3 Surprisingly Chic Ways to Wear Birkenstocks

We definitely didn’t see it coming, but it’s no secret that Birkenstocks are a major trend right now. This ugly-pretty footwear favorite has had fashion girls everywhere trading out their stilettos for the comfy sandal. While we’re loving this trend, we’ll admit that Birks can be a little tricky to pull off. Below, check the looks we’ll be wearing with our Birkenstocks all summer long!

1. Denim on denim

If denim on denim has been your go-to “I have nothing to wear” look for awhile now, you’re in luck—it pairs perfectly with Birkenstocks! For a slouchy, casual look, try a chambray shirt tucked into ripped boyfriend jeans. Add some polish with a statement necklace and an oversize snake print tote!

2. The bodycon dress

Think a bodycon dress only works with heels? Think again! With an oversize casual utility jacket over top to dress it down, it looks super chic with your Birks. Tote your essentials in fashion’s current favorite bag shape, the bucket, and accessorize with a simple gold choker.

3. Floaty top

An off-the-shoulder top lends the perfect floaty, bohemian touch to the chunky look of Birkenstocks, making them the perfect pairing! Add some color to the outfit with fun printed shorts. A clutch is the perfect unexpected that totally works. Keep your jewelry simple and dainty with gold chevron earrings that provide just the right amount of sparkle!

Will you be rocking a pair of Birkenstocks this summer, collegiettes?
