got my eye on five other classics that offer the same versatility as a white trainer but with a little more personality.

Of course, practicality still plays a part. I need something that can handle long days of walking, commuting and running between meetings without sacrificing style. And lo and behold, after some research (Instagram-stalking my favourite fashion people), I've found five alternatives that fit the bill, each offering a different take on everyday dressing. Some lean more polished, others more casual, but all are just as easy to wear as a white trainer.

Keep reading for my suggestions.

5 Chic Alternatives to White Trainers:

1. Boat Shoes

Style Notes: I'll admit that boat shoes weren't on my radar until recently. For years, they felt a little too "summering in the Hamptons," but the new wave of styles is far less preppy and instead, more wearable. Softer leathers, slightly chunkier soles and a more relaxed shape make them feel less "yacht club" and more effortlessly cool. I've been styling mine with slouchy trousers and an oversized knit—an easy way to balance out their slightly polished feel. They also work surprisingly well with denim shorts and a crisp white tee for a low-key spring outfit that still feels considered.

Shop the Trend:

2. Birkenstock Boston Clogs

Style Notes: If you've been on Instagram at all in the last year, you've seen the Birkenstock Boston Clog. Whilst they're not new, their appeal isn't fading anytime soon. They have that cool, slightly undone vibe that makes any outfit look considered—even if you're just wearing them to grab coffee. I like to contrast their chunkiness with something softer—think a silky slip skirt and a lightweight knit. They also work well with baggy denim and a simple tank for a more relaxed feel.

Shop the Trend:

3. Clarks Wallabees

Style Notes: Wallabees have always had a bit of a cult following, but lately, I'm seeing them everywhere. There's something about their slightly retro, '70s feel that makes them so interesting. They're casual but not sloppy, classic but not boring—the perfect middle ground. Fashion people are wearing them with wide-leg trousers and a simple tee to let the shoes do the talking. They also pair well with longer skirts for that cool, unexpected proportion play.

Shop the Trend:

4. Ballet Flats

Style Notes: Ballet flats are everywhere again, and I couldn't be more thrilled. They're simple, classic and work with just about everything. But this time around, they feel less elegant and more lived-in—perfect for dressing up or down. I love the contrast of ballet flats with oversized pieces like loose jeans, slouchy tailoring and structured blazers. They also look great with cropped trousers and a lightweight knit for something a little more classic.

Shop the Trend:

5. Derbys

Style Notes: Perhaps the most fitting alternative for white trainers is the flat shoe trend that resembles them most—derbys. The traditionally masculine shoe has been softened for a new age, making it a suitable counter for looks that are after a structured element, though aren't interested in the technical nature of sneakers. Wear with jeans and a silk scarf à la Celine's spring 2026 runway.

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, and there are plenty of ways to style clogs that I'm exploring. 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 vacation outfits. Allow me to prove it to you. Below, find eight outfits that fashion people styled this pair of shoes with.

Shop 8 Birkenstock Outfits I'm Going to Copy This Season:

Style Notes: Tailored waistcoats took over the wardrobes of the fashion crowd, and they're sticking around for summer 2025, too. Rachael's outfit is one I'm planning to copy and wear a lot this season, and Birkenstocks are the perfect finishing touch.

4. Midi Dress + Sleeveless Sweater

Style Notes: My favourite thing about midi dresses is that you can wear whatever shoes you'd like since the dress does most of the talking for the outfit. Adding a pair of Birkenstocks like Taffy has done gives it an off-duty vibe that I'm very much into these days.

Shop the look:

Style Notes: Do you work from home too?

Birkenstocks have always paired well with this ensemble for me. Marianne has this styling down to a science with her outfit.

Shop the look:

8. Blazer + Shorts

Style Notes: Birkenstock's Boston shoes are naturally on the casual side, so fashion people have been dressing their pairs up with blazers. This is a no-fail way from Lou to show people that you're not just wearing them—you're styling them.

