Not Trainers, Not Sandals—Many Celebrities Are Embracing This 'Ugly' Shoe Trend Paired With Skirts.
As we advance deeper into May and the anticipation of summer begins to feel more tangible, I have been observing the shoe trends that the celebrity style icons are embracing first. While sleek kitten heels and minimalist flip-flops are already gaining traction among fashion enthusiasts, I find they are being worn less frequently than I expected. Instead, bulkier clogs are appearing on some of the most stylish celebrities currently.
The trend caught my attention when I noticed Emily Ratajkowski stepping out this week in light beige clogs, paired with a knee-length pencil skirt. Paired with one of the season's standout skirt trends, her casual shoe choice added an effortless vibe to her look. She complemented the outfit with a slim leather jacket and minimal accessories, lending a relaxed, undone feel to her appearance.
Similarly, Zoë Kravitz was seen wearing the same slipper-like style this week. Staying true to her signature minimalist style, she matched hers with flowing black trousers and a long black trench coat. Less delicate than ballet flats but more polished than trainers, clogs occupy the perfect middle ground, maintaining an easy charm suitable for everyday wear. Although they may have previously been regarded as somewhat 'ugly,' they are poised to become a favorite this season. Continue reading to shop the trendiest pairs below.
