Harem pants. Rompers. Shorts for evening. There are some styles I’ve come to love that, I must admit, I raised an eyebrow to at first glance. Since clogs took center stage at Chanel’s infamous spring 2010 barnyard show and mules marched down Alexander Wang’s spring runway, my (and much of the fashion blogosphere’s) initial resistance to these trends is starting to fade after seeing how wearable they can be.
Though styled on the Chanel runway with ruffles and ribbons, a hay-strewn floor, and a rugged Baptiste Giabiconi, with the right styling it’s easy to wear clogs without looking like you’re fresh off the farm. Take your cues from Chanel’s silhouettes and pair them with a mini dress or a blouse and skirt, or reference the show’s color palette with lots of white, nudes, and petal pinks. But perhaps the most effortless way to wear this trend is to try clogs with a bohemian dress, like a print Anna Sui dress or a floaty confection by Beyond Vintage.
As for mules, they’ve gotten a bit wild this season despite their prudish reputation. If you’re hesitant about the closed toe, try something with a peep toe and unique details. Camilla Skovgaard accents mules with her signature zigzag lug sole, and Alexander Wang updates his with pointed vamps, leopard prints, and mirrored heels. Far from dowdy, these styles have enough sex appeal for a night-out ensemble.
