There’s no denying that here at ELLE, we love fashion—we’re a fashion magazine, after all. And we have a lot to say about it. From our favorite leather jackets of the season to the most comfortable pairs of high heels, we’re almost always talking shop(ping).
Lately, though, we’ve been discussing one thing and one thing only: the best clogs. Not to be confused with mules or slip-on loafers, clogs are a little chunkier and a little funkier (like the oft-polarizing Crocs). Of course, there are also some minimalist-friendly styles like the tried-and-true Birkenstock clogs, which have been having a major moment on the streets and in our closets.
After returning to the runway in full force last fall, they’ve remained a top shoe trend for spring 2023. From classic wooden clogs to modern rubber mules, sandals, and ankle boots, we’ve got all the season’s best styles below.
We have an actual, serious obsession with Simon Miller’s Bubble Clogs. And we’re not alone. Choose your platform-soled fighter, from a litany of colors, materials, and designs, ranging from pastel patent leather to printed pony hair.
