Love them or hate them, clogs seem to be here to stay–at least for the summer. Â This surprising trend has been brought into the limelight for summer 2010 by designers such as Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel and Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton. Â They’ve gotten so prevalent, in fact, that many fashion experts are have started to refer to them as “Summer’s Uggs.” Â And it makes sense: clogs are casual, go with everything, and are easy to slip on and go.
Traditionally, clogs were made entirely of wood and were worn primarily as work shoes. Â Today’s clogs are only wooden in the sole, so they’re much lighter, the uppers are made of anything from cloth to leather, and the clogs are often embellished. Â And of course, unlike olden-day clogs, modern ones are equipped with ever-fashionable sky-high heels. Â This summer, clogs are being worn with everything from casual leggings to just-off-the-runway fashions.
As is always the case with new fashions, celebrities have been the first to start making the clog trend wearable. Â They’re not mainstream yet, but they’re on their way, so pick up some clogs now and be on top of the biggest shoe trend of the summer. Â Below are celebs Rachel Bilson and Jessica Alba rocking their clogs.
