Click-clack, click-clack—can you hear it? The unmistakable sound of clogs is making a comeback. Following a brief reintroduction last year, courtesy of Chloé and Miu Miu, the iconic ’70s footwear is set to be a major trend in spring 2026. This classic style has been featured on the runways of Bottega Veneta, Simone Rocha, and Zimmermann.
Vogue’s Favorite Clogs:
Clogs, known for their wooden soles, originated in the 13th century. They were initially worn by Dutch farmers as protective footwear against heavy machinery. Similarly, wooden sandals were used in feudal Japan to keep feet and kimono hems free from mud and water. The style reemerged in the late ’60s and ’70s as a key element of bohemian fashion.
In the current fashion landscape, clogs are enjoying a renaissance. They are available in traditional materials like woven leather and suede, as well as modern variations featuring PVC and crystal details. Offering more support and durability than sandals, clogs are easy to wear and pair well with summer outfits. Combine platform clogs with dresses or statement skirts, or opt for a heeled version to enhance jeans and shorts—they complement nearly any ensemble.
Style icons like Alexa Chung, Zendaya, and Daisy Edgar-Jones have long appreciated clogs for their casual elegance. Whether you’re already a fan or just warming to the style, this spring’s selection of clogs promises to captivate. Explore our top picks below.