If there's one sign of growing up, it's our changing priorities when it comes to footwear. During my uni days and early twenties, I'd buy sandals with abandon, taken by cool silhouettes and multiple straps and towering heels that I thought would mark the start of my Sex and the City era. Those days are over. Maybe it's because my days now involve multiple commutes, rushing between meetings or packing a bunch of errands into a narrow time slot. Or maybe I'm just wiser. Whatever the reason, this summer I'm committed to finding sandals that my feet and I will be more than happy to wear.

Don't be fooled—prioritising comfort no longer means having to give up on fashionable flats and heading to the orthopaedic footwear section. First, a number of brands that were once scorned for being "practical" are now admired as the originators of the coolest sandals—just look at Birkenstocks. Second, a number of newer brands are proving to be much more sympathetic to the wearer and are crafting their sleek silhouettes with wearability in mind. Australian minimalist brand St. Agni is just one example of a brand doing just that, meaning you can put on a pair of their barely-there sandals in the morning confident in the knowledge that they'll be just as comfortable by the end of the day. Whatever sandal you're after this summer, these are the brands I recommend checking out first.

SHOP THE COMFIEST SANDAL BRANDS:

1. Birkenstocks

Style Notes: Thanks to high fashion collaborations with the likes of Proenza Schouler and Rick Owens, the "ugly" sandals has well and truly become a fashion lover's must-have. In summer, it's the Arizona silhouette that really booms in popularity, providing a relaxed yet supportive silhouette that you can definitely wear all day long.

2. FitFlop

Style Notes: Thong sandals are a top style this season, particularly ones with chunky soles. Many brands may be jumping on the trend, by FitFlop is the true originator—and creates the most comfortable versions. Whatever you think of the brand, these sandals are guaranteed to get you nothing but compliments this season.

3. Everlane

Style Notes: Everlane has become a go-to for well-made, carefully considered essentials at high street pricing. In my opinion, their sandals are some of the best—easy, timeless and deliciously comfortable.

4. St. Agni

Style Notes: St. Agni is a favourite amongst influencers for breezy, minimalist styles that beautifully echo the brand's Australian roots. It's no surprise that those clever Aussies are experts at creating seriously stylish sandals that are also a delight to wear.

5. Marks & Spencer

Style Notes: What can I say, our mothers are right—M&S really does make the comfiest shoes. And with collaborations with the likes of Sienna Miller and ready-to-wear collections that seem to sell out in a matter of days, there's no denying their fashion kudos, either.

6. Sleepers

Style Notes: Influences like Brittany Bathgate have endorsed the Sleeper flip flops as the most comfortable they've worn. Luckily, they're also super sleek. Your holiday beach wardrobe is about to get a serious upgrade.

Yes, we love Sambas, we've praised the return of the ballet flat, and we can't deny the fun of the mesh trend. But I have to put it out there: Sandals are in a league of their own. Flatform, strappy, toe-ring or thong, these sunny-day shoes come in all shapes and sizes, each giving signs of summer. With anklets at the ready and pedicures complete, it's time to round off our looks with sandals, and fashion insiders agree, these three brands make the very best. 

With a dress or trousers, shorts or a skirt, there's nothing a sandal won't go with. They're elevated yet casual, office-ready and beach appropriate—truly, there's no time when a sandal won't do. And though sandal trends may come and go, none ever truly go out of style. So, whichever you choose, you're on to a winner. Each summer, brands show their appreciation for this particular shoe by designing a slew of options to tempt us into buying fresh pairs. And though this allows for plenty of choice, it can also be slightly overwhelming. Where to begin? Well, I've hunted down three brands that do the very best sandals; those worth having on your radar if you're in the market for a fresh pair.

First up, Massimo Dutti shares classic styles with a minimalist edge that you can hardly believe come from the high street. As for Birkenstock, we couldn't be more pleased about its recent revival, though for many, they never really went away. With socks or without, however you wear them you're sure to do so for a long, long time. And finally, we have Ancient Greek; taking inspiration from ageless silhouettes and modern trends, this brand strikes the perfect balance of understated yet impactful that is sure to have plenty of people asking, "Where did you get those?".

