by Lauren Eggertsen

We’re going to assume that showing up to the office wearing a pair of clogs is just not in the cards. But considering the throwback style is currently having a (major) moment, we think it’s a good time to tackle this tricky trend—like a fashion girl, of course. For proof that it’s possible to pull off these wooden wonders without looking like a milkmaid, take a peek at this polished ensemble, which makes us want a pair of clogs immediately (shocker). Teamed with a few key wardrobe essentials you may already own, you’ll breathe new life into this old-school shoe. Problem solved.

Wooden Clogs

Topshop Mule Clogs, $90

Opt for a classic pair looks just as chic with skirts and dresses as they do with boyfriend jeans.

Cashmere Tee

J. Crew Cashmere Tee, $148

Reach for a neutral staple to help soften the blow if you're building an outfit around an unconventional item.

Patterned Skirt

Oscar de la Renta Pencil Skirt, $990

Add polish to your clogs by wearing them with a sleek pencil skirt.

Delicate Bangle

Baublebar Gold Cuff, $32

Refrain from drowning out your fun new shoes with a loud bauble. If you crave a little bling, reach for a barely there bangle instead.

Day-To-Night Clutch

Give throwback soles a modern update by pairing them with a statement-making clutch.
