The reemergence of clogs has been one of the most unexpected comfort-core comebacks. With people incorporating comfort into everyday street style, what most might've considered a house shoe has now become a serious fashion statement. From Crocs decked out in Jibbitz to the return of the iconic Birkenstock Bostons and luxe shearling-lined ones from brands like UGG, No. 6, and Chloé for the colder seasons, clogs are proof that comfort and style can coexist. 

So, drop the tired shoe trends that are aging you and get yourself a pair of clogs that will be perfect for fall and winter. Not sure where to begin? Consider the occasion you'd like clogs for. For instance, unless you live in Hawaii, you're going to want clogs that keep your feet warm, so consider shearling-lined ones like the Tasman II Slippers from UGG, or if you feel like splurging, take a look at Stuart Weitzman's Shearling-Lined Suede Mules. If your biggest worry is your feet constantly slipping out, then the Dr. Martens Jorge II mules may be just what you need.

No matter your style and occasion, styling clogs doesn't have to be complicated. There are endless ways to style them without looking lazy or like you just got out of bed.

If you want to wear your clogs for a casual day out, try styling them with an oversized sweater layered over a maxi dress or skirt. This pairing feels cozy, yet still very much put together, and serves as the perfect casual cold-weather look. Go for neutral tones to keep it chic, and don't forget some socks, preferably crew style, which will really make the look cozy. If you want to add a touch of color, then reach for accessories like a scarf or hat for the perfect balance of intentional coziness. 

If you want another great option for a comfy-meets-cool kind of day, stick to a single color palette; it'll instantly polish your look. Pair your clogs with leggings, a soft, slightly oversized sweatshirt, and a jacket for extra warmth, all in the same tone. For fall and winter, opt for rich browns, beiges, or even muted olives for an easy outfit that's undeniably chic. To spice things up a bit, white socks will add some contrast and break up the color so it doesn't feel too uniform, giving your outfit a relaxed, intentional touch. 

If you love wearing bike shorts year-round, reach for a look that will easily let you carry them into fall. Pair them with an oversized graphic sweatshirt, and layer on a fleece or quilted vest for extra warmth. Finish the look with your favorite clogs and a pair of cozy socks, maybe even try scrunchie-style socks like the BomKinta Slouch Socks for that extra laid-back flair. This ensemble will have you ready for anything from a morning coffee run to a casual lunch with friends. 

If you didn't know already, yes, you can definitely wear clogs with more polished pieces. They're not just for comfy and cozy looks and can easily be dressed up for an evening out. Try pairing your clogs with your favorite trench coat and structured denim for a look that's effortless, but also refined. The clean lines of the coat balance the overly relaxed vibe of the clogs. Of course, you'll want to stick to neutral tones such as camel or black, from your coat to your clogs, for a cohesive overall look. 

Clogs work with countless outfits, and utilitarian styles are one of the best ways to wear them. Grab your favorite clogs and throw on your favorite parachute or cargo pants. Any oversized jacket, such as denim or even a knit bomber, would work perfectly to bring out an outfit that feels effortlessly modern. Have platform clogs? They're an even better option for styling with baggy looks, as they help elongate legs and balance out proportions. Add some chic sunglasses, statement earrings, or even a bold statement bag to finish off the look. 

Boho dresses and clogs are a match made in heaven. The flowy silhouette of a chic boho dress might pair perfectly with boots, but if you want to stand out in a crowd, then you're going to want to try platform clogs. It can give the flowy look some balance and just the right amount of edge. If you want to give this style a try, look for wooden or neutral-toned clogs to stay true to the boho feel, and add touches of fun gold jewelry for a warm, free-spirited look. Just make sure to avoid outdated jewelry trends.

If you happen to have dressier clogs in leather, then you should put together a structured outfit to match. Opt for straight-leg jeans and a fitted or slightly relaxed sweater layered with a white t-shirt and a lengthy coat. It's an ensemble that feels smart but still very much approachable. The smooth leather finish of the clogs will instantly add sophistication, but the relaxed silhouette will help keep things casual and grounded. This is another outfit where you'll want to stick to a neutral palette so everything feels cohesive.

You're probably getting the gist, but platform clogs are a must if you want to wear them with dressier outfits. Not only do platforms add more height, but they also give more structure. They pair perfectly with romantic pieces like a sheer skirt or even a flowy midi dress, which you can balance out with a tailored blazer. It's the kind of outfit that you can confidently wear to the office and then straight to date night, blending feminine elegance with everyday practicality and modern refinement. 

If you love Crocs and have been wondering how to style them to be a bit more stylish for the streets, try something fun like the Classic Platform Fuzz-Lined Clogs. Be prepared, as they are quite bold and stand out a lot more than other clogs. But that also may be their best trait. It's the perfect kind of shoe for trying something you usually wouldn't. Pair them with wide-leg jeans or cargo pants and a cropped puffer or an oversized cardigan for a seriously on-trend look. Add all kinds of charms that reflect your personality, and finish the look with a cute textured mini bag and sunglasses for a playful, street-style ready ensemble.