For weeks, if not months, I've been desperately searching for a pair of Birkenstock Boston clogs 1) in the colour way I want and 2) in my size, and I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one who is come up short. It's indisputable—flat shoes are having a moment right now and Birkenstock Bostons are arguably the most in-demand style of the season. Versatile and timeless, they've long had a place in the hearts of fashion people, who wear them with everything from simple jeans-and-t-shirt outfit pairings to breezy throw-on dresses. With their open back but closed toe, if you ask me, they're the perfect shoe to take you from the British summertime to the unpredictable winter days. But it seems like every time I look, the specific variations I'm after (the Tobacco tone in particular) are sold out everywhere. Tired of waiting, I decided it was time to consider some Birkenstock Boston dupes.

Beyond the sold out factor, while I would always advocate buying the original of any trending item, I have to acknowledge the fact that, sitting anywhere between £95 and £125, Birkenstock Bostons aren't affordable for everyone. The good news is, regardless of your budget, there are plenty of other flat suede clogs on the market, of which there are many elevated options in circulation.

My first stop on my mission to find Boston Birkenstock dupes was, of course, my high street favourites: M&S, Zara, New Look and Nobody's Child all came through with excellent lookalikes in a mix of Birkenstock-worthy tones. They all also ticked off the comfort boxes, and I could easily imagine wearing them all day long with no issue. With little higher on the budget, there are a few more options to consider, from the designer takes by the likes of Gucci to the Scandi-inspired styles by Toast (which happen to be my personal favourite.) During my try-ons, I also really rated the clogs that also tapped into other key trends, like Zara's leopard print version.

Whether you're looking for the closest lookalike or simply want to see other stylish options, I've assembled an edit of the best Birkenstock Boston dupes just for you.

Gigi Hadid's laid-back style and Birkenstocks go hand in hand, so it wasn't surprising to see her wearing them the other day in New York. They're the ultimate throw-on-and-go summer shoes (spoken by someone who does so nearly every day). But they're not the freshest shoes on the market, which is more than okay. That said, Hadid made them look fresh with her impeccable yet effortless outfit.

On a hot summer day (which is every August day in NYC), Hadid paired her brown suede Arizona Birkenstocks with loose ripped jeans, a swimsuit (!) from her collection with Frankies Bikinis, and an oversize raffia Prada bag. I don't know about you, but I fully plan on wearing baggy jeans, a swimsuit, and Birkenstocks this weekend, and I'll have Hadid to thank.

Not even fashion people can resist the lure of a comfortable shoe, which might help explain the industry's spring footwear obsession: Birkenstock Boston clogs. Yes, you read that right—clogs, and from none other than the original "dad sandal" brand, which is known for its humble contoured summer shoes. Would you believe me if I said every fashion person I know either owns or is scrambling to find a pair of these slip-on shoes right now? Because it's true.

When you think about it, though, it makes sense. In recent years, fashion has revelled in reclaiming "ugly" items and making them covetable—think track-soled boots and fisherman sandals—and Birkenstocks have played a huge part in that. They may not be "glamorous," but over time, the brand's simple sandals have become capsule classics in the most stylish wardrobes. Now, Birkenstock is stocked on luxury websites like Net-a-Porter and collaborated with brands like Manolo Blahnik, unexpected but oh-so brilliant.

Historically, the Arizona double strap sandals have been the iconic choice, but over the last few summers, the fashion set have embraced another comfort-first Birk style: The Boston clog. It's a slip-on, backless mule with a rounded toe and a buckle fastening that first launched in 1977, so you know it's already stood the test of time. Even I'll admit I was less than convinced when I saw early adopters like Lucy Williams and Monikh sporting this style a couple of years ago. But here I am, wearing my now very-much-beloved pair while I sit typing this. I've been won over by so many influencers wearing them with cool outfits (keep scrolling for more of those), and by how gosh-darn comfortable they are.

