Trend Alert: Clogs are clogging back!

June 16 | Posted by Lira | Shoes Tags: , , , , , , , ,

I must admit, I was a big fan of the clogs back in the 90′s. No matter how uncomfortable they looked, they were quite the in thing to wear with women in those days. And those days, ladies, are actually back…thanks to Karl Lagerfeld and a host of fashion brands who had models sashaying in these chunky shoes at recent fashion runway spectacles.

In the world of shoes, clogs are supposedly considered the “mullet”. Not everyone can wear it, but those who do, must be able to carry the look in the hippiest way. The shoe’s design is odd but supposedly fashionable.

And this time around, the shoes are so much more stylish.
