Alright, let me tell you about the time I discovered these ugly shoes called clogs and mules.
It all started on a Saturday morning. I was out shopping and noticed someone’s bangin’ summer outfit.
And…and..they had clogs on…or mules, whatever they are called.
I thought, well, those are ugly shoes, why ruin her ‘fit?
Well they didn’t. I actually LOVED the look and couldn’t wait to get my personal clogs for my summer outfits.
Since that day, clogs and mules have been my go-to for creating those effortlessly chic looks that turn heads and keep me comfy.
Now, I’m sharing my fave outfit combos with you all so we can slay together.
Ready to dive into some killer clog outfit ideas (and mules too)? Let’s make it happen with these 73 cute outfit ideas for summer! 💁♀️✨
But before all that, let’s get this outta of the way.
What is the difference between a mule and a clog shoe?
Mules are the versatile shoes that have no back, so you can easily slide them on and go.
They’re perfect for those times when you’re in a hurry but still want to look stylish.
Mules come in a variety of styles, from sleek and sophisticated to fun and casual, making them a great addition to any wardrobe.
Clogs, on the other hand, are known for their chunky, often wooden sole and closed toe.
They give off a vintage vibe and are incredibly comfortable, making them ideal for long days when you’re on your feet a lot.
So, mules are your quick and easy option for instant chic, while clogs offer a retro flair with extra comfort.
Both are fantastic choices for elevating your shoe game.
Are you supposed to wear socks with mules?
Wearing socks with mules is totally up to you and your style!
Traditionally, mules are often worn without socks for a sleek, effortless look. However, if you want to add a bit of flair or stay warm, you can definitely rock some stylish socks with your mules.
Try pairing them with classic white socks or neutral knitted color socks like grey or beige.
Ultimately, it’s all about what makes you feel comfortable and fashionable. So go ahead and experiment to find your perfect combo!
If you wear Birkenstocks or clogs, the white sock is what everyone wears. It’s trendy and it’s classic.
What kind of pants to wear with clogs?
When it comes to pairing pants with clogs, you’ve got plenty of stylish options. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Wide-Leg Pants: These create a balanced look with the chunky sole of clogs and give off a relaxed, boho vibe.
- Cropped Jeans: Show off your clogs by pairing them with cropped jeans. This combo is perfect for a casual, everyday look.
- Flared Jeans: Channel some vintage flair with flared jeans, which go perfectly with the retro feel of clogs.
- Straight-Leg Pants: For a more polished look, straight-leg pants or trousers work well with clogs, making them suitable for both casual and semi-formal settings.
- Culottes: These wide, cropped pants look great with clogs, offering a stylish yet comfortable outfit choice.
Experiment with these options to find the best match for your clogs and personal style!