It turns out that these simple shoes perfectly capture the low-key, laid-back mood everyone is embracing this season, and now that there are Birkenstock's shearling clogs in the mix, they work just as well in the colder months as they do in the warmer ones. Right now I'd combine a shearling pair with some grey ribbed socks, loose-fit jeans, an oversized jumper and a warm coat. But I love that all you need to add to them is a ribbed vest and a good pair of jeans for the perfect summer 2024 look, which is exactly how I'll be planning on wearing mine next year. But they also go with dresses, wide-leg trousers, shorts and skirts, and they really come into their own when paired with casual outfits—on staycations, beach days, countryside wanderings or for running errands to the local farmers market. Keep scrolling to shop the shoes, and see some styling inspiration too.

We love nothing more than poring over Sienna Miller's impressive outfit archives whenever we could use a fresh dose of outfit inspiration, as her sheer sartorial versatility makes her so darn exciting to spotlight. While some celebrities wouldn't dream of stepping out unless they're entirely made-up and wearing the hottest new pieces, Miller's innate fashion sense is just as prevalent in her most casual everyday wares as it is when she's appearing on the red carpet. In fact, if it's even possible, we find her off-duty looks all the more appealing, as, generally speaking, they're easier for us to re-create.

So if you're suddenly searching for the ideal winter outfit to wear on repeat for the next few months, look no further than Sienna Miller, who was photographed in New York this week in the perfect cold-weather ensemble. Whether your weekend plans involve doing the school run, walking the dog or simply heading to the supermarket to stock up on supplies, Miller had made getting dressed so much simpler with her latest formula—a parka, tapered joggers and Birkenstocks. 

We know what you're thinking—the Queen of Boho in a parka jacket? It might not be the sort of thing that instantly springs to mind when discussing Sienna Miller but that's the beauty of Miller; you never know what she'll wear nexr. Pairing it with some classic beige joggers, a bright beanie hat, and some in-demand Birkenstock Boston clogs, she made this look a little bit unexpected but that makes us love it all the more. And even though she’s currently based in NYC, this casual look shows she really is a London girl at heart. Plus, it also serves as proof that even the most stylish celebs are still just as tethered to their comfy clothes as we are, which is a comfort in itself.

Fashion collaborations come in a variety of guises. Some result in an exciting fusion of design aesthetics while other designers probably should've just stuck to what they do best. Proenza Schouler and Birkenstock might not have been the most obvious of fashion bedfellows, but when these two brands dropped their first sandal collaboration in 2020, the fashion crowd couldn't get enough—and neither could I.

And, as it turns out, the now best-selling style isn't just a fashion-editor fave but a celebrity fave, too. And designer, presenter, and all-around-style icon Alexa Chung just wore them on holiday, firmly cementing the fashionable collab as an It shoe for the ages.

Complete with a printed shirt and denim mini, Alexa's look is a masterclass in off-duty holiday style and a look at just how versatile the elevated Birkenstock can be.

With all of Proenza's design know-how and the comfy, hard-wearing appeal of Birkenstock's iconic sandal, the collaboration first entered the market just as the "gorpcore" trend was hitting the big time. With their clean lines, pops of colour and comfortable fit, the sandals are a rare meeting of form and function. So it comes as no surprise that the sellout collection returned for 2022 and still looks as fresh as when it first dropped. 

"Birkenstocks have always had a special place in our lives and are one of the few things that the two of us have in common from our separate and completely different childhood experiences," explain Proenza Schouler's co-founders, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. "We each grew up wearing Birkenstocks, and as we went off to college in the '90s, they felt like such an iconic part of our wardrobes, but we really see them as timeless. We have such respect for the integrity of a pair of Birkenstocks. Our brands have a shared attention to quality and detail, so it made a lot of sense to join forces and create something that feels authentic and lasting.

"When we launched our last collection, it was right at the beginning of lockdown. Truthfully, we were a bit worried. Everything seemed to be falling apart when we were launching this really exciting project, but in the end, it was the perfect timing," they explain. "All people wanted to wear were Birkenstocks around the house with a pair of comfy socks, on their quick trips to the grocery store or on daily walks. The perfect quarantine shoe! And now, even though we are re-entering the world and socializing, we still wanted to keep that casual sensibility, that low-to-the-ground, comfortable, slip-on-and-go shoe. There's no fuss to it. For us, personally, we want to be comfortable but also want to feel polished with a bit of an elevated edge. The idea that you don't have to choose between those two states has been our biggest source of inspiration while designing."

