Step aside, jelly shoes—I forecast that *this* chunky shoe trend will be all the rage this fall.

      (Image credit: Raimonda Kulikauskiene/Getty Images; Gotham/Getty Images; Splash by Shutterstock) It appears that we can't avoid unattractive shoes. First, it was PVC sandals, and now it’s chunky clogs. Once regarded as dull and out of fashion, this rustic style is making a resurgence as Gen Z embraces boho chic. The nostalgia trend among my generation isn’t a recent phenomenon; it began with the '90s minimalism and Y2K grunge, and we've now arrived at the 2010s. Fashion tends to repeat itself, so it was inevitable that these wooden, leather-touched styles would return to prominence. As archival Chloé and vintage Isabel Marant fill my For You Page, I've set out to discover the chicest, chunkiest, and clunkiest pairs available. While a part of me worries this signals the return of skinny jeans in a couple of trend cycles, I’m choosing to overlook that and instead celebrate the playful textures, metallic details, and carefree silhouettes of this shoe trend. I've explored every sub-trend within the clog category, from smooth suede slip-ons (like the Birkenstock Boston Clogs and Ugg Elea Slip-Ons) to sleek wooden soles with refined leather uppers (notably, the Chloé Jeannette Shoes). In my opinion, these bohemian gems truly shine when styled with flowing shapes, lace trim details, suede jackets, and denim elements. Scroll down to shop the shoe trend that I forecast will take over the sidewalks this fall and check out the amazing styling inspiration from Iris Law, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and others.
