The Shoe of the Season: Why Clogs Are Everywhere


Comfortable, versatile and easier to style than ever, clogs have firmly established themselves as one of the footwear trends of the season. Once seen mainly as a practical shoe, the modern clog has become a wardrobe essential, appearing everywhere from relaxed weekend outfits to more considered everyday looks.

The appeal is simple: they offer comfort without compromising on style. At Parkinson's Lifestyle, brands including Birkenstock and UGG are proving exactly why this easy-going footwear trend is here to stay.

 

The Icons: Birkenstock Boston & Naples

Few clogs are as instantly recognisable as the Birkenstock Boston. Its simple closed-toe silhouette, adjustable buckle and classic Birkenstock styling have made it a favourite year after year. Easy to wear with jeans, trousers, knitwear and casual layers, the Boston is one of those styles that works across the seasons.

The Birkenstock Naples offers a slightly different take on the clog. With its moccasin-inspired shape and relaxed character, it brings a more distinctive look to the trend. Available in materials including leather and suede, it is an easy option for those who want the comfort of a clog with a slightly more refined feel.

Both styles demonstrate why Birkenstock remains at the centre of the clog trend: practical, comfortable and instantly recognisable.

 

A Softer Take: UGG Goldenstar Evelina

For a more feminine approach, the UGG Goldenstar Evelina brings the brand's signature comfort to one of the season's biggest footwear styles. The soft suede upper gives it a relaxed, premium feel, while the adjustable heel strap adds versatility to the design.

Wear the strap around the heel for a more secure fit, or fold it forward for an easy slip-on style. The cushioned, sheepskin-lined footbed brings that familiar UGG comfort, making the Goldenstar Evelina a great choice for everyday wear.

In Burnt Cedar, it also offers a warm, versatile shade that works beautifully with natural tones and autumn-ready layers.

 

How to Style Clogs This Season

One of the best things about clogs is just how easily they fit into an existing wardrobe. For a relaxed countryside-inspired look, try pairing your favourite clog style with straight or wide-leg trousers, a soft knit and a classic Barbour jacket.

For a more elevated women's outfit, the UGG Evelina Goldenstar in Burnt Cedar works particularly well with the BARBOUR Fern Trousers in Jasmine and the BARBOUR Womens Sophia Knit in Vicuna. Add the FAIRFAX & FAVOR Micro Windsor Cross Body in Stone Leather to complete the look. The mix of warm neutrals, soft textures and earthy tones creates an effortless outfit that feels both current and timeless.

The key is to let the footwear set the relaxed tone. Keep the rest of the outfit simple, comfortable and layered, and clogs become an easy finishing touch rather than the focus of an overly styled look.

 

Why Are Clogs the Shoe of the Season?

Clogs perfectly suit the way we want to dress now: comfortably, practically and without sacrificing style. They work with jeans, tailored trousers, skirts and dresses, while closed-toe styles can continue to be worn well beyond the summer months.

From the iconic Birkenstock Boston to the distinctive Naples and the softer UGG Goldenstar Evelina, there is a clog to suit different wardrobes and personal styles.