I was lucky enough to road-test the latest collection, including new colours and the classic monochrome varieties that have proven popular with Chung. And yes, I can confirm that they are just as good as the first drop. They're comfortably cool and will look good with everything in your wardrobe. Scroll down to see and shop the sandals from the latest Birkenstock x Proenza Schouler collaboration.

Style Notes: If black and white isn't really your bag, then I recommend trying out this new rust hue, which will bring interest to your wardrobe staples. They look particularly good with jeans and a white tee, in my opinion.

Style Notes: There's a reason that the classic black sandal is coming back for the second collection. It's probably the most versatile style you can find. Wear with printed trousers, midi dresses, shorts and everything in between. Buy now, and wear forever.

Up Next, Autumn/Winter 2022 Trends: The Only Fashion Looks You Need to Know

Years ago, Birkenstocks were very much considered fashion outliers. But over the past few years, they've exploded in popularity. After some extensive googling, I can confidently say that it was back in 2018 when the ultimate "ugly" sandals truly became accepted in fashion circles, which meant Birkenstocks started appearing everywhere.

Of course, it's more than that. There have been cool, high-profile collaborations with fashion brands such as Proenza Schouler and Rick Owens that have also piqued the interest of insiders and shoppers alike. And during the pandemic, these shoes became the most sought-after in the world. Global fashion shopping platform Lyst even marked them as one of the most searched-for items in 2022.

Now, in 2025, the German brand has certifiably become a mainstay. These comfy shoes can be seen outside fashion shows and all over Instagram. While the classic two-strap sandals are a popular choice, there are also plenty of looks featuring the sell-out 'Boston' clog—perfect if you prefer a closed-toe. Birkenstock outfit ideas are pretty easy to come by, and they're also incredibly varied, which is great news if you're looking for slides that have longevity and versatility. Although the looks we've selected are all great, you'll no doubt find even more inspiration if you head to your own Insta feed. Trust me, they're everywhere. But for now, keep scrolling to see how to style Birkenstocks, the 2025 way.

12 Chic Birkenstock Outfits to Wear in 2025

1. White Blouse + Cargo Trousers

Style Notes: Nothing says summer like a floaty white blouse. As we head into the warmer months, style yours with equally breezy (and trendy) cargo pants. Then slip on your Birkenstocks and you're ready to go.

As a brand, Birkenstock is no stranger to designer collaborations. Over the years, the footwear label has partnered with the likes of Valentino, Rick Owens and more, to create special edition iterations of its instantly-recognizable sandals. 

Of course, this summer is no different as Birkenstock recently launched a collaboration collection in partnership with buzzy, New York-based brand Proenza Schouler. Taking Birkenstocks' signature two-strap silhouette, the designers added contrast top-stitching to the sandals and released the footwear in a range of colours including black, white, silver and yellow. 

Unsurprisingly, the item has already caught the attention of celebrities and influencers worldwide, as the shoe has been worn by Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller and more throughout the summer. 

When it comes to styling, several It-girls are opting for the Alexa look, by pairing the shoe alongside socks, while in warmer parts of the world, the footwear is being worn alongside swimsuit and linen shirts for beachside strolls. As the shoes have already sold out on a few websites, it's clear the Proenza Schouler x Birkenstock collaboration has been another success for the footwear label. Keep scrolling to see how a few fashionable women are styling the shoe and then shop the collaboration below.

Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know. 

I have always been a practical person when it comes to shoes. (Well, practical for a fashion editor anyway.) I tend to stick to styles that I don't have to think about. I can't stand those shoes that enjoy reminding you every five seconds of their existence by A) flying off your feet or B) rubbing your poor heels into oblivion. That is not to say I don't think about aesthetics, and so you can imagine my delight when the comfy hiking sandal was declared an object of fashion veneration in 2019.

Fast-forward 12 months, and we are all in a very different situation (to say the least). However, my penchant for practical shoes remains and has become somewhat useful in my new work setting. The average day includes mooching around the house, working on my laptop and sitting on the sofa, but I didn't want to be stuck in slippers 24/7. My solution? Birkenstocks. Yes, you've had a pair since you were 15, and they're not exactly a groundbreaking discovery, but all the same, let me inform any fellow Birkenstock virgins that I have literally not taken them off for the last four months. 

