How to Wear Birkenstocks like a Supermodel
Real Barbies wear Birkenstocks. The iconic German sandals known for their comfort and timeless design have become a fashion staple in recent years. Once reserved for laid-back beach days, these sandals have now earned a spot in the wardrobes of fashionistas and supermodels alike.
Birkenstock is also planning a September IPO at an $8 Billion valuation, so you can rest easy knowing your shoe investment will go the distance. Unlike most designer shoes that end up in the back of your closet, this anti-chic footwear is here for the long haul.
Whether you're going for a monochromatic look or pairing them with dungarees and a silk scarf, here's how to effortlessly rock Birkenstocks like a supermodel and elevate your style to new heights.
Monochromatic outfits exude elegance and sophistication while effortlessly flattering all body types. To pair Birkenstocks with monochromatic ensembles, opt for a single color palette from head to toe. For example, a classic all-white outfit can create a fresh and clean look that is both chic and stylish. Combine white Birkenstocks with white cropped tailored trousers and a cropped crisp white button-down shirt for an elegant monochromatic outfit perfect for brunch or a casual day at the office.
While sticking to one color family, explore different shades and tonalities to add depth and interest to your ensemble. Pair black Birkenstocks with a black day dress, for a sophisticated yet paired-down daytime look. Tonal dressing is a subtle yet powerful way to make a statement and draw attention to the details of your outfit.
For a more casual and playful approach to Birkenstock styling, pair the brand's clogs with dungarees (also known as overalls) and a simple but well-fitting simple white tank. Choose a pair of slim-fit or wide-leg dungarees in a flattering denim wash. Add a touch of elegance by tying a luxurious silk scarf around your head creating a focal point for your outfit. This looks works especially well if you're out in the country or on a ranch. All you need to take this to the next level are some tacos and a beer.
Consider keeping your bag in the same colorway as the rest of your outfit, and stick to a chic but casual shape. Avoid metal details or unnecessary embellishments, which don't jive with the whole minimalist Birkenstock vibe.
Confidence is the Ultimate Accessory
The most crucial element to pulling off any outfit, Birkenstocks included, is confidence. Embrace your style and wear what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. Supermodels exude confidence, and by embracing your uniqueness, you'll exude that supermodel charm too.
Birkenstocks have evolved from humble beach footwear to a must-have accessory for fashion-forward individuals. With the right approach, you can seamlessly integrate Birkenstocks into your wardrobe. Remember, fashion is about expressing yourself and feeling fabulous in what you wear, so have fun experimenting with different styles, and why not make Birkenstocks your go-to footwear for an effortlessly stylish look, night or day?

BAPE Sneakers in the Spotlight BAPE sneakers naturally tap into multiple current zeitgeist moments and it’s got them feeling fresher than ever BAPE’s long cultural history is undeniable, but after a lull in popularity, signs of the brand returning to the spotlight are becoming more and more noticeable. Take the Houston Rockets’s Jalen Green , who is regularly adorned by the label’s signatures, or the star-studded New York presentation in June—it feels like the Japanese label is hitting its stride again. It tracks though: BAPE’s maximalist camos and playful graphics in bold colorways fit squarely with the Y2K aesthetic, which is still dominating contemporary style.
