This post will show you how to wear Birkenstocks with six stylish outfit ideas.
I’m all for fashion trends that are comfortable and effortless, so Birkenstocks being back “in” is a win in my book!
Then again, you could say that Birkenstocks never left. The brand’s roots trace back to the year 1774! Most recently, though, the Birkenstock’s popularity has been rising after getting a stamp of approval from fashionistas and celebs like Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, Vanessa Hudgens, and others.
It’s not just the brand’s sandals that are getting attention, either; Birkenstock’s Boston clogs will be among the hottest trends this upcoming fall season.
And if you need more convincing that Birkenstocks are fashionable, look at the brand’s designer collaborations. They’ve released sought-after shoe collabs with top fashion labels like Proenza Schouler, Staud, and Rick Owens.
All Birkenstock shoes feature a signature molded footbed that will contour to your foot for a comfy, supportive fit. They may need a bit of breaking-in, but it’s worth it! Above all, there’s no denying the pure ease of slipping on a pair of Birks and being ultra-comfortable all day.
But if you think you must sacrifice your style for comfort, think again. I’ve come up with stylish Birkenstock outfit ideas that include six different kinds of Birkenstock shoes. Read on for the ultimate guide to how to wear Birkenstocks.
First up, and perhaps the most classic Birkenstock style of all, the Arizona soft footbed sandals are the epitome of comfort and ease. With a two-strap design and soft molded footbed, these slide sandals are as effortless and laid-back as it gets.
Wondering how to wear Birkenstock Arizonas? Since they have an earthy feel, you can’t go wrong by styling them with boho-inspired items like this flowy white crinkle material crop top and some distressed high-rise denim shorts.
This outfit is ideal for the summertime; just add a layered gold pendant necklace and some retro aviator sunglasses.
2. Birkenstock Gizeh Big Buckle Sandals with a Dress
Birkenstock’s line of “Big Buckle” sandals have a more upscale, polished look, making them perfect for pairing with dresses and skirts and casual clothing.
The Gizeh Big Buckle thong sandals feature (as their name suggests) an oversized buckle detail in shiny gold against the cognac leather upper. These also come in black leather with a silver buckle.
For a sweet, summery look, wear the Gizeh Big Buckle sandals with a linen-look white mini dress with feminine details like puff sleeves and a double-tie fastening at the bust. The Birkenstock sandals give it a more casual feel, making it wearable for a picnic, brunch, or walking around the city.
Accessorize with some chunky gold hoop earrings and a wicker basket bag; this one has a removable crossbody strap with brown and gold elements to match the sandals.
3. Birkenstock Boston Clogs with Jeans and a Cardi
Yup, clogs are back! The Birkenstock Boston clogs have become increasingly popular amongst fashion influencers and celebs (Kendall Jenner‘s a fan of them) and will be a major trend this upcoming fall.
These suede clogs feature Birkenstock’s signature molded footbed for comfort and an adjustable buckle strap. You can wear them with or without socks, which means you can pretty much wear them all year round, making them a worthwhile investment.
When it comes to how to wear Birkenstock Boston clogs, relaxed styling is the key.
Try this easy outfit combination for the fall: the Boston clogs, some relaxed jeans, and a cute cardigan sweater. The rib-knit cardigan can be worn on its own or over a top and comes in three other colors. Wear it with some ripped, relaxed-fitting jeans and a cute pair of earrings, like these flower-shaped pearl huggie hoops.
4. Birkenstock Arizona Essentials Rubber Sandals with a Bikini
I’m a HUGE fan of Birkenstock’s Arizona Essentials sandals, a.k.a. the brand’s rubber slides. They are a total must-have for the summer since they’re waterproof, ultra-lightweight, comfortable, and come in various colors. They are also the most affordable shoes on this list, which is why I own multiple pairs!
They’re perfect for a day spent at the beach or the pool, so pair them with your swimwear and a cover-up for a practical yet stylish look. This white button-down shirt and matching shorts set is airy and makes for a fabulous cover-up over a triangle bikini like this green, smocked bathing suit.
Don’t forget some oversized sunnies and a tote bag to complete the breezy, beachy ensemble.
The Birkenstock Mayari sandals feature the brand’s legendary footbed paired with thinner straps for a sleeker look compared to the classic Arizona sandals. These sandals pair well with everything from dresses and skirts to denim.
For a cute, casual outfit, try styling them with some cord overalls (pro tip: size up for a more relaxed fit). These khaki green overalls will look adorable with a simple white cropped t-shirt worn underneath and some metal hexagonal sunnies.
Bring the outfit together with a printed tote bag to carry all your necessities in style, like with this green and purple floral print tote that matches the overalls. It can even fit textbooks and notebooks, so you could totally wear this look on campus.
6. Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Sandals with Pants and a Crop Top
If you’re looking for a pair of chic, upscale sandals, try the Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle sandals in high-shine black leather with oversized gold buckles. The patent-looking black and gold combo is far from “granola” (not that there’s anything wrong with that look!), and they have an elevated feel that works with dressier clothing items.
Style them with a crop tank top and some loose, relaxed-fit pants like this black pull-on pair made from a linen and cotton blend for a lightweight feel. Match your tank to this woven faux leather handbag that is a dupe for the iconic Bottega Veneta Jodie bag in the same shade of green.
Play up the sandal’s shiny gold buckle details by accessorizing with gold jewelry such as a goldherringbone chain necklace and chunky gold rings.
Completethe ensemble with trendy rectangular sunglasses and put your hair in a claw clip for a model-off-duty vibe.

