I got to write about this a few weeks back (linked above for your convenience) but 2024 is the year of the clog. In some senses, there’s a chefcore style that’s becoming more prominent partly due to The Bear & Jeremy Allen White. But I also think post Covid people have become more outdoorsy; we’ve seen so many brands come up that are making trail sneakers and sandals. The casual transition out of that is gardening clogs. I own two pairs, these Seavees & the ALD ones, both are great “I’m running out the door and need something quick“ options. The rubber makes them easily wearable in the rain and easily cleanable through gunk & mud. I think paired with looser pants and nice socks you have a recipe to look…and I hate to say it…TRENDY. Go buy a pair. Or two. Or six.
I got to write a newsletter about this a few weeks ago! Personally, my Seabees Bodega clogs have been my go-to to get out the door quick. They are slim profile in the toe box and look nice with pants that drape over. I think the Camper Traktori are so exciting, albeit a little bit strange looking. You will look like you know something no one else knows as you wear them though, and that’s priceless. The recycled hemp clogs are probably the best mix of interesting looks / affordability. Truly can’t go wrong with them and they seem to be alllllllll overrrrrrrr Tik Tok now. Hope this helps! I added the link in bio for some whimsical reading + more details.