Clearly the rest of the world agrees because this month, Birkentocks were declared the "world's hottest shoes" by fashion data platform Lyst after searches for the sandals spiked 225% over the last quarter. The numbers don't lie. So, after much deliberation and research, I opted for the Arizona EVA iteration, which is slightly cheaper than the classic Arizona and made of the brand's signature EVA fabric, which looks like leather but feels like a softer form of flip-flop material (no need to wear them in, hurrah!). They cater perfectly to my WFH needs and truly go with every single outfit, from jumpsuits and jeans to midi dresses and slip skirts. Don't believe me? Just scroll down to see photographic proof, and shop my fave Birkenstock styles.

Style Notes: This is a fun look for the weekend, and my sandals offer the perfect foil for the white-on-white pairing. 

Style Notes: I wear this Arket jumpsuit constantly every summer. All it ever needs is a pair of casual sandals to set it off. 

Style Notes: This outfit is for when I'm in need of some feel-good fashion vibes. These Uterque trousers put a smile on my face, but my Birkenstocks keeps the look casual. 

Style Notes: There have been so many loose-fitting linen dresses around this summer. Due to their billowing silhouette, thin strappy sandals just don't cut it. Enter Birkenstock. 

Style Notes: Ok, I don't usually wear swimwear on a working day, but it was HOT. These beige Vince shorts are a great pairing for my chunky sandals. 

Style Notes: I find that my Birks are the perfect accompaniment to simple separates. This shirt-and-knitted-trousers combo is the ideal smart-casual Zoom attire. 

Style Notes: With its utility undertones, this Kitri jumpsuit needed something clean-lined to complement it. 

Style Notes: I wear some form of knitted trousers 90% of the time right now, and this archive Joseph pair is a good balance of comfy yet polished, as is my Hayley Menzies cardi.

Style Notes: Sunny days call for a pair of white jeans, Ninety Percent's tie-dye top and chunky sandals.

Style Notes: I'm in love with this simple summer dress from independent fashion brand Usisi Sister. My Birkenstocks keep the look low-key and WFH-ready.

Style Notes: This Vince co-ord is so dreamy. I love to change into this outfit after work but before bedtime. 

Style Notes: The best thing about my sandals is that they also go with smarter styles. When I'm in need of a pick-me-up, I'll throw on this smocked frock and ground them with my Arizonas.

Style Notes: I'll definitely be trying out this look for weekend brunch when life goes back to usual. The wide-leg silhouette of these Topshop jeans makes for a fab pairing with the sandal's chunky proportions.

Style Notes: These Lululemon trackies are another winner in my WFH capsule, and I'll wear them with everything from white tees and shirts to jumpers and tank tops. 

Style Notes: Black Birkenstocks harmonise nicely with tonal separates and add a down-to-earth finish to my whimsical collared shirt. 

Style Notes: Okay, this is as fancy as I get for social distancing. I wear this slip skirt all the time in "normal" life, and luckily it works for my new context too. Just add a cosy knit and comfy sandals.

Style Notes: This pair of dungarees is pretty old now, but it's still going strong. In the winter, I wear them with roll-necks and heeled boots, but for summer, they work equally well with sandals and T-shirts.

Next: Your Guide to the Key Trends for Spring/Summer 2020

Socks and sandals aren't really one of those combos you can quietly dip your toe into. You're either committing to it or you're not—you can't just wear it a bit like a sheer sleeve on a blouse or a touch of leopard print on a bag. It's quite the divisive dressing choice. I happen to wear this combination often, most frequently a pair of Alexa Chung x JuJu's Embellished Jelly sandals and a ribbed-knit sock, and my friends hate it because they say it looks "ugly" and like I've "just thrown on the first shoes at the front door." I have to insist that it really is fashion, despite the eye rolls I get in return.