Beyoncé gave one fan an experience he’d never forget when she threw him the sunglasses off her face during her “Renaissance” World Tour concert in London. In a now-viral TikTok video, fans captured the exact moment she removed her Off-White sunglasses, which she paired with a red-sequined Off-White bodysuit and thigh-high boots, and threw them into the crowd — but only after pausing to check the brand, of course. The recipient? A TikTok user who goes by the name Global Valentino, aka Valentino Rodrigues.
“Best experience ever, this meant so much!”
“I’m 1 of 1,” Valentino captioned the video. “Me and @khal caught the glasses!! best experience ever, this meant so much!” The joy of catching one of the Grammy-winner’s personal accessories, however, was short-lived as security promptly came over and snatched the sunglasses back. As his friends tried to keep the glasses safe, the guards mouthed, “Stop! Stop!” and ultimately ended up walking away with the sunglasses.
Later in the evening, Beyoncé returned wearing a custom Loewe bodysuit in gold and smiled as she returned the sunglasses to Rodrigues. “No, seriously, I’m still in shock ’cause what the hell?” he told his TikTok followers in a video after the show. After sharing a glimpse of the sunglasses up close, Valentino explained that a piece had fallen off the side immediately after the show. Once they were fixed, he happily tried them on. “OK, so I’m never wearing these again, guys, but they fit,” he said in a follow-up video. Since the concert, Rodrigues has also updated his TikTok bio to read, “BEYONCÉ GAVE ME HER SHADES.”
In an interview with The Daily Dot, he added that the show was the “best night of my life.” The experience was made all the more special by the fact that the glasses were inscribed with the numbers 4-2.3 — likely an optometric measurement — because his birthday happens to be April 23, a noteworthy coincidence.
Though security tried to confiscate the glasses, Rodrigues didn’t let the moment spoil his experience, and he’s glad he was able to hang onto a memento from the unforgettable show. “I don’t know about you guys but I can’t see the haters,” he said with a laugh as he put on the glasses.

As far as skirt trends go, this past year has undoubtedly been the year of maxi hemlines and micro minis. Midi skirts haven’t ever been “out,” but I did put them on the back burner momentarily. There’s always been a place for classic slip midis, but the more trend-forward and creative elements were always applied to the mini and maxi styles. However, as I took a deep dive into the latest market for summer, I was surprised to see a large variety of updated and elevated midi skirts. Think cargo styles, airy linen options, and colorful wrap skirts.
For 2023, any skirt length goes, but these midi options will have you impressed. I’ve gathered a diverse selection of skirts, whether you’re into having an ultra-colorful summer or much prefer a more pared-back aesthetic this season. The best part about these skirts? You may be buying them for the summer, but I can assure you of their year-round versatility. Simply take them into the fall easily with tall boots and an oversize sweater. Keep scrolling to see and shop the best skirts on the market that haven’t sold out yet.
Ahead of her Midnights deluxe album drop, Taylor Swift announced she would be working with everyone’s fav red-haired femcee Ice Spice. A collaboration that immediately sparked social media chatter. The announcement of the unexpected link-up comes after sparked rumors of Swift reuniting with former flame and The 1975 frontman, Matt Healy. Healy had some questionable things to say about Spice during his time on The Adam Friedland Show podcast in February but has since apologized.
Last week, Taylor Swift dropped the visuals for her cautionary tale anthem, Karma. A dreamy video is heavy in astrological symbolism, campy storytelling, and Ice Spice!
However, the visuals aren’t the only place we see this duo. During Swift’s Eras tour stop in New Jersey, Ice Spice made a guest appearance. She shined on stage, and not just because she delivered a great performance, her custom crystal look by Theophilio twinkled under the spotlights.

Spice slayed the stage in a black mesh catsuit adorned with black ostrich feathers on the arms and legs with a crystal-covered cut-out bodysuit, and, of course, ice in the form of a diamond Cuban link chocker. With her signature red curls coiled to perfection, the look did eat, bon appétit!
