Summer Style

Embrace a little creativity in your summer wardrobe by pairing some tartan clogs with an ombre maxi dress, modern sunglasses, silver jewelry, and a classic shoulder bag.

Everyday Sophistication

Putting together a stylish clogs ensemble doesn’t have to take too much time. Start with a neutral studded style, then add an oversized button-down shirt, your favorite jeans, and some statement accessories (red handbags are always a good idea) for a look that works for the office and weekends alike.

Dressed Down

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t need to sacrifice comfort for style. Pair some classic beige clogs (Birkenstocks are a great choice) with white wide leg jeans and a beige cropped trench coat.

Business Casual

Ditch your traditional heels in favor of something more functional—albeit just as chic—such as these white platform clogs. Style them with a polished blazer and a pair of wide-leg dress pants.

Denim Dreams

Do you dig denim on denim as much as we do? If the answer is yes, consider these platform clogs from Farm Rio, which take the trend to a whole new level when paired with a denim mini dress, jean jacket, and some statement accessories.

Vacay Vibes

If you're looking for a particularly summery way to style clogs, try pairing them with socks, tailored shorts, a breezy shirt, a bucket bag, and your favorite sunnies. Keep it all in a light color scheme to stay cool and look put-together.

A Bit of Edge

Feeling extra bold? Pair some ultra-high black platform clogs with lace socks, then complete the look with airy, avant-garde separates in a coordinated neutral color scheme.

Pop of Red

Red shoes are continuing their reign, so lean into the ongoing phenomenon by finding some fiery clogs and wearing them with matching tights. A black slip dress, a leopard print coat, and a slouchy bag complete the look for an effortless way to combine some of today's biggest trends.

Party PJs

For days when you want to be the life of the party while feeling incredibly comfortable, pair some statement floral clogs with a feather-trimmed pajama set. Together with a scarf top, a structured handbag, and sunglasses, the above look feels decidedly elevated, even if you barely rolled out of bed.