Delve into the history of the look, and it turns out this combination is somewhat of a classic: Socks and sandals were first debuted by the Romans. That makes the trend something close to over 2000 years old. While dressing like a Roman doesn't sound too bad, the real negative connotations come from elsewhere. It's associated with dads and terribly dressed tourists and hikers. But the reality now is that all those previously mocked groups are being emulated on the runways, in street style and even by the A-list—but particularly when it comes to socks and sandals.

Given that Birkenstocks are having a moment (having fashionable collaborations with Manolo Blahnik and Proenza Schouler, as well as a sell-out style helps), the "ugly" sandal is the shoe of the summer, and adding socks makes sense to take it into autumn. 

The only question that remains is knowing how to do this without looking like it's something you unintentionally put on as you dashed out to Tescos. My own take is to clash your sandals with your socks as much as possible—whether that's pink socks with black chunky sandals or gold mesh socks with metallic Velcro sandals. Other fashion editors opt for a similar take on this: The more jarring the combination, the better, so as to prove this is a real style statement. To see what I mean, I suggest you keep scrolling to see how everyone from influencers to the street style circuit is wearing theirs. Then keep going to shop my favourite socks-and-sandals pairings.

How the Fashion Set Styles Socks and Sandals

Style Notes: It's true; a tie-dye sock and a rubber sandal shouldn't make sense, but somehow with a pink outfit, they just do. 

Style Notes: Helena proves that the trend can work with any sandal, including Fabrizio Viti's shearling-and-leather slides. 

Style Notes: Erica manages to tick off three trends in one outfit: the Breton knit, the wide-leg trouser and, of course, the socks-and-'stocks pairing. 

Style Notes: A guest attending London Fashion Week wears a pair of chunky black sandals with tonal pink-and-white tie-dye. 

Style Notes: Mauve socks and brown sandals is a chic combination, especially with a little heel. 

Style Notes: Make chunky white sandals stand out with a pair of black socks. It's the cool way to make a formal dress a little more casual. 

Style Notes: Perhaps my favourite way to do it, add a fine-knit sock to a strappy party sandal. Not only does it look good, but it will save your feet from aching too.

Up next, the biggest autumn/winter 2019 trends you need to know.

Seeing something all over Instagram often feels like a strong indication of a trend, but it's always good to check the facts too. When we predicted the sandals trends of 2019 back in the winter months, we had a feeling we'd be seeing a lot of sporty sandals (thanks, mostly, to our columnist Monikh), strappy heels, flip-flops and even a rise in Birkenstocks. Summer 2019 felt like it was going to be a summer of simplicity for our footwear, be it the barely-there beauties from Topshop or the return of an old classic or two.

But as the warmer months roll out, we've been curious to find out what people actually responded to and which trends are taking off. Instagram can feel like an echo chamber at times, and we wanted to confirm which sandals are actually popular so far this year. So we asked our friends at Lyst.com and the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to confirm our suspicions.

According to Lyst's data, "wedged," "gladiator" and "rubber sandals" are the most commonly searched-for sandal terms. Meanwhile, over the past year, traffic for "strappy sandals" on LIKEtoKNOW.it was up 132% and "sliders" were up 210%. But which exact styles are people looking for the most?

Next, the seven "boring" fashion trends we can't get enough of in 2019.

Like fine wine or elegant cheeses, it looks like Birkenstock sandals are only getting better with age. At 245 years old, these classic shoes are doing well—really well. The company has tripled its sales since 2012, which is no surprise considering we see its signature sandals consistently popping up on our Instagram feeds again this season. They've long shed the reputation of solely being associated with quirky hippie uncles. In a similar vein to Levi's jeans or Dr. Martens boots, Birkenstock sandals are beloved by all (definitely still including said uncles), and this means fashion people as well.

The Birkenstock revival among fashion people can largely be attributed to Phoebe Philo producing a similar sandal style for Céline during her tenure at the French house. Of course, the coolest of the cool—Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen—have been longtime Birk-wearers, but in a year when leading trends include all-beige outfits, it looks like more and more of us are leaning toward Birks for our summer sandals. With the Arizona style in the top spot, we're seeing these sandals paired with any kind of outfit, proving their versatility no matter your style.

Of course, the brand's recent collaborations with high-fashion brands Rick Owens and Valentino (see: Frances McDormand on the Oscars stage in a custom pair) has cemented their very cool status. These collections have their own cult followings and sell out fast but have definitely put Birkenstocks front and centre for fashion people. Keep scrolling to see and shop the best Birkenstock sandals you can invest in this year. They get better with age, so trust me when I say they'll last you a long time and will never go out of style…

ARIZONA SANDALS

Street style stars and influencers are loving the classic Arizona sandals right now. This includes everyone from minimalists like Brittany Bathgate to the Italian designer Gilda Ambrosio, who usually pushes the boundaries way OTT when it comes to her personal style.

SHOP ARIZONA SANDALS

BEACH SANDALS

The addition of the rubber, lightweight waterproof "beach sandals" have made Birkenstocks even more popular in recent years. In fact, they account for as much as 15% of the 25 million pairs of shoes the company made last year. Not only are they more affordable than the classics, but the monochromatic look also gives each pair a contemporary style update.

SHOP BEACH SANDALS

THONG SANDALS

Of course, the thong versions of Birkenstock sandals are also popular and even made for a chic wedding-guest footwear choice for one of my fave style people, Stella von Senger.

I'm a big fan of the clogs, and the white pair I bought last year has unexpectedly garnered me quite a few compliments. Inspired by the Gucci pair Instagram legend Raven Smith wears, I bought the original Birkenstock ones and wear them with anything from a skirt to jeans (weather permitting).

When it comes to finding practical basics, we're good at stockpiling the perfect white tees or jeans. However, when it comes to shoes, we could use a little more work. How tempting is it to spend money on a pair of zebra-print Manolo Blahniks rather than a pair of smart loafers? Living in London (where your feet take a battering from all the walking) and being a minimalist, I've come to appreciate the pairs I can rely on. I love shoes that go with just about anything. They don't need to be flashy; they just have to work. I'm talking about the kinds that make up the bones of your footwear wardrobe.

From Birkenstocks to strappy heels to the perfect Chelsea boots, there are certain styles that just feel like they've always been there for us. These are the ones you'll repeat-buy, repair and wear for years. Trends come and go, but these shoes are simple enough to always work—no matter your personal style.

They ain't no oil painting, but as the heat wave continues to scorch the capital, the fashion industry's favourite pair of orthopaedic-style sandals has well and truly taken off. The white Birkenstock fashion trend may come as a surprise to some, but we reckon that as the temperature gauge simmers around the 30-degree mark that the general public and celebs alike are kicking off their heels and looking for shoes that are kinder to their heat-swollen feet. Believe it or not, they're also not completely devoid of style (yes, really), and we think Birkenstocks offer our summer wardrobes a certain brand of Germanic minimalism, which can look quite cool with a floaty skirt or dress (in a similar way to wearing a dress with trainers). Best of all? These heat wave–ready sandals come in at a purse-friendly £60 and £20, depending on which version you purchase. You're welcome. Scroll down to shop the look.

If you were to look down at the feet of a slew of fashion girls over the last few years, you'd undoubtedly spot a pair (make that pairs) of Birkenstock sandals. In fact, the two-strap slingers were so popular that it seemed every time we featured them, they flew off the virtual shelves! Now there's a new—well, actually old—style of Birkenstocks ready to step up as the shoe silhouette of the season: the Boston clogs.

For her first day on the job at Instagram (yep, she's always been ahead of the crowd), Eva Chen posted this photo of herself wearing the #throwback kicks, with the caption "Okay, I know these shoes will be divisive… but they are coming back, resistance is futile! Don't try to fight it." We didn't then, and we won't now. We remember wearing this style in the '90s and are more than ready to test it out again—who can deny the sheer comfort of a Birkenstock, after all? The only issue: The shoes are selling out super fast.

Keep scrolling to see how Eva Chen styled hers, and shop a few Boston clogs that are still available below.

Call us crazy, but we list dressing like Mary-Kate and Ashley as a life goal up there with getting in shape and travelling the world.
